Playtest Alpha 2 now available, including Linux and Mac versions!

Playtest Alpha 2 is now available for all playtesters! I finally managed to get the Linux and Mac versions running through Steam, so if you have access to either of those OSes and you're interested in helping out, fire up the game and let me know if you run into any major issues. Since those builds are newer, I'm expecting that issues will pop up. I'll keep an eye on the community forums and Discord, as always. If you aren't currently signed up for the playtest and would like to join, head over to the main store page and click "Request Access". Here are the updates for Playtest Alpha 2:

Linux and Mac builds now available for playtesting!
Added Sun Spirits
Added Sunbud species with Sun Spring home
Added new crystal metamorphoses: Piercing Crystal and Empowering Crystal
Added new shroom metamorphosis: Toadstool
Added new boons: Lifeblood, Natural Immunity, Natural Agility
Spirit elementals can no longer cross-mutate with each other (only with non-elemental species)
Non-mutated Spirit elementals can only spawn from their respective homes (Fire Spring, Frost Spring, etc.)
Previously every level had rivers, now some will not
Crawlers are slightly faster
Rivers no longer lead far away toward the edge of the map, away from main level areas
Jump and teleport abilities clear the player's previous target so they don't immediately start pathing back toward it when trying to escape
Unlockable growths can't be attacked and killed while the player is unlocking them
Logo/header redesign
Several bug fixes and stability improvements
Special thanks to ghostlyhydra456 for finding and reporting many bugs in Alpha 1. Check out ghostlyhydra's YouTube channel!

Chrysalis is a hybrid tower-defense/survival RPG set in a world of natural mythology, with an emphasis on procedural generation, customizability, and replayability. Play the role of an incorporeal Wisp tasked with defending a magical chrysalis against forces of corruption and darkness. Search for resources and enlist the aid of friendly plants and animals as you explore each randomly generated level. Fend off waves of monsters, with each level offering new challenges, specialized wave types, procedurally generated bosses, and more.

Key Features:

Symbiosis: take control of any friendly plant or animal in the game.
Metamorphosis: level up your creatures and plants, transform them into more powerful versions, and apply elemental Spirits for further customization.
Mutation: a complex mutation system combines different species to create new creatures with unique sets of abilities and metamorphoses.
Customization: at the beginning of each playthrough, you choose a Chrysalis that caters to a specific style of play, with unlockable abilities that increase your power as you progress. By defeating waves of monsters, you will earn Boons which grant additional passive or active abilities, offering further ways to enhance your controlled creatures.
Modability: add new creature and plant species, abilities, art, and more by simply editing text files and dropping your images into the appropriate folder. Specific instructions and documentation will be forthcoming.
