    Hi, thanks for pointing that out. We've just added the MFI to our To-do list but I can't guarantee that the support will be available at launch ! But we will work on it asap :)

    So, any news on the big update? I did wait patiently for quite some time, but have a bad feeling by now ...

    Hey!

    We're very late on schedule due to some money issues and we are deeply sorry about that...small studio so it's sometimes complicated, we had to do some side projects, and it slowed down all our plannings.

    We are currently working and playtesting the final boss and there are still a lot of bugs but be assured that the update will come. We are updating The Firm since 2014, so we won't give up on Towaga.

    Best,
    Gabriel & The Sunnyside Team

    Thanks for the fast and informative answer. Gotta wait patiently a little bit longer I guess. No worries though, plase take your time.

    Hyper embarrassing that this game escaped my radar until going free. My sincerest apologies to the developer for creating this little nugget of deliciously animated perimeter shooter bliss devoid of multiple currencies and in-app purchases without being properly compensated. All future projects of your doing will be purchased day one from yours truly. That is a promise.

    The game is perfect as is, but the fact that you’re planning a future update to make it even better is simply beyond tantalizing. Great work.

    A new update is out. But it doesn't look like the big one we are all waiting for. Is there still hope?

    Hi,

    Great news finally, after struggling a lot we found a solution.
    We will break down the content into several updates, the first one is on the way. (Coming in the following weeks)
    This first part will include: Refactoring of all graphics (Temples, Animations, Monsters, Main character...)

    So, be sure to stay tuned! :D
    Cheers,
    Gabriel

    Thanks for inviting me, I'm following this thread since the release of the game. ( btw, I'm a dev from Geneva... Bonjour l'équipe! :D)

    My feedback, I'll keep it short: it's a whole new game pal, you basically made Towaga 2. :cool:
    Everything is new, feels sooooo different. Don't get me wrong, it's neat and totally lite but I also kinda love the old one, and I'm wondering if it will be possible to keep Towaga 1?

    If not, personally I would prefer if you guys kept Towaga 1 as it is (just maybe fix some issues), and release this update as Towaga 2...

    Thanks!

    That's basically what I suggested Gabson when I saw him join TouchArcade's Discord channel. It seems making/releasing it as a new game is harder than just adding content and submitting it as an update. Also, he pointed out that in its current form, Towaga feels "incomplete" for them and they plan to finish it first and then move to start working on a different project. And as a final note, it seems Apple is kinda doing their job right and featuring relevant updates so this might be an opportunity for the team to get another chance to catch customers' attention.

    I personally haven't played it much so, unless they change a lot even in the first levels, I won't notice a thing. I'll keep a backup installer file of the current version anyway in case I feel I like the old style before moving to the updated version.

    To be hones, I'm already looking forward to getting the update, too... people seem to be enjoying the new content.

    =)

    How’s it like a new game ? Levels or controls ?

    Agree with Khoshmaze, It looks and feels so different that I wouldn't call it an update.

    To me the new power changes radically the gameplay (which is kinda disturbing as I used to mash the lower-left corner when surrounded with enemies haha) but it's a welcome twist. The wave system is also more dynamic and suspenseful (and thank god for the checkpoints, as a "toilet player" I don't want to get stuck in there for to long :D ).

    So yeah, makes more sense to make it a sequel (because as much as I like the new version the original game holds a special place in my IOS' gamer heart ;) ) keep up the good work!
