Another week, another update! This time we have a large performance increase, especially when there are lots of bosses in the world at the same time.
We had noticed the game was becoming increasingly difficult for players and we have now found the reason why. Some towers were not functioning as intended so we've rewritten the most important part of the game (tower targeting) to be more reliable and be way more efficient. We have also noticed that some boss buffs were not being applied as intended, so we went back to the drawing board and got them working properly and again, efficiently!
We're hoping you should feel a difference in the performance and smoothness of how the game plays and towers work more like you'd expect them to. We will continue making more performance related changes as part of our constant ongoing upgrades.
