Tower Unite Anniversary Events! (0.17.10.0)
To celebrate Tower Unite's debut to Early Access, we're starting our Anniversary Event celebrations!
Kalleira, wanting to celebrate with everyone, caused mayhem by bringing in all the characters and minigames from all the holiday events. Due to her magic, this event features minigames from Halloween events and Winter Holiday events all at the same time!
You can read all about the anniversary events and the update here.
We've also started work on the next update to the anniversary events, which will include some bug fixes and some new items.
macdguy worked on releasing the initial update, and fixing bugs that popped up after.
Nuclearxpotato and Joshua worked on some new items.
Upcoming Anniversary Items
Some new items include: Pretty Catsacks, Paper Streamers, Party Crown (in three designer colors), Catsack Guitars, and Condo equivalents of the anniversary items from the last patch.
Bumper Cars
