We just released the second major alpha version of Koshari Defense with a bunch of gameplay changes, new features, and improved graphics. Over the last 6 months, we focused on implementing tower upgrades and creating new environment sprites, but at the same time also worked on many other components. Here is a summary of the most important changes:

Gameplay:

• Towers can be upgraded up to 4 times, increasing their strength, speed, and range
• Tower levels are easy to distinguish, as every level has its own look
• You can tell towers to prioritize different targets, for example the closest enemy to the palace or the one with the most hp
• You no longer need to capture all the temples to reach the final wave. Instead, there is a fixed number of waves and temples provide you with additional resources at the end of each wave
• Many new environmental elements like bushes, trees, houses, and rocks.
  
• All existing levels have been reworked and three new ones have been introduced
• The enemy HP no longer scale with the wave number, instead, each enemy type has four distinct-looking versions, with different amounts of HP
• Enemies can now spawn closer together or further apart
• Turtle-man: A new tank enemy that seems to be half human, half turtle
• and many more...

UI:

• Stone and papyrus backgrounds for UI elements
• A new slider to adjust the speed between x1, x2 and x4
• In the top right screen corner, you will now find a status bar, which tells you the current wave number, the number of captured temples, and the health of the palace
• Sometimes you will find hints in the top right corner, that remind you about the current instructions while completing tutorials.
• A bigger font to increase the readability

We hope you enjoy the new features and levels and would be delighted to hear your feedback!
