Release notes

Behind-the-scenes fixes and improvements.

Behind-the-scenes fixes and improvements.

New

• The Pocket TD demo is now on Steam as its own app. Its saves share Steam Cloud with the full game, so your progress carries over when you buy it.

New

• Play in your language. Pocket TD now speaks German, French, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Russian and Korean. Pick one from the language menu and we remember your choice.

Improved

• Towers and enemies have proper names in every language, and numbers and plurals read the way you would expect.
• Japanese and Chinese text now uses the right character shapes for each language.

Fixed

• Long ability titles now shrink to fit instead of being cut off, and the wave preview fits on screen in every language.
• The main menu's next-unlock line names the tower in your language.
• Perk tags show translated words, and the curse tag keeps its colour.
• The Almanac's Crit Lance numbers now match the actual balance.

New

• Steam leaderboards are now on for everyone. The Daily, Weekly and Endless boards (a separate Endless board for each difficulty) are live on Steam, and the Watch button on a row lets you play that run back as a spectator. They show up while Steam is running.

New

• Global leaderboards for Daily, Weekly and Endless runs, on Steam and in Game Center on iPhone and iPad. Endless has a separate board for each difficulty.
• Watch other players' runs. Press Watch on a leaderboard row to play that run back in the game as a spectator. Watch is offered only where the run's replay was saved. A run from another version of the game may not play back the same, and the game tells you when that happens.

Improved

• More of your lifetime numbers now show on your Steam profile: time played, gold earned, enemies leaked, bosses killed, best chain and daily runs.

Behind-the-scenes fixes and improvements.

Fixed

• This update gets the iPhone and iPad version and the signed Mac build out the door. There are no changes to the game itself.

New

• Free version on iPhone and iPad. Tutorial and Expedition are free, with the starter towers. A one-time in-app purchase unlocks every other mode and tower.
• iCloud sync on iPhone and iPad. Your profile follows you between devices. If two devices have both been played, we ask which progress to keep, and the prompt starts on "Decide later" so a stray tap never overwrites anything.
• Game Center achievements on iPhone and iPad.

Improved

• Every achievement now has its own icon, framed by how many points it is worth.
• On iPhone and iPad, the game turns to either landscape side.
• The Trials description now counts all of the Trials.

Fixed

• A run that ends in its first few seconds no longer hangs when you quit.

Welcome to the first release of Pocket TD, an isometric tower defense where you build a growing map, pick your perks and hold the line against bosses.

New

• Expedition mode: a map that grows as you play, with branching paths, perk cards every few waves, and a bonus pick after each boss.
• Towers and upgrades: a roster of towers with branching upgrades, powerful capstone abilities, and a global strike you can call down when things go wrong.
• Bosses, biomes and hazards: every biome has its own look, hazard and boss, with intro cards and an Almanac to learn what you are facing.
• More ways to play: endless runs, a daily seed, challenge modifiers, trials with named rules, and achievements to chase.
• Play your way: controller support, Steam Deck and iPhone layouts, rebindable keys, adjustable text size and a What's new screen.
