First of all, thank you all folks! For making it possible for us to make a game and release it on Steam. We've got too much feedback from the initial version. Some of you guys were suggested skils, some of them said that they're getting crazy with the hardness of the game. Overall feedbacks were really incredibly useful for me to understand how should I approach the next update. So as a result of the community's feedback, the biggest update is live!!!

Update Plan to v2.0.0
Thanks to the valuable feedback of 100+ players, this update was made possible! Without you, we would have had to resort to the classic game developer method of guessing what players want, and let's face it, we all know how that turns out... So, a big thank you to our community for helping us make the game better and for sparing us from the dreaded guesswork!
After receiving feedback from you, I discovered that Bowerwhelm has a solid foundation for a fun game, but lacks content and progression. Frankly, it was starting to feel like a slow and painful root canal after +7 hours of playtime. So, in this new update, It's planned to add a TON of extra content and made some small tweaks to maximize replayability. Plus, I'll squash a few pesky bugs that were bugging players.
This update will be live in the last week of June. Here are the main points for the v2.0.0 update:
New Enemy Types
Jumpy Cube: This cube-shaped enemy loves to hop around and get in your way.
Rolling Barrel: A barrel-shaped enemy that never stops rolling, making it a constant threat on the ground.
Healing Sentry: A static enemy that heals other enemies, so take it down quickly to gain the upper hand.
New Maps
Loot Lair: A dungeon themed map, because who doesn't love looting in a dungeon?
Urban Jungle: A city themed map where the concrete canopy is the sky and the people are just a bunch of apes in suits.
New Upgrades
Auto-Draw: A quality of life upgrade. No more hold to draw, let the game do the work for you.
Skill Reroll: Unlucky with options? Just reroll left and try again!
Second Chance: Respawn once per a game.
Powershot: 2x-4x damage boost when bow is fully drawn.
Though Skin: Reduce the damage taken.

Cover My Six: Enemies behind you? Not a problem. They're moving in slow motion now!
