Hello Topplers!

Thank you all so much for all the love and feedback you have given us on the game! We are very grateful for all of you who have jumped on the beta tests, and the feedback from reported bugs and gameplay suggestions on our discord server have been fantastic! It's been amazing communicating with you all as we work hard on updating this game and bringing more fixes, additions, and content!

The version number of the new update is 1.2.0.5, if you still see 1.1.4.7 in the main menu and Steam isn’t updating the game for you, the quickest way to get the update is to restart your Steam. If you are still on the old version you will not be able to see games from the new version, so make sure you download the update!

Tired of only one player being the Huge Toppler per game? This new gamemode is here to switch things up! In Topple Takeover, when a Little Toppler reaches the end of the level, they become the Huge Toppler! It's a battle between all players to see who can stay as the Huge Toppler for the longest amount of time!


We ripped out some code and put some new code in! For the rest of this game's life, your in-game skins are now items that you can see in your Steam Inventory! (And show off on your steam profile)

This allows us to introduce The Daily Reward.

After playing a round of Topple Tactics, you can redeem your daily reward in the main menu, and Steam will gift you one of the new 130 skins added to the game! Each skin has a rarity based on how complex the skin's design is. Common skins are flat colors, Uncommon and Rare skins provide multi-color patterns, and Epic or Legendary skins will have either unique 3D models or unique shaders.

The Daily Reward will never give out skins earned through achievements or challenges. It also will never give out limited-time unlockables, like last year's holiday secret. If you get a skin you don't like (like a duplicate) you can trade them with other steam users, or put them up for sale on the steam marketplace!

This new system also allows us to solve a longstanding request: Skins unlocked through challenges no longer have to ALWAYS to be attached to achievements! We know a lot of players didn't get to unlock the secret skin available during the holiday season. With this new system, we can still have limited-time cosmetics exist without locking players out from having 100% achievement completion.

(We will not yet be removing the secret achievement until we are certain that the secret holiday skin has successfully migrated into the inventories of all the players who unlocked it. Just make sure to boot up the update, and check your steam inventory after you close the game. If you have all of your unlocked skins in your inventory, then you will not lose them in the future.)

Now that the steam inventory is established, we can work on adding new fun ways to unlock skins! Stay tuned as we introduce more challenge-based unlockables in future updates!


Topple Takeover Gamemode

• When the huge player is chosen in the lobby, everyone will load in and receive a set amount of topple tokens to buy upgrades.
  
• There will be a 20 second buying period during which the Huge Toppler buys all of their towers, and all the mini topplers buy all of their upgrades
  
• At the end of this buying period, the map opens up. The first mini toppler to reach the end becomes the new mega toppler!
  
• Every round, topplers receive more and more tokens, allowing you to try more and more elaborate strategies.
