Steam Deck Verified & V.0.2.12. Update

Grab your Steam Deck and dive in for the next escape, because Lucky Tower Ultimate is Steam Deck verified!

We’re super excited to reach this milestone, so thanks to everyone for reporting bugs to help us create a better handheld experience.

[h2]V.0.2.12. Update:[/h2]

[h3]New Backup System[/h3]

For this update, we added a lot of safety fallbacks and a whole new backup system to keep your files even safer! For most of you, nothing will actually change, but we did implement a few things to ensure the safety of your progress, so here's a short overview:

[h3]Auto Save[/h3]
Since some people reported crashes or weird behavior when using Alt + F4, we implemented a brand new autosave feature. While you're in the village, the game will create a backup every two minutes. This way, even if your computer crashes, your progress should still be saved.

[h3]Daily Backups[/h3]
Your data will now also be saved into a separate daily backup folder. Your most recent save files will be copied into this folder, saving the newest data for the last five consecutive days you've played the game. This is just an additional backup, as long as nothing breaks, you don't need to worry about this folder, but you can use the files to restore your progress if needed!

[h3]Local Backups[/h3]
Before this update, every file was saved in the Steam Cloud, now we're also creating local backups. You don't need to worry about these, it's just an additional safety net. If somehow Steam Cloud messes with your files, you can copy your local files into the proper folder manually and restore what Steam destroyed!

All of these features should help prevent broken or corrupted save files, create regular safety backups, and allow you to manually restore your files in case your computer crashes or Steam Cloud is messing with your files.

Please note, that many people (players and developers alike) have problems with the Steam Cloud sometimes not properly syncing files between different computers. We tried our best to create the best possible backup system for you guys!

If you’ve been enjoying Lucky Tower Ultimate (and haven’t already), please consider reviewing the game on Steam.

Item ideas

...and the winner of community vote No. 5 is... the bear traps and rakes!

It was the tightest race so far among all polls, with 999 votes total.

This concludes the voting for the upcoming milestone. Thanks to all people who participated! The next vote will be for new companions, since the milestone after that will be the companion milestone.

As a bonus, here's a picture of the item ideas we are working on and want to implement at some point. Some of them are recurring designs from Lucky Tower 1 & 2 that will hopefully find their way into Ultimate.

Feel free to share your own item ideas. Cheers!

Community vote no. 5: Weird stuff

Happy New 2025 to all of you!

We hope you enjoyed the Yule update. Father Frost has been removed from the game for now, but like winter, he will return every year.

Let's kickstart the new year with a community vote!

The winner of the last poll was the pipes, which might have gone unnoticed due to the seasonal update. This time, we have some oddities for you to vote on. Cheers!

Happy Holidays from Studio Seufz

Good Yule, Merry Christmas and happy holidays, Adventurers!

To celebrate the season, we’re launching a limited holiday-themed update for Lucky Tower Ultimate, from Dec 20 until Jan 7, 2025.

In this update, you’ll find Father Frost himself trapped somewhere in the tower. He’s furious about your spot on the naughty list and ready to attack. But don’t worry—you can still claim your 'presents' by relieving him of his apparel and items. Including his beard.

Any limited items you unlock in the village shop will remain in-game after the holidays.

Enjoy the update, and don’t forget to leave some punch for Father Frost!
