Screenshot Saturday: 0.3.7 Preview #15!


Good morning!

Update 0.3.7-P1 released last week, and I've spent a good portion of this one catching up on my work and fixing the bugs in that. But I've spared some time for planning out 0.3.7-P2, which is focused around the Challenge Tower.

The Easy mode is available from the moment you step out of the Earth Cave, and the Hard mode (with stronger enemies, newer Tower Lords, and some older Tower Lords coming along with upgraded skillsets) will be available after the Skyward Sanctum is cleared. But there's one more unique challenge that will unlock after Brill gets access to Tier 3 recipes.

Here's the lobby for it!


They're opening up the Challenge Tower's basement! Climb down a very long flight of stairs (or go through the portal after your first time climbing down that very long flight of stairs, so you can skip it) and you'll find yourself in this lobby.

What sort of unique challenge can Brill face in the basement? Well, I'll leave that for another screenshot!

Heh. You gotta endure the stairs as a pre-challenge!

The basement's so much smaller than the Easy Mode lobby! Interesting! Probably not boss-refights, that's not really a challenge? That's also not unique.

Lol if it's not fighting but is instead puzzles.

There's no Point Redemption Station here, so rewards are different?

Boss refights would probably come later, after the Main Story. And I'd do it in a manner similar to the "Boss Endurance" mode in Kirby's Adventure/Nightmare in Dream Land that I could never beat when I was a kid. (I always choked at Meta Knight or Dedede.)

You still get the same Tower Points, and the rewards upstairs will update accordingly, but there also might be some unique rewards in this challenge depending on different "high scores" in the challenge. I'll have to think about it!

Cool! Kirby!!
