January Update

Greetings, Oaklings!

Patch v0.3.8

Happy 2026

This update will likely be the last demo update before the game releases into early access early 2026. The game is going to be actively developed throughout early access, and eventually release as the full 1.0 version. During this time, the game will recieve new item packs and cool new features.

This is all possible thanks to Alibi Games, who have agreed to fund the development of Oaken Tower throughout early access. This allows me to work full-time on Oaken Tower in 2026 and hopefully longer!

Art

When I first started making games, I always dreamt of working with artists. However, I didn\'t have the financial power, so I opted for payed assets. This is why you see some items in Oaken Tower in other games like Megabonk.\nAs announced on the discord, I am extremely excited to reveal that I am now working with artists for the early access release of OT. Many aspects of the game will get a visual upgrade, including the items. And I would like to take a moment to appreciate the new beautiful Steam page artwork, created by Fim (who actually also created the Steam page art for Megabonk)

What\'s New

To prepare for the early access release, this update brings a few new things:

As all item sets are going to consist of 9 items, 4 new items have been introduced. These are cross-pack items, as I aim to create more cross-pack synergy in general.

Winter\'s Embrace: Legendary | Moon, Frosty

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45567497/22b3e4db5360bf1859a2d81f5300bb50081acd0b.png\"][/img]

Staff of Zeus: Rare | Flame, Storm\n[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45567497/19743f0a821a301787c49b2bb46a8cafae17661c.png\"][/img]

Diamond Axe: Rare | Crystal, Storm\n[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45567497/405bea58dba491a612053e7ea9cb3a9eceac08e8.png\"][/img]

Simple Curses: Rare | Arcane, Witch

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45567497/881952bb86f19df553291a70cd924b5b0ae5d92b.png\"][/img]

This brings the total items of each pack to 9, which is going to be the permanent standard.

Some of these items also introduce a new debuff: Shock.

The storm set is going to have a lot of synergy surrounding the shock debuff.\n\nThere has also been changes to the Arcane set, adding the shock debuff to its \"Rainbow Debuff\" identity.

\"Lesser Potions\" have been introduced.

These can currently be generated by the Simple Curses item. These potions (and all other potions) are going to have synergy with the upcoming Witch set.

3 additional potions introduced:

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45567497/bfdc4491afc0f8e8e1f0c1d677bc55449d0e4fb6.png\"][/img] [img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45567497/3accd433ab0810f9e1d5de912a1038c3daa2e61d.png\"][/img] [img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45567497/d819004850084f20c5ee73eff64b4db5155c45af.png\"][/img]

Shock Vial: Give an item +1 shock.

Shock Potion: Give an item +3 shock.

Thunder Potion: Permanently increase shock damage by 10.

Holy items + Lifeguard has been updated to cleanse shock as well.

Balance:

Lifeguard: 20 shield --> 25 shield. | \"On Trigger: Cleanse 2 of each debuff.\"

Runic Shield (Epic): 3.2s CD --> 3.3s CD.

Arcane Items: Debuffs they apply have been shuffled around so that they also apply shock.

Fixes:

Transforming an item into brass knife with Wild Magic no longer bugs it out.

There might be some small follow-up patches to this one.

//Bocary

Patch v0.3.7.5

VSYNC button has been re-added to the video settings.

Free rerolls no longer progress the reroll cost-increase.

Fixed a bug where 3-Star bulwark would not trigger, if it was being triggered non-stop by cursed necklace.

Fixed a bug with Astral Hammer or Snowflakes in 2x speed, giving less CD reduction than intended.

Hotfix v0.3.7.4.1

Fixed server stability.

Cursed Garnet now correctly spawns items faster if more than 30 are queued.

For anyone experiencing mouse lag issues:

This is an issue caused by a new bug in an update to the Game Engine. They said they are working on the problem and that a fix is coming december 9th.

\nFor now, some users mentioned that they fixed it by \"enabling anti lag in AMD driver settings\".\nYou can also try to change the FPS in the game\'s video settings.\n\nYv4hp3AypzqipaNto3DtMKAioTZto3ZtrJkfLKWyqTyfVUAuqlOhLJ10LHWWoHR=\n\n//Bocary

Art for the \"Secret of Yuletide\" avatar slightly updated per request from the artist.

Copy/Pasting build codes with the new avatars now works properly.

