They are all just achievements, I decided to keep their names hidden when they are locked.

Making achievements feel unique

Been working on relics

No cooldown. Repositioning costs at least 10% of the tower’s original price (e.g. 50 gold → 5 gold). A meta upgrade can grant limited free reposition uses in exchange for meta currency.

It requires %10 of the gold you spent on the tower that you are moving.

Added tower repositioning
Feels nice so far

Started as a pretty normal setup, then evolving the towers one by one slowly turned it into chaos.

The sped-up sound effects make it weirdly satisfying.

Then it didn’t.

One of the tougher enemies from Hold the Core.

Looks crazy!

Prism Siege → Hold the Core

Dropped the hero, went full tower defense. Feels right.
