Hello Trip Tenders!
We have just launched the first Major Update for Tempest Tower as part of the Best Indie Games Summer Showcase 2025 🎉
About the Update
I hope you are ready to touch some grass, because this update brings you to a brand new world: The Garden. The Garden world features a new enemy type to deal with as well as new hazards and items.
We are also excited to show off our new and improved level selection hub! We were having a hard time fitting everything into the level selection screen so we decided to build a diegetic level selection world that you can run around and explore. We think that this new world space adds a boatload of charm to the game and we will be expanding on this space as we go.
You can see the trailer for the Touch Grass Update right here!
Roadmap Update
We also have an updated roadmap to give you a better idea of what lies ahead! In the near future we will be bringing you player stats, new towers and upgrades, and improved meta progression. If you have any ideas or requests make sure you join in the conversation on Discord or via the Steam Community Hub!