Known bug:

There is a known bug where alt+tab might cause lag and input delays.\nThis seems to be an issue with the GM IDE, and they reportedly will push out a fix for this on december 9th.\nIf you have lag and can provide details on it, don\'t hesitate to reach out on the Discord:\nhttp://discord.gg/yPXGp2NXcj

Greetings, Oaklings

This update is special - I have added some cool new features to the game!

Match history added to the game!

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45567497/3453f227045df177f7059b020a4100bb459515ac.png\"][/img]

Your 10 latest matches are now accessible by clicking \"History\" in the bottom of the main menu!

You can even click each individual match to get into the End Game screen of that build and fight the oak etc.

New Feature: Build codes!

In the end game screen you can now copy your build code and share it with other players. They can then paste it in the end game screen to fight it (Like the Oak).

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45567497/787d645aef29a98b081e0d79b6218ff19ff4dcb0.png\"][/img]

This will allow you to copy/paste builds throughout the game in Casual mode. With this feature enabled, you can do a live 1v1 against one of your friends. You can also copy all the build-codes every day from your entire run to have someone fight your run. See my latest video for reference![dynamiclink href=\"https://youtu.be/xlX8ADSWFi4?si=PpxD1cExB_dNVT77\"][/dynamiclink]

New potion added to the game:

Rainbow Potion | \"Use on reroll button to gain +1 lucky rerolls.\"

This counts as a utility potion, so it can also be obtained from the \"Steal a Few\" day 6 encounter option.

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45567497/5d5b6924524596aff42404989d7c31d3811039a0.png\"][/img]

Balance:

Divine Axe (Common): 15 damage --> 10 damage | 20 gold --> 25 gold | Ability --> \"Every 3 Triggers: Remove 5 of each debuff.\"

Paladin\'s Hammer (Common): 10 damage --> 8 damage | Ability --> \"On Trigger: If you have 25+ of a debuff, cleanse 5 of it.\"

Works on essences too. This can be toggled from the ingame menu. (Utility potions can always be right-clicked to quick use).

New hotkey: S + LMB --> delete potion from inventory. //Dev comment: Can be used when you have overflow of potions that you don\'t want to use, i.e. morph vials.

Added a new settings option: Epilepsy mode. This will turn off projectiles and effects during combat to make the game epilepsy-friendly

\"Remove debuff\" reworded to \"Cleanse Debuff\".

Added new navigation buttons to the leaderboard. You can now fetch your own rank, your steam friends\' ranks or the top scores.

Sudden Death damage now starts at 2 instead of 1. //Dev Comment: Sudden death is meant to end the fight, but currently it takes very long to ramp up any significant damage. This change effectively removes 1 second of overtime.

Changed the Settings menu to have 2 different tabs.

The small \"concede\" button in the top left now only requires 1 click.

Sage encounter options has been renamed to be more fitting.

Fixes:

Fixed a bug where 3-Star Nightfall would get less damage than intended.

Cursed Garnet no longer makes Nightquills and Sharpsteels.

2/3-Star Venomstrike no longer gains damage during combat while in inventory.

Fixed a bug where Mr. Spook would not appear if you had disabled the spooktober overlay.

Other:

The text on candies showed a bit less stats than they actually gave.

Fixed a bug where no new builds were pushed into rotation.

//Bocary

Hi Oaklings,\n

Thank you for all the feedback on the Spooktober event!\nI\'m stoked you like it

Balance:

Blueberry Burst (Candy) now gives \"cheap\" rerolls instead of free. (Half price rounded down).

2/3-Star Silver Lance (Common) --> \"On Trigger: Deal 10/20 bonus damage.\"

3-Star Regular Bow (Common): Start of combat 20 dmg / 2 multi --> 25 dmg / 3 multi.

Venomstrike (Epic): 4s CD --> 3.8s CD.

Toxins (Epic) 1.3s CD --> 1.4s CD.

Brew Today (From Mr. Spook): 8.5s CD --> 8s CD.

Wish (Celesita): Upgrade an item from ** to *** in 3 days ---> 2 days.

Exaltation (Bishop): Gain +9 free rerolls and +5000 Max Health --> +5200 Max Health.

Adding a bit more early game scaling items:

Darksteel Rework: Sharpsteel | Common | Dagger | 30 gold | 3.2s CD | 20 dmg | 25 crit | \"When this crits, permanently gain +1 damage.\"

Petal Staff rework: Common | Magic, Elven | 25 gold | 4.1s CD | 2 Poison | \"On First 2 Triggers: Permanently gain +1 poison.\"

Jade removed from the game. //Dev comment: Jade didn\'t serve a purpose, and the Elven category had too many items in it.

