In todays patch we have addressed some requests of players who are new to the game, improved the tutorial and fixed some bugs.
Tutorial
In the tutorial we forgot to talk people through evolving towers which dramatically changes strategies. Although it is not required, nor is it always beneficial to evolve towers, we still needed to tell players about how to do it. Remember you do not need to evolve if you don't want to, you can simply upgrade the tower as normal. It is a choice that you have to make to fit around your strategy.
We also had reports of the tutorial not allowing players to build and progress, so we have fixed that whilst we're at it. You should now be able to complete the tutorial and learn everything about the game.
Leaderboard
We had a request from a player yesterday that they would like the ability to see their friends scores in the lobby, without having to complete a game or view the leaderboards on the steam community page. So we've added two new buttons on the lobby screen; one to show top 10 and another to show your friends scores!
Air arrow towers
Ever pressed the (Switch Mode) button on an arrow tower? Well it is supposed to attack dragons (good for early game air defence) and shows you this by displaying an "up arrow" on the tower. The problem was, it wasn't actually hitting the dragons and was flying over their heads! We have now fixed this issue so no longer do you have to rush an anti-air tower, you can rely on those arrow towers with (Switch Mode) enabled to get you through things for a little bit.
Player news
We've had a lot of new players to the game this week - probably one of our top 3 weeks. It has been great to see new people in the Discord and twitch streamers playing the game (some have racked up over 30 hours in 3 days!) and we look forward to watching you all try different strategies!
