[h3]Hello dear explorers.[/h3]

Thanks to your many feedbacks, we were able to identify and resolve several frustrating aspects of the game, particularly regarding balancing and the lack of explanations for certain mechanics. Your constructive criticism has greatly helped us make improvements and make Artisan TD more accessible and enjoyable.
A big thank you for your support!

We have added tips to better explain strategies and adjusted difficulty levels. We are also offering 3 new boards and a new power, Quick Shot, which allows a tower to instantly fire and reset its targeting, usable multiple times per wave. At the same time, we optimized several technical aspects: full controller support, improved zoom, DLSS/FSR support, and rebalancing of towers and waves on certain maps.

We look forward to your feedback and will continue to improve the game.

For the honor and glory of the Artisan Guild!