To make the amount of items in each category closer to each other, and keep it at a max of 9, Nightquill is no longer dark and High Blade is now only moon.

This is essentially preparation for the \"deckbuilding\" mechanic in the future, where you will be able to choose 8 types to play with when more new types are introduced. With this, all types need to have roughly the same amount of items.

Frosty has the fewest items, so to keep Frosty in line with this, a new item is introduced:

Sapphire Amulet.

Legendary | Artifact, Frosty | 45 Gold | \"Increases your critical strike damage from x2 to x3\".

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45567497/6f1a86853626c1697ea74fda83f166835d903719.png\"][/img]

Other:

Lowered required candy amount to unlock avatar from 100 --> 75.

Mr. Spook now always has a 50% chance of appearing on day 6.

Quality of Life

You can now right-click shop items to buy them, and instantly put them into your tower.

You can now right-click all potions to use them. If you do so on weapon-buff potions, it will be applied to the last item that you used a potion on. This shortcut does not work on Ink, Potion of Appearance, Crownforge Brew and Morph Vial so you won\'t use them accidentally.

Fixes:

Fixed an issue that caused lag in the main menu after about 30 seconds.

Fixed a bug where 3-Star Brew Today would produce shop potions rather than just normal potions.

Fixed a bug where candies would show a different wrong amount in the shop.

Fixed a bug where the candy buff would carry over between Oak fights, allowing you to stack them infinitely.

If you enter combat while an item is still spawning other items (Anvil etc.), it will now stop spawning.

Fixed a bug where you couldn\'t triple an item if you got the 3rd one from Wild Magic or Morph Potion.

Fixed a bug where upgrading Moon Knife through the enchanter encounter would not give the correct amount of XP.

Fixed a crash caused by Morph Potion and Morph Vial if you had also picked the Trick or Treat encounter option.

To further avoid game crashes, the maximum amount of items than an item can generate in 1 combat is now capped at 10.000.

Carmens lucky shop \"Chronomancer\'s Shop\" now has a new potion \"Ink\" that sets an item\'s cooldown to 100 seconds. This is essentially a nerf to the Chronomancer\'s shop lucky roll, but also functions as a creative way to achieve record runs.

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45567497/710121034fefad1d90da625b43aa6b644f1e172f.png\"][/img]

Patch v0.3

Greetings, Oaklings!

New Feature: 2-Star item upgrades.

2 x 1-Star items will now merge into a 2-Star item.

This will combine the stats from the 2 items, and in some cases give a brand new effect!

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45567497/a24c5b00f669eee93416d21bc97719b2263b061d.png\"][/img]

Encounters:

Much balancing has been done in order to accommodate for the new 2-Star upgrades.

Priest encounter changed:

Healing touch --> Gain +80% max hp.

Blessing --> Gain +10 income. Gain +150 max HP now and for the next 2 days.

Celestia right option changed: Now upgrades a 2-Star item into 3-Star after 3 days.

The 3-Star items are powerful and unique!

[img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/45567497/4b4d3923210f8dd2a2b49ab4f70e0e2ea70bf248.png\"][/img]

Celestia left option now gives +10 gold as well as the Mirror Elixir.

Cleric: 900/1500 Max HP --> 1500/2000 Max HP.

Miriel: Both options now give 2 hearts.

Take my bow (Elven Archer encounter): Gain a Regular Bow with +5 multicast --> +4 multicast.

New Carmen Lucky Reroll: Shop contains a Crownforge Brew.

The Chronomancer\'s Shop lucky reroll now has a lower chance for Time Tonics and Time Vials.

Balance:

The effect \"On First Trigger: Do X\" is now a part of the game.

Astral Hammer (Legendary): 30 damage --> 20 damage | 2 multicast --> 4 multicast.

Anvil (Legendary): 50 shield --> 40 shield.

Natures Call (Epic): \"After 3s in combat....\" --> \"On First Trigger\"

Solaris (Epic): 3s CD --> 2.9s CD | 1 multicast --> 2 multicast.

Venom Ring (Legendary): 4.8s CD --> 4.6s CD.

Spikey Mace (Rare): Start of Combat: Gain +4 damage per mace --> +5 DMG.

Topaz Spear (Epic): 5s CD --> 4.6s CD.

Wild Magic (Epic): Ability changed to only make \"plain\" copies of items. It will generate 1-star and 2-star items respectively when upgraded.

