Dev Log for April/May 2025
Warning - Spoilers Ahead
If you prefer to keep the game's content a surprise, I would advise you stop reading now as most of the updates / images come from late-game content!
ːbtd6thumbsupː What's New?
World 4 is now done! ːer_waveː Including the End Boss!
The Ancient Plateau is a tropical volcanic area teaming with prehistoric terrors!
Featuring Sliding Walls!
You'll have to think ahead and be careful not to lose your towers to the lava.
The Final Showdown!
You'll have to beat the game to take on the final guardian.
The Last Summon!
A special summon unlocked in the shop, which makes Traps cheaper... and places mines everywhere!
New music for the Ancient Plateau!

ːbtd6darkknightː Beast Mode!
Unlocked once you beat world 4 - Beast Mode offers an additional challenge to those who want it. If you'd like to playtest - just ask! :)
Rules:
Additional enemies and waves for each level.
Abilities can only be used once per level (except for boss battles).
No challenges.
Only one life.
Collect artefacts and spend them in the new Beast Shrine to unlock extra endgame maps and modes!
Note: screenshots below are placeholders (I still need to make them!)
