Hello everyone!
We are thrilled to announce that the demo for Skibi's Castle TD 2 is now live on Steam! For those of you who may not be familiar, Skibi's Castle TD 2 is a colorful, sticker-themed tower defense game developed by missing_tooltip and skotey, the same team behind the original. Command Skibi's defenses and protect her castle from Rydik's invaders by summoning troops and purchasing new towers and upgrades.
Key Demo Features:

- Strategic Depth: Replay stages to perfect your scores in time and cost to earn the game's most valuable currency, piggoldrats!
- Indie Craftsmanship: Handcrafted by a passionate indie family company, ensuring a personal touch and a pinch of sarcasm.
- Original Music: Get into the zen mode with original tunes by haishoe, featuring nostalgic themes to match the seasonal settings.
- Leaderboards: Compete with friends on the leaderboards.
Journey Before Destination
Our vision for Skibi's Castle TD 2 is to reimagine tower defense from the ground up, merging upfront auto-battler planning with puzzle-like levels. SK2 is the first step in the journey for us, just like the original (fun fact: the Blizzard version of the game was actually Skibi Castle TD 1 version 6). To that end, we plan to have the full release before the year is out so you have a cool new game to play, and we can enjoy our holidays ːlunar2019grinningpigː.
After the game is released, our next step in 2025 is to listen to your feedback and expand upon the core gameplay. This could mean borrowing from roguelike and idle game systems, improving on the traditional survival mode, or introducing something new like a bullet hell tower defense RTS mission hybrid.
Your Feedback Matters!
We would love to hear your feedback on the game! Check out the demo, then let us know what is working for you and what isn't. We're open to any ideas for new game content, including towers, enemies, and mechanics. Your input is invaluable as we continue to develop and improve SK2.
Wishlist and Support
Please consider adding Skibi's Castle TD 2 to your wishlist to stay updated with our latest developments and future updates. There will inevitably be some bugs, so please let us know if you encounter any issues.
What's Next?
This demo highlights the 'summer' biome. Our plan is to work on the Fall biome next, in time for Steam Next Fest, and to have the Winter biome ready for the full release. We are excited to share this journey with you and look forward to your feedback and suggestions.
Creating games has been my lifelong passion, and I believe that how we reach our goals and what we learn along the way is more important than the destination itself. I hope that playing SK2 is as enjoyable and fulfilling for you as it was for us to create it. Let us know what you think, chat!
Thank you for the support,
The Khookey Dev team
