Version 0.52 - Grand City, Alt Ronald, and More!

Version 0.52 is now out! Includes new visuals for the co-op map, Grand City, an alternative to Ronalds, improved Tower Table functionality, 18 new Achievements, 6 new Cosmetics, and numerous improvements and bug fixes!



[h2]Features[/h2]
  • Grand City now has proper visuals!
  • New Multiplayer Achievements added! Noted, all of the following require at least one other player in the game:
    • Added 3 Achievements based on winning 1st Place 1 / 5 / 25 times in an FFA Game
    • Added 8 Achievements based on clearing through Wave 55 in Teams Mode, one for each map
    • Added 4 Achievements based on beating Grand City, one for each Difficulty
    • Added 3 Achievements based on getting 500 / 2000 / 5000 Boss Score in Grand City
  • By default, from Wave 56 onwards, the game will now show a different boss visual, replacing Ronald.
    • But fret not, to re-enable Ronald, just go to your Game Settings, and set "Ronald Boss Skin" to On.
  • If you Ctrl+Click in the Tower Table, it will now build and automatically upgrade that tower to the highest level available.
    • This also works with Shift Building and Drag Building.


[h2]Teams Mode[/h2]
  • The difficulty of Teams has been rescaled:
    • Creep count reduced from 60 to 40
    • Bounty multiplier increased from x1 to x1.5
    • HP increased from x1 to x1.7
  • If you are on a team, and your ally leaves early, all future waves will use Solo HP Scaling.
  • If you are on a team, and your ally leaves early, the Wave 56+ Boss Waves no longer get stuck after one wave.


[h2]Improvements & Fixes[/h2]
  • The Main Menu has received another coat of paint.
  • Added option to hide Ally Indicators.

  • Fixed Earth's Shockwave visual not showing up.
  • Fixed Teams Notifications resetting itself every time you re-opened the game.

Regarding Leaderboard Support for Teams & Co-op Modes, that was supposed to arrive this patch, but some complications came up, and we're delaying that to Version 0.53. In the meantime, enjoy the new-and-improved Grand City, along with our other improvements!
