FIRST PLAYTEST DEBRIEF
A massive thank you to everyone who stormed the first playtest. The data is in, the feedback is electric, and the vision for the game is sharpening by the hour.
We’ve moved past the "proof of concept" stage and now we're building a triple-I titan. The core mechanics stood their ground, and we’re layering in the depth you’ve been asking for.
💫 New POP Upgrades!
We’ve unleashed a dozen new POP's stickers and Auras upgrades. The meta is shifting go find the most broken combinations before everyone else does.
⁉️ MODS and FIELDS: Know the difference.
Use Mods to supercharge a single POP's lethality. Use Fields to broadcast elemental effects — like Ignition or Shock — to every Sentry POP's in the radius.
Stack them to break the game.
🎰 Reworked Upgrade Flow
Choices now carry more weight. We’ve streamlined the process and expanded the pool to 3 capsules instead of 2. More variety, deeper strategy, more impact.
🧩 New building system
Experience the new Sector Building System. We’ve eliminated tower collisions, cranked up the game speed and provided deeper strategic choices alongside new AoE upgrades.
🖱 Now playable with one hand
Dominating the battlefield should feel effortless. We’ve implemented high-precision mouse controls for the ultimate "chill but lethal" experience:
• RMB to move.
• MMB to rotate the camera.
• Edge Scrolling enabled for the veterans.
