Anyone who has played Stream Defense long enough knows that frostmages have been causing balance issues since the game’s inception. You can hardly get a highscore anymore without stacking frostmages with aquamarines. There are a few reasons for this, and this change is an attempt at fixing the issue. The old system Before the change,…

A few weeks ago I made a YouTube video asking for your feedback on some of my plans for the game. You guys provided some great feedback, resulting in me scrapping most of the ideas I had for the game! I’ve diverted my attention elsewhere and wanted to give you an update: ALTARS Altars are…

Gem shards have been added! Background: Moving forward I’d like to add a lot of new uses for gold – mostly upgrades that last for single game.  However, I don’t want players to have to choose between upgrading their gems and buying fun toys. The Solution:  Gem shards are now awarded to all players after each boss…

I’ve optimized Clutch and Blitz Kills a bit: In the previous version: The system only took into account the last enemy killed.  If the last enemy was killed in the first 25% of the path it caused a Blitz Kill. If the last enemy was killed in the final 10% of the path it caused a…

All Highscores and Average scores have been reset. This typically happens around the first of each month Boss Changes The final (and smallest) Golems from the Rock Golem boss will no longer count as bosses in the following ways: Scouts will not get the extra bonus XP granted from Bosses.  (The new amount will be…

A bug with the Highpriest spell, Focus, has been fixed.  The bug made it so focus only worked for players who were already in the tower when the spell was cast. The Highpriest spell, Meditate, has been changed.  It now returns mana WHILE the orb is active (instead of after 10 waves). However, each Highpriest…

The trapper will no longer bug out when trying to move to a nearby full tower while placing a trap As a trapper, if you interrupt your trap placement by moving to a new tower, you will immediately place a trap upon entering the new tower. The trapper now has a custom !stats response which shows…

As some have noticed (and taken advantage of) the Ninja does not use power to teleport, allowing players to turn their power on and off to get lots of free teleports. That has been corrected! – The ninja’s teleport will now cost 4 power – To compensate the ninja’s damage has been increased from 55…
