  Another little patch, fixing some of the issues you players had.

• Lots of fixes - mostly sounds! - 8 September 2026

  Hey Hey, I am back with a brand new update. Thanks again for your feedback in the steam discussion forums. Keep those comments coming! Patchnotes: - Boss dying sound should only play ONCE now :) - abilities get disabled when hero is dead - exploding barrels make noise now - spawning slightly more enemies - making enemies a tiny bit faster - MAYBE fixed the invulnerability bug??? (some enemies had regenerating health, don't ask why. Tell me if the bug still occurs!) - Mage got debuffed in several ways - flower pots now show correct items when you can buy upgrades - healing and coin collect sounds are less annoying - boar unit is broader now and should be more useful Next big update coming soon! I realized, that the total amount of runs played does NOT save at the moment, so that you only unlock certain things for 1 session. Sorry for that. See you soon! the Dev

• New day, new patch! - 2 September 2026

  Another patch, tweaking a lot of different aspects of the game. Especially the first minute(s) of a run should be easier now. So if you got frustrated, maybe try again! :) (And leave a nice review, if you can...) Patchnotes: - Reduced Mages firerate (was a bit overpowered) - Fire spell lasts a shorter time - Blast radius of exploder increased - enemy waves are further apart - amulet is cheaper - you can find more coins by moving around the level - reduced health of some early enemies - tweaked spider's net ability

  Here we go. Patchnotes: - Saving gold really is working now. For sure. I think. - Unit Spawning sound is less annoying - Tweaked Mages fire ability - Pause screen now has a "how to play" section - added plant icon to the hub village Thanks for your feedback. Keep it coming! Plans for the near future: - add more and bigger bosses - add hero skins - adjust balancing (start of the game still too difficult?) What sounds the most important to you? Let me know in the comments.

• My bad... - 31 August 2026

  Saving the amount of gold actually did NOT work, so I reverted the changes for now. Sorry about that. Real solution will follow soon, hopefully. :) Thanks again for playing.

  Hey Community, thanks again for all your input and feedback. I adressed some of it in this latest patch. More to follow soon!
