- Added more Team Deathmatch levels to the existing Versus towers. Every tower now has 6 Team levels. Most are modified versions of free-for-all maps, but Sunken City got a brand new level which is also playable in other modes
- Added the “Session Stats” page to the Archives, which shows stats from the current play session and resets when the game is closed
Balance:
- Merged FFA and 1v1 Tournament Rules into one ruleset simply called Tournament Rules. This ruleset contains only No Autobalance and Symmetrical Treasure
- Slowed down the final “push” of the miasma as it closes in to encourage more kills before it consumes all the archers, and to make center-stage a more advantageous position
- Sudden Death variant now starts with miasma 1 second into the match instead of 5 seconds
- Rebalanced a lot of Versus arenas in the original levelsets
- Jumping on a teammate’s head now shares arrows the same as bumping into them from the side
- You can now hold the dodge button to extend your dodge time by 5 frames. This is known as “dodge stalling”

- Arrows are no longer destroyed when crushed by moving solids
- Arrow inventories are now visible during the round intro
- Treasure changes:
- Decreased the chance of no treasure spawning
- The chance of getting special arrows out of a treasure chest is now normalized. In most towers, there is a 60% chance each chest has a special arrow pickup, chosen from the possible types for that level
- No more than one of each orb pickup can spawn per level now. If the Chaos Orb spawns, no other orbs will spawn
- The amount of each upgrade powerup (Wings, Looking Glass, Speed Boots) that can spawn per round is now capped by the amount of archers
- Added a particle effect for hyper jumping to make it more readable
- Archers will now slip off ledges while ducking, if they’re on the ledge by 3 or less pixels. Slipping starts 4 frames after you start ducking
- You can now shoot the falling orbs in Twilight Spire to destroy them as they fall
- Max Treasure variant now caps the amount of chests spawned per level to the amount of players + 2
- Return as Ghosts variant improvements:
- The delay from the last kill to the end of the round is doubled when there are ghosts alive
- Ghosts can no longer kill for 30 frames after they finish spawning
- Players can now control their ghost a bit during the spawn animation
- The shoot button now triggers the ghost’s dash attack (was previously just the dodge button)
- Ghosts can now open treasure chests. Chests will always spawn bomb traps when opened this way
- Added some controller rumble cues to ghosts to remind players they’ve respawned
- Ghosts are now drawn above other gameplay elements so they’re easier to spot
- Electric shocks now destroy brambles
- You can now use dodge slides to pick up hats
- Spinning spikeballs now pick a random spin direction when the level starts
Quest Mode Changes:
- Players are now revived at their corpses, like in the new Dark World co-op mode
- Level completion time is now tracked on Hardcore mode
- Removed the old score system
- The ‘Level Complete’ screen now awards the crown to the player who performs better (based on kills, deaths, and combo). That player wears the crown in the next level

- Ghost enemies can no longer hurt you while they’re stunned
- Added super jump pads to Twilight Spire
- Cultist enemies can now hop up one-tile-high ledges
- Red crystal enemies now only shoot one arrow at a time (blue ones still shoot twice)
- The final boss’s beam attack now lights players on fire

[ 2015-05-12 22:20:49 CET ] [ Original post ] TowerFall Ascension is the definitive version of the hit archery combat game. Inspired by classics from the golden age of couch multiplayer, it's a 4-player local party game centering around hilarious, intense versus matches. The core mechanics are simple and accessible, but hard to master and combat is fierce. Loot treasure chests for game-changing power-ups, master the art of catching arrows out of the air, or descend on your foes and stomp them into submission. TowerFall is best played competitively with friends, cross-legged on the floor within punching distance of each other.
New in Ascension is the 1- or 2-player co-op Quest mode. Players work together, fighting off a variety of monsters and enemy archers across the land of TowerFall. It's a new adventure to explore when you don't have more friends handy to square off against.
New features in TowerFall Ascension include:
- Brand new 1- or 2-player co-op Quest mode
- 50 additional Versus arenas, for a total of 120 unique maps
- More game-changing power-ups, such as Drill Arrows that burrow through walls
- 4 new unlockable, playable archers, for a total of 8
- A huge list of variants to customize your matches - a total of 75 ways to mix things up
- Plenty of hidden secrets and surprises to discover with your friends
