New Update 1.3.5 Available — „Knockback & Fortify”

[p]Hi,[/p][p][/p][p]In this update I’ve added a new projectile type and a bunch of real improvements. In short: a knockback projectile, smoother pushback on fortifications, autosave and boss fixes, optimizations, and nicer post-effects in cutscenes. [/p][p]⮞ See it in action first:


🔹 What’s new / Highlights [/p]

• [p]NEW projectile type: “knockback.” Turn on pushback and play with wave physics on the screen. [/p]
• [p]Fortifications with bite. Pushback on defenses is smoother and easier to read. [/p]
• [p]Safer campaigns. I improved the save system and autosave in the campaign. [/p]
• [p]Bosses polished. Fewer “weird” cases, better telegraphs. [/p]
• [p]Better cutscenes. Upgraded post-effects — the image “breathes” nicer. [/p]

[p][/p][p]🧾 Full changelog 1.3.5[/p]

• [p]Added a “knockback” projectile (preset: WALL DEFENSE + knockback setting). [/p]
• [p]Smoothed pushback logic for projectiles and fortifications (more stable collisions and feel). [/p]
• [p]Improved the save system and campaign autosave (fewer edge cases after cutscenes/map screens). [/p]

[p]💡 GIF tip
Use the WALL DEFENSE preset, enable knockback, trigger a high-density wave — 5–8 seconds and you’re set. A perfect evening pattern. [/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]Thanks for the feedback and reports — they help me ship these “mini-revolutions” faster. Got an idea for the next preset or a quality-of-life tweak?
