Leaderboard Patch (1.4.3)

Hey everyone! I just made a patch to Torecower meant to fix our weekly leaderboard that wasn't filling new people in.
I'd like to also thank you everyone who played the game so far. In special: "Yo", "Toeazy" and "theeviru", who were the all-time top three (removing the obsviously cheaters ). You're real ones! That said, there's another thing bothering me, which is: the leaderboard is now weekly, but after a week if your next scores are lesser than your previously stored in the game's database, you wouldn't appear in the current highscore. This still needs an actual fix, but in the meantime, I've just reset everyone's scores.* *Don't worry, though. I have a backup of all of it, if you're curious just ask on our Discord Server. Thanks for reading - Cuca

QoL Updates and Bug Fixes (1.0.5)

Hey there! Thanks for playing Torecower, we really appreciate all the feedback. Feel free to give your thoughts on our Discord. We're happy and working hard on the game, planning a lot of updates and DEFINITELY reworking some code. Here is a list of some changes you may expect in this update.

New Features


  • Frost Upgrades - Frost didn't have any upgrades and felt so weak, so we buffed it and made 9 new upgrades!
  • Better UI - Some words have been replaced by icons, eg: "damage" has been replaced by a little sword icon.
  • Money, money and money! - The coin drop chance has been increased, which makes the early game easier (45% -> 50%).

Bug Fixes


  • Achievements - We've received a lot of reports about achievements not being triggered, we're really sorry about that. Fixed!
  • Shop - Some screen sizes made possible to buy two towers at the same time, which IS NOT intended. Fixed by adding a new overlay.
Thanks for reading, have a great day!
