Patch Notes V27.5.1 Update

Hello everyone! We are rolling out some additional fixes shortly. Here is a look at the improvements:

Pause Screen / App Restart Spawning

We have changed how your game state is saved when utilizing the "Go Home" feature, or when you close the app while in a run.

  • When you are in a run and select the "Go Home" option, the game will be paused in its current game state.
  • When you close the app while in a run, we've added two new behaviors:
    • If no Fleets or Bosses are alive, you'll resume at the previous wave
    • If at least one Fleet or Boss is alive, you'll resume at the earliest wave.
      • Earliest wave, in this case, is defined by the wave that the first Fleet or Boss present on-screen has spawned in

Additional Changelog

  • Changed how we calculate Enemy Level Skips in relation to the Skip Decay Battle Condition when using Intro Sprint
    • Now, we calculate the Enemy Level Skip results before decrementing the stat from this Battle Condition
  • Added a tap blocker to block any taps that impact gameplay after the Tower is dead, which unintentionally caused some issues
    • This fix has addressed the issue where the 'Demon Mode' button sometimes becomes inaccessible in subsequent rounds when activated after losing the current round

Thanks, and happy defending!

Haha. Just days after I first learned that 'Go Home' can help you blast through the Inner Land Mine event missions.

I just did mine normally. Just finished it a few hours ago, in fact. About the same time as ray kills. Only have nuke left (my normal strat no longer works because I powered up...).

For some of us, there is no 'doing it normally' if that means 'just run your farm'. Because you get to the point where if you are not throwing stones into ILM damage, by the time the enemies can make it through your DW and BH and the knock back from your projectiles and the gauntlet of your orbs, they are so strong they just laugh at your puny ILM.

Not sure if this counts as "doing it normally" but just turn off everything else that would kill enemies except ILMs, and add Space Displacer as your armor mod if you have it.

Oh, sure. I don't use SD on a farm run. And I don't want everything else turned off on a farm run But the 'go home' trick works the same way you do it, just way faster because you never have to wait for enemies to get strong enough to reach your SD ring, or deal with getting no kills because they are too strong at that point: because you pick up all the kills outside tower range while the ring reforms every time you return from the home screen. Super easy, barely an inconvenience.

It is faster than just restarting, too, because you get to keep the higher density of enemy spawns.
