We have been really excited to release this huge content update after all the hard work that has been put in to make this happen and we can't wait to see how you all enjoy it!

First up, we have a new map (Desert 5) which includes our first ever trap (spikes). These spikes will hurt both enemies and the player, but don't worry, you can now buy medkits from the trader to heal yourself if you get hurt by them! This map has 3 lanes which only one can be chosen and each lane plays very differently. Please note that this map is the shortest and hardest map that has been created so far - you have been warned!

Secondly, we have added animations to every single tower and completely replaced the particle effects and sounds that some towers produced. This adds a lot of immersion to the world and is really interesting to watch them work.

We have reworked the laser tower so that it now only focuses bosses - this now makes them a viable tower, rather than a tower that is never being used.

We have remodelled, animated and added an evolve to the drone tower. The evolve will now collect coins for you, so you don't always have to run up the map to get them.

There's a heck of a lot of bug fixes and quality of life changes in this patch, all of which are listed in the patch notes below:
