GIANT UPDATE.
We have a new Waterfall map. This is a simple wave mode for now, with some nice new scenery for you to enjoy. It's much larger than it looks. We'll likely be adding some specific mechanics for this map as time goes on.
Added new chill mode; this is desert wave mode, but at a much lower pace and more relaxed play style. If you want to take it easy, or just experiment, this is the mode for you.
We've changed a ton of balance related stuff, and economy / research related stuff. You'll have to buy the new research buildings to unlock / upgrade tools. The drones are generally much stronger overall. Difficulty curves for waves and strategy 0.5 is smoother at the start but still ramps up well.
The strategy 0.5 mode now has a new enemy builder which flies around and builds (instead of buildings magically appearing). There are also now two building types - each one spawns different enemy types.
If you had any issues with previous balance, please try out the waves mode, waterfall or strategy 0.5 modes and let us know how you feel about the changes! (discord or steam forums)
IMPORTANT: a lot of people had a crash issue - we painstakingly built a repro case and unity managed to get the bug fixed. Thanks everyone who submitted reports, it's super helpful. Thanks to everyone in discord helping test out the builds as we experimented. <3