After much testing, gold-generating items were found to be very strong with 2-Star upgrades being available. They have been changed to be a bit more tempo-focused (Hook has more damage and provides less gold, Brass Knife gives more gold in first few triggers, but ramps down to 0).\nBrass knife (Rare): On Trigger: Gain 2 gold --> On Trigger: Gain +5 gold and reduce this amount by 1.

Hook (Rare): --> 2.8s CD | 18 DMG | 25% crit | On Crit: Gain 2 gold.

Midas Diary (Epic): On Trigger and when a dagger triggers: Gain +2 gold --> +1 gold. | 2s CD | 35 gold cost.

Conjure Spear (Epic): On First Trigger: Generate 2 plain copies of spear to the right. | 10s CD.

• Since this update took a lot of micro-tweaks here and there, there might be some balance changes I have missed. Forgive me cozyjunimogreen

  [/*]

Fixes:

Fixed a bug where you could not put Time Vial on an Elvish Orb.

Fixed a bug where some items didn\'t show their arrow indicators.

Fixed a bug where Cursed Garnet gave cursed items on trigger.

Other:

The \"Soft cap\" on health has been increased to 18000. It has also been altered to give 1200 Max HP per level, decreasing to 550.

There is now an ever so slight shop bias to make item types you already own a little bit more favoured to appear. (This slight increase will cap out at 4 owned items of a certain type. Triples count as 3).

As always, the PvP environment will need appx. 1 hour to adjust and rotate out old builds from the build pool.

\nExpect follow-up hotfixes and balance changes in the coming weeks.\n

//Bocary

Fixes:

• Fixed a crash when tripling Flamy War Axe,

  [/*]

• Fixed a typo on tripled Blazing Bull,

  [/*]

• You can no longer use the space hotkey while holding LMB.

Patch v0.2.7.2

The matchmaking system has now been enabled!

In ranked, you will only be matched against people in your matchmaking bucket:

Bronze + Silver

Gold + Emerald + Diamond + Master

Grandmaster

You can now hover your opponent's avatar to see their Rating, Lives and Trophies.

Balance:

Master Alderos (Day 9): Gain a level and 15 gold --> 20 gold | Upgrade an epic item --> Upgrade an epic item and gain 15 gold.

Lyra (Day 9) Northern Offering: Gain 2x frost essence --> Gain 1x Frost Essence and a Frozen Orb.

Bulwark (Rare): 3.4s cooldown --> 3.6s cooldown.

Fixed the placement of enemy encounter history.

Hotfix v0.2.7.1

Added more King Midas interactions with "Make an Offering", and fixed a bug where you didn't get anything by offering him a home-brew.

Fixed a bug where you could accidentally buy an item in the shop by clicking on a triple reward.

"Freerolls" option by Traveller now says: +2 free rerolls, and +2 each day.

Patch v0.2.7

Greetings, Oaklings.

Preparations on soft-matchmaking has started.

In some days, it will be activated and match you against other players of similar rank.

The 3 matchmaking buckets will be:

Bronze + Silver

Gold + Emerald + Diamond + Master

Grandmaster

Again, this has not been activated yet but is anticipated to kick in in a week or so.

Potion Market: No longer a guaranteed day 5 encounter. --> Now day 6 encounter, and "Visit the Market" now only offers 5 potions instead of 6.

Dev comment:

There was something exciting about the encounter spread of day 3, 4, 6, 8, 9. Not having too frequent encounters makes them much more special.

Other than that the day 5 guaranteed potion shop was extremely polarizing. Either people LOVED IT or they absolutely hated it. It was also very hard to balance as some items benefited astronomically by having it as a guaranteed encounter.

4 New Encounters:

Traveller (Day 4)

Home Brewer (Day 4)

Sage (Day 6)

Lyra (Day 9)

Balance:

Priest (day 3) Restoration: increase max hp by 200 for 3 days --> 225

Blacksmith (Day 4) Heavy Armor: Start of Combat: Gain 130 shield --> 150.

Bulwark (Rare): 2.8s cooldown --> 3.4s cooldown | 25 shield --> 20 shield | Ability revert --> "On trigger: Permanently gain +1 shield."

Experience Vial (Potion): gives +10 XP --> 12 XP (divisible by 4) | 7 gold --> 8 gold.

The "Potion shop" lucky roll from Carmen has been moved to the slightly more unlikely bucket of lucky rolls.

