Hi! It’s time for a mod update! There are four new card mods for you guys to try out. - Wildcard Hearts. This mod will merge with any other suit of the appropriate level, but has reduced attack power to compensate. - Gambit Diamonds. Receives an attack power boost on odd cards and an attack speed boost on even cards. - Toxin Clubs. Poison your enemies! - Sabotage Spades. Whenever it’s merged, this mod will sabotage your opponents cards and drop a random one by a level. In coop it will instead boost your allies card by one level. Mod buffs: - Ricochet mod now does one more bounce. - Execute had its auto kill health range increased by 67% - Gambler now does considerably more damage during its weak hits. Mod nerfs: - Investment mod max income dropped from 5 to 3 - Greed multiplier dropped by 40% - Unity mod adjacent buff dropped by 20% - Mines damage dropped by 20% - Boost mod damage boost dropped by 20% - Spread mod damage dropped by 17% Let me know what you think. Next update will focus on AI and difficulty balance. Thanks!

Hi everyone! In today’s update I’ve added a slot machine to the main menu. If you need a break from the main game, head on over to try your luck at winning some money. You can even win mods for your cards! Next I’m going to work on balancing the game difficulty and adding even more card mods. Enjoy and let me know what you think!

Hey everyone! It's the boss update! I've added several different behaviours for mini-bosses and bosses that should help keep the game interesting. At the beginning of each round and after every boss, a new random boss type will be selected for the next. The boss types are as follows: - Speed: starts a little slower and speeds up over time, so try to get rid of it fast! - Snake: has a body of chip segments trailing behind it that you will also need to defeat. - Scramble: will periodically scramble your cards, changing both suit and value. - Lock: will lock your cards one at a time, not allowing them to shoot or be merged with until the boss is defeated or escapes. - Immunity: will cycle through immunity to different suits. There may be a few bugs hidden away in there, so please let me know. I've also: - add some scaling feedback to the draw button - squashed a couple of game reset bugs caused by JS exceptions I will keep working away at this, thank you everyone!

Hey everyone! Sorry for the speed of the updates, things have been a little slower with the recent changes. In this update: - added a new particle effect for round end along with removing all the poker chips so the action stops - fixed the bug where card slots could be overwritten and become dead if you pressed draw too quickly (oops) - Add mini bosses to PvP rounds as well - Slightly reduced the rate at which draw cost increases - updated the tutorial to reflect the new draw 5 start to the round - Updated bullet graphics and reduced bullet speed Lots more coming!

I made a few more changes today that I think deserve a little release in their own. In this update: - the player receives a free hand of 5 cards at the start of the round. After that cards can be bought one at a time. Beginning price raised slightly to compensate. - added new enhanced card animations for player and AI. Do people like collecting card backs? - Deal button changed to draw button.

Afternoon! This update brings the following changes: - AI difficulty increased a bit - Coop mode added. Player and AI work together to see how far they can get with rewards based on the wave reached. - Richochet mod fixed - Unity mod fixed. Both should now return the correct damage. - Damage numbers added. - Damage multiplier shown during level up. - Custom text outline method added for floating text for better visibility as text2 stroke is unreliable at best - now when purchasing a random mod you guaranteed to get a suit you don’t own before being completely randomized. Enjoy!

Hi! Double Down Defense is my entry for the Tower Defense remix contest. This game combines poker with the PvP Defense sub-genre of Tower Defense. In the game you spend chips to deal cards, merge them to level up and try to make the two best poker hands possible to empower your cards. I’ve also added a dozen different ‘suit mods’ to personalize your deck and provide different bonuses in game from amplified damage, economy bonuses, DoT, slow, freeze, burn, execute and more. Try defeating waves of poker chip invaders with a powerful boss at every 10th wave, all while racing a progressively harder AI to see who can survive the longest. As usual I couldn’t decide which direction I wanted to go in and actually scrapped this game once during the contest, eventually I ended up slowly picking at after the kids went to bed while on our summer vacation. It’s a little rough still and I’d like to add more before calling the game “Done”, but I think it’s in a playable state and hopefully you all agree! Planned updates include more card mods, finishing the co-op game mode, more sound effects and general polish. The game has a lot more balancing to do, so I’m glad there isn’t another contest for a bit. I’m open to suggestions on gameplay or if anyone has ideas of things they’d like to see in the game shop. Thanks, enjoy!
