Hello everyone! "4 Rush Together" is now officially released on Steam! We sincerely thank you all for your support and recognition over time! The official version of "4 Rush Together" will feature 12 unique levels with a total of 48 smaller stages. Each level is packed with hilarious and creative designs that will have you and your friends laughing until your stomachs hurt.

In the official version, in addition to the cooperative mode with ropes, we also offer a relatively simple racing mode without rope connections. What’s even more surprising is that every level and every game mode in the game has its own leaderboard, waiting for you and your friends to challenge and conquer, becoming the fastest team to finish the game!

Please note, "4 Rush Together" is a multiplayer cooperative game. If you play alone, you’ll miss out on a lot of fun, so be sure to invite your good friends to join in on the game. The more the merrier!

To celebrate the official release of "4 Rush Together" and to welcome the Chinese Lunar New Year of the Snake, we’ve added a special Snake Year skin to the game. We hope you like it!



Wishing everyone a prosperous and successful new year, with happiness and good health for the whole family!

If you encounter any game issues, find any bugs, or have anything you’d like to tell us, please send an email to: support@hlzvr.com.

Thank you to everyone who has made a purchase! Finally, you can now make your own original burger! Place any toppings on the bottom bun to complete the burger. The delivery function will be added in an update later this month! Also, the cardboard that flew away has been fixed, and you can now hold it by aligning your viewpoint and clicking the T key! We have also added a volume setting, so if you were unable to adjust the volume and closed the game, please try setting the volume from the settings! You can check the recipe on the monitor on the right side of the kitchen!

We want you to help test an upcoming update! On January 11th, a public test branch will be unlocked and an update will be available to test on that branch.

We're back from our holiday break and excited to show today's developer log!




Birb's got it all: the power to stun dragons, an all-you-can-eat arcade game, a statue, the adoration of the people, and, now, a plushie! Bring home Birb and feel great safety if a dragon ever decides to try and start something. Birb has it handled. You just provide the birdseed. (And hugs.)

The campaign will be up for a limited time (21 days), so check out the store page to see how it all works and get one for yourself! These limited time plushies go directly towards supporting our developers and the development of Tower Unite!

We hope you enjoy the Birb plushie! Any support you give us means so much, and we hope to keep bringing you more fun in the future!

Nuclearxpotato worked on a bunch of new items. He worked on Gardening Tools and Lamps. He also made an art pass on the Fireplace items.


Items: Shovel, Pitchfork, Rake, Metal Bucket, Watering Can, Wheelbarrow




Items: Brass Wall Lamp, Brass Table Lamp, Brass Floor Lamp, Ceramic Table Lamp, Fireplace Mantle, Classic Desk Lamp

The Brass and Ceramic lamp items all have adjustable lampshades with two shapes, sharing the fabric patterns from the Curtain items.








Joshua continued working the new Player Models.






Johanna continued working on optimizations for the Plaza.

macdguy experimented with splitting up the .pak file, potentially allowing for quicker patching and smaller download sizes. The downside observed is the game takes up space on disk.

Sketchman continued working on optimizations and bug fixes.

Wheezwer worked on getting the Birb Makeship campaign underway.

Thank you for reading and we’ll see you all next week for more!

Introducing our new Mythic Succubus Demonica from the Sanctuary of Sin! If you're not in pure ecstasy, she will have you begging for mercy! Drop rates increased for this new Mythic succubus, only from Jan 7th to the 9th.

Demo_v0.0.1.003 Update/Hot Fix Details:

Hello Survivors,

A few minor hot fixes:

• Fixed goblin bomb damage from triggering early before animation or indicator.
  
• Added version water-stamp to the top right
  
• Slightly decreased early EXP gain but increased later EXP gain to reduce game-play interruptions from frequent level up canvas pop ups. Will continue to monitor the feel for this.
  
• Fixed an issue that was freezing gameplay when all available abilities were maxed and then level up was not triggering reward pool at early progression levels.
  

I had to pause localization development to implement the hot fixes above so there is partial localization implemented in the game with a few texts. The rest will be implemented soon barring any major hold ups.

Please install the latest update for these changes to take effect.

Thank you all for providing feedback to make the game better. Keep it coming!

Hello, Force of Elements community!

After a long hiatus, we’ve got some news to share about the future of Force of Elements.
The former Force of Elements team has passed the torch to Wicked Fox Games, who have an incredible passion for the game. And so, Force of Elements is evolving into something even more epic. Reimagined and rebuilt from the ground up with a new name: Rise of Elements!



With a fresh team focused on appealing to a modern audience, Wicked Fox is ready to take Rise of Elements to new heights. You can expect enhanced game mechanics, a fresh new art direction, and an even deeper lore to discover. Don’t worry, all your favorite champions will still be in the arena!
Force of Elements was announced nearly ten years ago, and its development was an incredible journey filled with a plethora of learning experiences. FoE would not have been what it was without all of you, and we’re so grateful to everyone who played, so please contact us at http://oldfoe@wickedfoxgames.com to get a special invitation and code for exclusive goodies as a reward for all your past support.

All Force of Elements sites will close as of January 13th. To learn more about Wicked Fox Games, check out our website. You can also join our community Discord server for access to exclusive community events and playtests! All links are in the comments.