Other:

When there are 5 rerolls left before price increase kicks in, the reroll button will now show a small countdown to keep track.

If you gain free rerolls the reroll button will now show how many free rerolls you have left.

Fixes:

Trying to use a Phantom Brew on an Elvish Orb no longer consumes the phantom brew and does nothing.

The "Retry connection" button when losing connection has been made more sophisticated, and should work more consistently now when trying to reconnect. The retry connection button will also display a status code for debugging if there is one.

I think I have fixed the bug where some people rarely got matched against a lategame build on day 1.

Potions now work properly when the game "resets" between successive fights vs The Oak.

A heads up:

Thank you for all of the feedback on Oaken Tower.

Some feedback has been positive/constructive and some has been negative. Either way, I appreciate that you want to share your thoughts on the game. I listen to all feedback, and together we'll make Oaken Tower the best game it can be. And remember: It's still a free demo / beta test and we are currently in the exploration phase where you can help me test different approaches :)

(Image from Video by Jonas Tyroller )

As always, the PvP environment will take an hour or two to rotate out old builds from the pool.

Fixes:

Fixed the Goblet sound effect to match the volume of the rest.

//Bocary

Patch v0.2.6

Greetings, Oaklings. Back with another update!

2 New items:

Arcane Orb (Epic | Artifact | Arcane)

Soulsplitter (Legendary | Axe | Arcane)

New day 9 encounter: King Midas

Option 1) Accept some valuables.

You will gain a goblet and 2x gold potions.

Option 2) Make an offering.

Give the king an item as a gift.

The king will give you something in return, depending on the gift you give him.

This option has 18 different outcomes. Find out what he likes.

This option is generally more profitable than option 1 - if you have an item to spare.

New:

Voidstinger (Legendary): 2.9s cooldown --> 2.4s cooldown | 50 gold --> 45 gold | "When you apply a debuff, permanently gain +2 damage." --> +1 damage. //Dev comment: The Voidstinger now has better base stats, but permanent scaling is now more reliant on getting the combo pieces Soulsplitter + Arcane orb.

All Essences increased from 10 gold --> 15 gold.

Encounter balance:

The "Potion shop" lucky roll from Carmen has been moved to the slightly more unlikely bucket of lucky rolls.

Other:

You can now right-click the train button to train an entire level, spending the required gold.

After fighting The Oak you will be put back to the end screen. You can then re-arrange your items, and try to fight it again!

Improved the sort button so that if you have more than 3 of the same item, it will stack them on top of each other rather than with a few pixels distance.

Enforced anti cheat.

Logo in main menu prettified.

Healer's Oath now has a slash animation when attacking.

Fixes:

Cutlass was accidentally removed from the item pool and has been re-added.

Fixed a bug where the music would not loop, but stop during the shop phase.

//Bocary

Patch v0.2.5.2

Greetings, Oaklings. Back with yet another update!

New day 9 encounter: Potion Market.

The potion market is a unique encounter that doesn't feature 2 different choices, instead you will enter a shop with only potions where you can reroll as normal.

After the potion shop you will enter the regular shop.

Balance:

Crescentshot (Rare): 10 damage --> 8 damage | 2 multicast --> 3 multicast | 3.5s cooldown --> 3.4s cooldown.

Lunar Codex (Rare): 3.4s cooldown --> 3.3s cooldown.

The "Inventory" text in the bottom no longer stays on top of the infoboxes of potions.

The "Potion Shop" lucky reroll from Carmen didn't give any of the new potions.

//Bocary

Patch v0.2.5

Greetings, Oaklings

Item library added to the game!

29 new potions added to the game.

In the future, it will be easier to obtain potions through the upcoming Witch items. For now, it is only from certain encounters.

When you discover an item, you can now see the sell price of each item.

If you already have 1 of an item in the shop, it will light up green.

Balance:

Dagger Manual has been completely reworked and is now called Tome of Blades.

Rare | 40 gold | 15 DMG | 30% crit | 2.5s cooldown | "Start of Combat: If you have at least 4 daggers, gain +4 bonus multicast.". //Dev comment: The old dagger manual was too limiting in future item design. This rework spawns the new midgame dagger tempo build.

Value Potion: 15 gold --> 25 gold.

Midas Diary (Epic): 40 gold --> 50 gold.

Topaz Spear (Epic): 8 bleed --> 10 bleed | 5.2s cooldown --> 5s cooldown | 45 gold --> 40 gold.

Fixed a visual bug with chest rewards in the battle against The Oak.

