Our Next Playtest Starts December 3rd!

[p]Hello everyone! 👋[/p][p][/p][p]We’re gearing up for another playtest on December 3rd, and it’s shaping up to be a big one thanks to all your support through the year![/p][p][/p][p]When and where?[/p][p]The playtest will run from December 3rd to December 10th, giving you a full week to explore the game and enjoy all the newly added features.[/p][p][/p][p]How to participate?[/p][p]To participate, head over to our Steam page, look for the Playtest section. Click on Request Access. If you click before December 3, you will need to wait until the playtest is active to download the game. Starting December 3, you will be granted access and will be able to download the game to your Steam library.[/p][p][/p][p]As a way to show our appreciation, all playtesters will be awarded a Special Playtester Hat: a finely engineered cardboard box, perfect for those with refined taste.[/p][p] [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Wizard Raccoon[/p][p]There is a new Raccoon joining the posse! This tricky trash panda prefers casting spells from afar, disabling your towers while the rest of the posse closes in, but that’s not all they’ve got up their sleeve… Which you’ll have to play to find out![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Beehive Upgrades[/p][p]Because so many players rely on bees to keep their gardens safe, we decided it was time to give them some well-deserved love. Bees will now have their own upgrade path, allowing you to level them up! As your hives become stronger, honey bees will join the fight at night![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Petting the Pig
By popular request, you can now officially pet the town pig! The community asked, and we happily delivered. Give him a little pat next time you pass by.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Dynamic Haul[/p][p]The more crops in your haul, the bigger it gets… literally! Now, when you put crops in your haul visibly grow in size! But watch out… When the posse takes from your haul, it will shrink![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Notifications[/p][p]When you pick up items, a handy notification will pop up on your screen so you always know what’s happening around you or what you have just picked up.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]New Town Music
We’ve added brand-new town music to the Rabbit Haul, bringing an even more cozy charm to your adventures. [/p][p]Plus many more Improvements/Balancing/Big Fixes based on your feedback![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]We cannot wait to share this latest playtest with you! Make sure to join our Discord to share any feedback you have, and feel free to invite your friends to help spread the word! ✨[/p][p][/p][p]And make sure to keep up with us on socials!
[/p][p]See you on December 3rd! 👋[/p]
