This week, we did a lot of clean up and prep work for our upcoming update. We were also able to fix a lot of outstanding issues and lay the ground work for all of the new things that are planned in December. Here is a list of the updates currently in progress:

• New Avatars for every Hero
• New Battle Bot Defense + Tech Tree Upgrades
  • Will function similar to a mobile tower
• New Hero + Voice Work
• Voice Acted Tutorials
• Monster Book + Rewards
• The Christmas Event!

We want to thank everyone for playing and for your continued support and feedback. We hope you enjoy!

MAJOR

• The X Button
  • We’ve fixed the issue with players needing pin point accuracy to close some screens. This was one of the most requested features (Outside of a new hero and more defenses) that we’ve received. While the first new defense (The Battle Bot) is coming soon, we had the chance to fix the x button being hard to press across every screen in the game. This is especially helpful on devices with smaller screens.
• Button Redesigns
  • There were quite a few outdated buttons hidden among the thousand windows in the game so we found them and gave them a new look. We won’t list them all to protect your eyes but there were… around 50+ of them across 200 different windows.
• AFK Fix
  • There was an issue where AFK could not be claimed if the free stone you were receiving came with a very specific passive and rarity. We apologize for this and we were able to hot-fix this issue on Saturday. We’ll be mailing 500 diamonds to everyone as compensation after the update goes live.
• The Log Skill
  • The Log Skill now knocks up enemies for 1.25 seconds. We’ll continue to revamp and add to skills to make them as viable as normal defenses. Let us know of any balance changes that would make your favorite skill more fun to use.

NEW

• New Tutorial flow
• Red “i” indicator on claimable vision quest rewards
• New Sound fx when you level up
• New Icon for post game stats
• New Sound fx when claiming AFK rewards
• New finger blink on defenses button in early levels when defense is placeable
• Finger now blinks on heroes with ultimates ready at early levels
• New Sound fx to Stats button
• New App Icon
• New “Claimed” text across Isabella when she’s been claimed in the Welcome Login event