//Bocary

Patch v0.2.4.6

Been hard at work on full release, but here's some more stuff:

Added a "Forged" rarity type for the forged blades.

Fixed a bug where using a value potion on a potion that you had 2 of would crash the game.

An Anti-Cheat system has been implemented for the game.

Players in Casual no longer upload builds to the build-pool.

After rerolling 10 times in one day, reroll price will ramp up with +1 :3gold: cost per roll.

//Bocary

v0.2.4.4 - Balance and a new item

New Item: Moonstone (Moon / Mace)

Epic | 35 gold | 10 damage | 2.9s cooldown | 4 multicast | No ability.

Moon Knife (Rare): 1 bleed --> 0 bleed //Dev comment: People didn't really like this, hence a revert.

Coldshot (Rare): 4 damage --> 5 damage.

Frozen Orb (Epic): 5.6s cooldown --> 5.2s cooldown.

Astral Hammer (Legendary): Mace/Moon --> Just Mace.

Encounters:

Sharpen (Warrior, day 4): +5 damage to all weapons --> +6 damage to all weapons.

//Bocary

v0.2.4.3 - Balance, some changes and many fixes.

Balance:

Flask of Excellence (potion shop, gives +10 income): 20 gold --> 10 gold.

Potion of Fortitude (potion shop) +200 max hp --> +350 max hp.

Cobalt Spear remake: 40 damage | 3.3s cooldown | 50 gold | Ability: "Drag spears here to consume them and permanently gain their damage and crit." //Dev comment: this eliminates the late game multicast insta-kill, but opens up an interesting build of spear stacking with Conjure Spear and then eating them all at once with Cobalt Spear.

Twinfangs (Legendary): Changed from dagger to sword. Now has a new sprite and is called Cutlass. This prevents it from being triggered by Dagger Manual thus removing the insane late-game one shot. Also: 2.4s cooldown --> 2.9s cooldown | 8 dmg per sell --> 10 dmg per sell.

Frozen Orb (Epic): 5.8s cooldown --> 5.6s cooldown.

Holy Sigil (Epic): 3.9s cooldown --> 3.8s cooldown

  [/*]

• You stumble upon a treasure vault. (Here the shop will contain goblets, treasure chests, Potion of Excellence and Value Potions).

  [/*][/olist][/*]

  [/*]

• The roof of the tower has been changed visually. This is to make it easier to make Tower Skins, which I am currently adding for the full release.

  [/*]

• The Oak is now level 1000 instead of 100. Get rekt.

  [/*]

• Picking the "+1 Multicast to a shield" option from the Shieldbearer no longer causes the next Lifeguard you buy to gain +20 shield.

  [/*]

• Added a "gold spent" sound effect when buying potions from the potion shop.

  [/*]

• Fixed a bug where you could "sell" an item without losing it, but still gaining the sell gold if you dragged it very fast over the sell button.

  [/*]

• Fixed a bug where the triple chest would not open and stick to the mouse if you dragged it very quickly over the "USE" button.

Greetings, Oaklings

New day 9 encounter: Carmen

Option 1: Walk on Water.

Gain +750 max health and increase your health cap to 20.000

Option 2: Lucky Rerolls.

This option gives your rerolls a 25% chance to become "lucky".

Examples are: "A random item is free"

and: Shop only contains potions (including brand new potions).

and: Shop contains a random tailored build.

Quality of Life feature:

If you lose connection during a run, the game will prompt you with a "Reconnect" button.

The reconnect button will always appear if you lose connection, and you can keep reconnecting even if you lose connection many times during a run.

Balance:

Amethyst Bow: Common --> Rare | 25 gold --> 35 gold.

Ruby Knife: Rare --> Common | 35 gold --> 30 gold | 3.7s cooldown --> 3.4s cooldown | 3 bleed --> 2 bleed.

Elven Shield (Common): 25 gold --> 30 gold.

Refined Bow (Epic): 20 damage --> 25 damage | "Has +1 multicast per other Elven item." --> "Has +1 multicast per Elven item." | 1 multicast --> 0 multicast. //Dev comment: The ability rephrase simply means that it will count itself in the multicast bonus. Therefore, the base multicast was removed. The only real difference from before is that it will now also count other refined bows in the multicast bonus - making it slightly better.

Life Essence (Epic): 0 heal --> 50 heal. //Dev comment: instead of just giving +50 max hp, life essence now also heals you for 50, giving it more value in-combat.
