HERO COLORS AND BATTLE BATMEN!^
This patch is all about style, clarity, and co-op polish. You can now swap between heroes and colors before the waves start, defenses fully revive when you star them up, the Swinging Axe finally got the no-more-dying-forever treatment, and we did a big multiplayer pass to make everything feel more consistent.^^
Thank you again for all the feedback and wishlists. Keep it coming. We read it all and we’re patching fast.^^

Space Ace is also getting some new colors
Pst.. he also has a new portrait for the UI as well
Swinging Axe No Longer Dies Forever
The Swinging Axe is the last one on our list to receive the invulnerability treatment. We're also giving the Swinging Axe some much needed buffs as well.
Can no longer die forever
Applies Crit Damage team bonuses
Applies Health team bonuses
Applies Crit chance team bonuses
The Battle Batmen
Following the advice of the many who spoke out about the look and feel of the game, we're turning soldiers into bat wielding menaces. They come with upgrades from batons to spiky metal bats.
Resources
Sometimes it's a bit difficult to see which trees or gold mines are being worked on at a glance, so we've made a small visual improvement.
Trees and Gold Mines now bounce when losing wood or gold
Full Revivals
One thing that didn't feel good was starring up a dead defense. Some people wanted the ability to do so, while others felt like it should also bring them back to the battle. We agree with both, so now when you star up a defense, it revives to full health and starts defending again.
Swinging Axe
Gatling Turret
Battle Bats
Battle Archers
