Gem TD+ 1.5.2 is another simple release, and primarily addresses a few bugs. Do realize that older versions are no longer eligible for the 1.5 Leaderboards.

As far as the why, it is simple. An abusable bug was found that could directly impact results. The bug is related to using Cancel with Extra Chance. Basically, an oversight during development caused a line of code to be omitted, which resulted in the chance tables not being reset upon using Cancel. This allowed the incorrect chance table to persist until the player opted to set a new Extra Chance target, regardless of the actual bonus.

It is highly unlikely that people knew of this bug. Some people have probably unknowingly made use of it, and attributed the results to good (or bad) luck. However, all games currently on the leaderboards will be verified with this bug in mind. Offending ones where there appears to be intent to abuse this knowledge, if any such games exist, will be yanked.

Check the changelog for a full list of changes, or check in-game under Information (F9).

Notable Changes

  • Creeps should no longer attack and will instead teleport, as was always intended.
  • Players can now select their race in the lobby. This is purely a cosmetic change.
  • Save/load compatibility (broken in 1.5.1) has been restored. Games played in such a manner are not eligible for the leaderboards.
