Version 1.1.2

This patch addresses multiple issues reported via Steam, Discord and email. Experiments game mode

Resource spawners and colony base wont block any major paths on randomly generated levels. (thanks to Kezzbo, vervedan and Ernest)
Resource spawners for survival type missions are closer to the base now
Orange Centipede spawn chance is significantly lower for low risk experiments

(resource spawners location, 'before' and 'after') All existed experiments could have significant changes due to these improvements. The amount of enemies and spawn locations may vary, but the layout of each level will be the same. Please note that we are still working on Tower Editor balance issues. Thank you for all the feedback provided about this feature. Fixes

Crash Report: _this5.substate.closeDialog is not a function (thanks to Austinlb90)
Crash Report: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined at new Watcher (thanks to Jseah)
Crash Report: Cannot read property 'bringToTop' of undefined (kudos to Sam Quan)
Crash Report: Cannot read property 'a' of undefined (thanks toDr. Danger!and Austinlb90)

Gameplay

Stand to defend a distant human colony against the growing lifeform that devours everything in its wake. Build complex defenses from the simplest element possible – a single block, save few remaining settlements and clean the planetary surface from the corruption in this original tower-based RTS. Initially built for a Ludum Dare 38 game jam, it was completely redesigned, got a graphics update, tons of new content, but still works around a simple idea: build towers from blocks, contain the enemy, survive the night onslaught and strike back.

Key features

Unique approach to building process: Every tower is constructed from patterns of simple blocks. Build your defense grid piece by piece the way you like it, upgrade, combine, optimize space and resources to survive against the overwhelming odds.
An enemy unlike usual RTS adversaries: Growing, living entity designed to exploit every small weakness in your defense. The more space it takes from you, the more powerful it becomes.
Freedom of strategy and flexible defense perimeter: Go for quick low-tier tower rush or bunk with well-defended artillery posts, then collect your blocks and rebuild the defenses on the spot — just mind the free space and resources left.
Direct control over the builder: Or two? Dynamically switch between several battlefronts and dominate over the enemy.
Over 30 levels with variative gameplay and win objectives.
Random missions generator with an adjustable difficulty level and special rewards.
Custom towers editor where you can construct your own powerful weapon.
Remappable keyboard or gamepad controls. Please note that the game was not designed for mouse control.
