No Creeps Were Harmed TD News

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
[h2]NEW MAPS[/h2]
Drop: A mostly vertical map where creeps speed downward at ludicrous speeds!
Spew: A new contender for the hardest map in the game. Creeps emerge from the center of the map and assault four drillers on the fringes.
Duplex: A randomized map inspired by the map Twofold.
Switchback: A randomized map inspired by the map Cascade.

[h2]NEW ABILITY[/h2]
Entropy Wave: Triggers an expanding wave of localized universal heat death, freezing creeps in place and slowing them down for a short time.

[h3]ARTIFACT REROLL CHANGES[/h3]
You can now use artifact essence to reroll artifacts when you receive them after a map. The essence needed to reroll is based on the current quality of the artifact. Every reroll will increase the cost by 10%. The old method of reducing quality for a reroll is still present. You are free to use both reroll methods on the same artifact drop as many times as you like, as long as you can afford to do so.

[h3]Tweaks[/h3]
-Various text changes based on new artifact reroll method.
-Better bridge generation on Exchange map.
-Upkeep tax tutorial triggers at a higher value (softer warning).
-Upkeep tax text color changes at a higher value (softer warning).

[h3]Fixes[/h3]
-Fixed a few type-0s.

[h3]Tweaks[/h3]
-Quit To Menu button changed to read “Finish Map” if you die during endless mode.

[h3]Removal[/h3]
-Entangled Fate achievement has been removed, as some players are playing co-op only for the achievement and not to actually play co-op.

[h3]Additions[/h3]
-Added a backup save system for when the unthinkable happens.

[h3]Tweaks[/h3]
-Adjusted some tiles on “Hairpin” to hopefully make the Porter behavior more obvious.
