post-jam updates
the tower » Devlog
we’ve done a bunch of work since the jam submission; enjoy! if you played before, it should feel mostly the same. unless you managed to reach the top… the endgame has now been completely reworked.
depending on when you last played the tower your game might be autosaved, but you may want to restart anyway (press P to open the pause menu) because some characters have been added/changed in early floors
be sure to also check out tally’s thoughts about the tower
