Wrote up the patch notes for the Towerbound Halloween update - it’s a big one. Should be out this week!

Almost done with work on the Fortress-magic deck for the big update. Now you can shoot arrows, which is tricky, but converting them to homing arrows is fun.

Also converting bombs to cherry-bombs (max 1 damage), but always spawns 3 additional cherry-bombs is pretty wild looking.

Trick or treat - some enemies are wearing masks during Halloween season!

Now I really have to get this Towebound update out before Halloween.

Started in earnest on the third type of Towerbound magic today. It's Coral magic!

Now you can place these coral polyps, which each night spawn new coral shelf blocks on your tower. This can lead to surprising big and fragile tower designs.

Big Towerbound breakthrough over here, now directional seeming blocks that shoot things are indeed directional. Right facing ones to the right, left ones, shockingly to the left.

Towerbound shops are functional now! Save your money and buy new cards and artifacts!

Also all cards have rarities and a spellbook type. The spellbook type will work sort of the factions in Monster Train where you get a major and minor and use that to help define your strategy.

Been plugging away at adding shops to Towerbound for way too long now, but I drew a shopkeeper animation, so things are looking up.

Also, now I get to be a cozy/wholesome game right??

Hey #PitchYaRogue

I'm making Towerbound freezebeam.itch.io/towerbound

It's a coffee-break length roguelike deck builder, where you cast spells to build wizard towers in the day and defend them from tower defense waves at night.

Added some coins to Towerbound now with a nice little ding sound. Shopping is up next...

Added some priest type enemies that buff and heal. New update should be out soon, maybe tomorrow, or worst case Sunday.

Ok, new arrow spire plus homing arrows might be OP.

New artifact on the way to Towerbound! Homing arrows coming soon.
