Today marks the 12th content update we've brought to the game ever since we launched into Early Access about two months ago, with this update being the biggest one so far! Take a look: [previewyoutube=M5ej-QOpsjo;full][/previewyoutube] In addition to this huge update, we are putting the game on a 20% sale discount for two weeks! So if you've had the game on your wishlist and been waiting for a sale, now's your chance. Let's dig a bit deeper into what's new!

A New Theme Has Been Added Into The Mix

Gustwind Palace soars high atop the sky. Make use of it's beautiful parallax sky backgrounds and luscious greenery to decorate your dungeon.

Get Some Tailwind With Turbines

Turbines suck and blow away objects! They come in four flavors:

• Exhaust Turbine: blows away objects
• Intake Turbine: sucks in objects
• Red Turbine: controlled with Color Switch, exhaust by default
• Blue Turbine controlled with Color Switch, intake by default

Their strong winds penetrate certain objects like fences too! Additionally, they affect airborne objects too, in contrast to conveyor belts.

Get Blown Away By Gusts Of Wind

The new Gust Of Wind projectile entraps objects it touches and takes them with it until it hits a wall and vanishes!

Create Updrafts With Whirlwinds

Whirlwinds shoot objects up high into the sky. You can even reach the higher elevation when the whirlwind is placed in lower elevation this way!

Blow Your Foes Away With The Tornado Rod

The new Tornado Rod, a variant of the Fire Rod, creates a powerful Tornado that works similar to the Whirlwind, only that it is temporary! And yes, even Shadows can use it...

Accelerate Using Hermes Boots

The Hermes Boots are the next exciting thing! They allow you to run at super-speed, becoming the fastest way to travel by foot now! Of course, you can chain them together with Whirlwinds, Tornados and other momentum based objects, like Springs!

Slide

You can also run up Slides with the Hermes Boots! Otherwise, you'll just slide down, including any other objects, even pushable ones and minecarts!

Sift Through The Mud

Only running with the Hermes Boots allows you to cross the new Mud tile! Anything else will drown in it, similar to Water and Lava.

Sail Away With The Sailcloth

Up, Up And Away With The Balloon

The Balloon is a new modifier, just like Wings are! They make the object you attach it to fly, but if they are hit by an attack, the Balloon pops and makes the object fall towards the ground.

Climb Up With Ladders

Many people have wished for stairwells that you can place on regular ground, so here we go! These ladders integrate neatly in your dungeon and allow you to get to the floor above or below anywhere.

Decorate Your Dungeon With Windows

The Window is the first decorational part we are adding to the game. Many more to come!

Bushes And Skulls Are Brought To All Themes

Many of you have requested being able to use both skulls and bushes in all themes, and we listened! Note that they still behave the same mechanically, so there are no breaking changes, it's purely decorational.

Count On Number Signs

The new number signs from 1-8 hopefully will fit well into your sequence puzzles and other shenanigans! Another much requested feature.

What's Next?

New enemies and bosses have come a bit short, so we are focusing on adding new exciting ones in the next weeks. So look forward to that! In the meantime, we hope you will experiment with adding the new modifications, like the balloon, onto existing enemies and bosses! We hope you are excited about this update. We can't wait to see new dungeons made with these mechanics! See you next Friday! If you haven't yet, join our Discord!
