"Now directly allow placing walls and towers directly on top of existing walls and towers."
This is a lovely change. This makes placing towers nicer, requiring fewer clicks and menus when visualizing range.

As a suggestion, my wish for placing towers on top of walls is to be able to change the targeting when I start the upgrade. I often won't notice when a particular tower finishes upgrading from a wall, so the targeting doesn't change until I notice it's built and check its targeting.

"Nerfed armor regen"
I use a lot of blast towers, so I usually don't notice armor regen, but I expect this change will help you balance the waves better.

I see you listed the wind knockback cooldown.
What is the cooldown for lightning? Not as comparison, just so I know better how to place those towers.

"Nerf to research speed, now takes 10% longer"
I expect this to be a good change. I often found myself running through research much faster than I could accommodate with people unless I took the researcher off duty.

Overall fine. One minor gripe... I run on a not very powerful PC and game speed gets downgraded to double. Fair enough. After this latest patch though. I'm having to click many times on a button before it registers. It often changes colour on rollover, but does not take any action. Very frustrating. Previously I could click and move on knowing action had been taken, but I'm now having to monitor every click to ensure it's worked. Solution? Buy a better PC. :-) I know, I know...

Very enjoyable game though... well done!

Ohh yikes, I think that button registering issue is likely a byproduct of upgrading unity UI toolkit versions, I'll see what can be done.

I don't see to be able to see the new Island 5 as an option for a new game. I've completed the first 4. Am i missing something?

Great game, apologies in advance if i've missed something obvious.

Unfortunately, before this patch, I wasn't saving if you had built a victory statue on island 4. The easiest way to unlock would be to load your island 4 game, and destroy the statue and build a new one to unlock. Alternatively if you have beat a wave 5000+ on island 4 it will also unlock.

I went back to the previous island 4 game and hit continue as it continues from just before the infernal power is added to the statue and game completes. However when it completes it still doesn't allow me to start on island 5?

Is it a complete rebuild required?

You were correct, it would have required a rebuild. BUT - I just pushed out a hotfix so you should be able to load that game again, finish the statue, and then be able to move on.

(You may need to relaunch steam to get this update, it sometimes takes steam to up to 30 minutes to auto-find updates).

Great, thanks that fixed it, I can launch the 5th island. Yes I found out the steam update issue/delay after I posted the first time. Although it had downloaded it didn't offer me the update for a some time. But I guess it was the hotfix that sorted it for me without having to rebuild the statue.

Thanks again for the very prompt response.

Dammit! I gotta start over again...? (he said knowing he was prolly gonna do that anyway, but you know.. it's the intertoobz). Thanks, Mike!

Really enjoyed island 5. I found myself on the edge of the seat with the boss as he got closer and closer to the end of my tower lines, it was getting pretty close :) The island was filling up fast too. Ran without issue although the simulation slows from top speed to the next one down. Few times towards the end it seemed to take a little while before it registered that the wave was over and the defence build menu came back up.

Overall great...however what do i do now! Looks like i have no excuse but to re-tile the bathroom floor :(

Tried to uninstall and clean install the game and here what I got when I launch the game : https://paste.pics/DRU4R
That game is getting weirder each time I try it :)

Are you who was on Discord earlier, or do you still need help getting the game running?
