• Review issues - 16 June 2017

  So here it is in one place. I did not know the rules of steam. And as such people that have been afiliated with the game posted reviews in the past. I had no malicious intent here, and where as ignorance is not a great excuss it is what happened. All of the reviews that do not meet the policy of steam have been removed, and now knowing the rules will not happen again. And I whole heartedly appolgize for any hardship or confusion I have caused. I truely hope that the community can forgive my ignorance. I really should have read more of the terms and services... Update: I have been thinking about this all day (and laying in bed thinking about it all night) and here is what I have come to... If for any reason you feel that you have been mislead by any of the reviews in question I will refund your money no matter how long ago you made the purchase (if you can still get your refund from stre…

• Patch 1.10 - Game Modes, new art, Low rez optimization, and more! - 11 September 2015

  Hey Everyone! This patch is quite a bit larger than normal !!! We are happy to introduce Game Modes: - 4 Tower Mode: Beat the level with just 4 towers (normal is 5 towers) - Break Neck Mode: Play the game with the pause button disabled, and the speed locked at 200%. Game modes are available after beating a level. Game modes also have their own high scores, and are available for every difficulty level. These additions/changes: - Low rez textures are now in (at least 1 set, we will do more if we need to). This should make the game look much better for players playing at a lower rez. (Note: we are still working on fonts) - More new textures for game models. These should enhance the look and feel of the game. - More cheater combating (still more to come, but we are both making progress against cheating, as well as adding more safe guards) - Text alignment fixes - Load ballencing for older h…
