[p]The first update is now available, resolving the most critical issues.[/p][p][/p][h3]Update v. 1.0.4[/h3]

• [p]Fixed Marketplace deleting item upgrades if all copies were traded[/p]

• [p]Always zoom out the camera for the highest beaten boss, not the current one, after restarting the game[/p]
• [p]Clarified the description and added a tooltip to Divine Gems in the achievements tab[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][p]Thanks for your patience![/p]

[p]IMPORTANT[/p]

1. [p]There's a bug with Marketplace that when you trade every copy of an item, you lose it, including upgrades, after restarting the game.,[/p]
2. [p]In later stages, you might experience a memory leak, probably related to damage numbers. A temporary solution is to disable them or restart the game.,[/p]

[p]Sorry for that! [/p][p]We're working on fixing those issues as soon as possible. [/p][p]We will address other topics as well, but let us focus on those first.
[/p][p]As a side note:[/p]

• [p]If your demo save didn't import, see this thread: ⁠Demo save⁠[/p]
• [p]Not everyone realized you can hold left click to auto-hit bosses and to auto-buy structure upgrades. We need to add this info somewhere in the game.[/p]
• [p]Another thing easy to overlook - to unlock other boss rush challenges in Arena, you've got to upgrade the building.

[p]Last note: a massive THANK YOU! We're trying to keep up with all the comments. Love reading your theorycrafting, it's insane what's happening.[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][p]Thanks for all the hype, wishlists and feedback! We're forever grateful! [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Enjoy the game![/p][p]Ada & Mike[/p][p][/p]

[p]Hey, thank you for 30K wishlists![/p][p][/p][p]We've updated all screenshots, so check them out if you are interested in Skill Tree, new Bosses, etc.[/p][p][/p][p]Now, let's answer the often asked questions: price, content, and demo progress.[/p][p][/p][h2]**PRICE**[/h2][p]at -10% for the first 14 days:[/p][p]$8.99 | 8.77€ | 35.99zł | £7.65[/p][p]and standard Steam price conversion for other currencies[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]**CONTENT**[/h2][p]How much content is there? It is difficult to estimate playtime in a game that can be played actively or may be left in the background for hours. Build types, hard/soft prestiges done, completed challenges - each can heavily affect the time.[/p][p]Our estimates are:[/p][p]~3 days to beat the main Bosses[/p][p]~1-2 weeks to get all achievements[/p][p]??? to max everything, get all pets and complete optional content[/p][p]After beating all the Bosses, it's not over. You can continue playing, and it's worth doing so, as each Boss drops unique items, and duplicates are used to reveal additional effects. It'll be possible to do 100% in the game, such as beating all bosses, collecting all items, getting max levels. There'll be some end-game activities, like Steam leaderboards in the Arena.[/p][p]If you want to know details, SPOILERS: Content of the full game is ||13+|| Bosses, ||15+|| structures, ||27+|| equipment items (each with multiple upgrades), ||14|| Pets, ||Weather|| system, numerous variants of Meteors, Skill Tree.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]**DEMO REWARD & PROGRESS**[/h2][p]If you've managed to beat Crystal Golem in the demo and kept the save, you'll receive a special pet to make sure your comeback is rock solid! The pet will be tough to get in-game otherwise.[/p][p]You will keep your items from the demo (equipment, materials, keys), but gold and town upgrades do not carry over. You'll be able to start completely fresh if you prefer, and still keep the pet.[/p][p][/p][p]Release is in just 10 days![/p]
