That's cool that they've been responsive. Will probably buy as soon as this rolls out.
I finished all the levels (I said "Fuck the rainbows" very quickly though), and I liked it a lot. My two gripes with it:
- Only a handful of maps are fully utilized. Most of them have the majority of the terrain being ignored. The tropical world is the best because there's even a bit of platforming. That's when the game really shines.
- Once you've seen all the levels, there's no real incentive to keep playing. A Challenge mode or something would have done the trick. Right now, I adored my time with it, but playing 15-min levels over and over and over again to hopefully get a rainbow piece isn't very appealing since I've seen everything there was to see. I haven't touched the game since even though I had a blast with it.
For $15 though, it was well worth it.

Dylan all but confirmed to me on twitter that local coop leaderboards are also coming! Excellent. We are taking it slow only rainbowing 1-2 levels per evening. 35 rainbows in coop and counting. :) Hurry up Dylan, only 10 rainbows left. :)
Yea, basically there is only one level, where platforming is required (5-2, I think). This was refreshing, I want more of that in DLC.

I don't understand how these things couldn't have been in there from the get go. It seems painfully obvious to anyone who played and loved the old ones. They would have probably been better off postponing release by a couple months and getting their ducks in a row.
Well, I assume it was because the game looks gorgeous, and as a part of their design vision, they want to really highlight that. Given what we've seen of how the game looks when it's zoomed out, it really looses a lot of that detail. I'm very happy they're adding the option to zoom in and out during gameplay instead of fixed camera options.
In the age of releasing unfinished games, this is probably an afterthought. I hope we get one eventually, I loved the style of that one.
guys I am having difficulty to understand wheere to go next .I beat on fun and tricky all 3 levels for each of : Puckulu forest, Coco Valley, Twinkling Snowfields and Karstale Highlands. IS THIS ALL?! How to unlock at least third difficulty?
You unlock 3rd difficulty by finishing all the levels. You probably forgot a level

Yes! Thanks for the info, will download asap. :=) Quite in time, since we are almost done with rainbowing main game levels. 43/45 rainbows I think.
Season pass is £8.99 and includes Encore and Danganrompa levels.
But Encore is only £3.99 on its own. I wonder if the Danganrompa levels are going to be more expensive?
Otherwise cheaper to buy individually it seems

Cool, thanks for the info. Waiting to buy it when that is out (assuming that fixes most of the problems).
The PJM2 theme is part of the season pass even though it doesn't say so in the description lol
I find this game total bliss on Switch. I get lost relaxing and strategizing, killing monsters and protecting my little friends.
All the maps are fully utilized. But a given stage might only use a piece of a map. Also, did you try the trickier difficulties? Its not a health buff its all new monster patterns and waves. It's challenge mode.
Yes and that coins are collected individually and not shared by all players.
Well, this DLC missile tower is not bad, but not as cool as the lightning tower. It shoots at both air and ground targets, and can destroy 2 baloons on 2 flying monsters with a single missile. It is balanced by having only 3 missiles with quite long reload time.
Got excited by the patch notification yesterday, but 1.01 just fixes few bugs here and there.

The coins collected in a stage. It's for the best as online teammates could deplete your resources otherwise.
The zoomed-out camera can be beta tested on the Steam version now (this was just posted on Q-Games discord).
I was tentatively excited that the patch might have fixed the stupidity of the default, zoomed in camera and I would buy the game. But the Steam forum suggest that when you zoom out and view the entire map, PJM1-style, your can't move. You can only move/play again when you zoom back in. Which is utterly moronic if that's the case.
Anyone here confirm?

Bought it on switch. Bought it pc a couple days ago anticipating the patch. Will refund on steam now.
Ffs, what we're they thinking.
Such a shame. I dont know what they were thinking with the focus on this game. Does anyone even use the 3D follow mode?
So I guess this means its a wrap for couch co-op and viewing the whole map at once and playing?
Man, I hope that's not true. I'm trying to hold up playing until it drops for console but these design decisions are baffling unless it's a tech thing and even then they should've found a way around it.
How this didn't come up in planning and someone asking, is this a good idea?
Ugh.
Danganronpa-inspired DLC is out now! Those masks are sick. :) Gonna test the new Mana tower today when I get home, but anyhow good to have new stages to play.
We have slowed down a bit, the encore DLC stages are quite challenging (
) to rainbow at higher difficulty levels.

massive understatement
Yeah, haven't had the time to start playing the Encore stages yet but I've heard that the Danganronpa ones aren't as difficult as the Encore are on tricky/mayhem lol
Well, this new tower is sure interesting – took some time to figure out what it does. Basically you should position it near other towers and than it starts to tick, with every tick leveling the neighbours a bit. The tower is than vanish after some time leaving a gem behind. You can get a tower up to lvl3 with it without any dancing.
It gives a new tactical option to us, maybe especially helpful for solo play. For coop I am not sure it worth the cost yet (300g and 3gems), still may be usefull at some levels where you build part of your towers at a remote location.

I thought there was a guide section in the game, but I think it's a bit brief on the different towers.
hm i did look at the in game stuff, but maybe i missed the tower stuff. ill check again.
Well, for towers that were in the first game you can check wikia. As far as I could analyse, there were no changes to both power and upgrades of those.
