Lucky Tower Ultimate Early Access now coming in September
We know you're excited for Lucky Tower Ultimate, and we want to deliver the best possible version on day one of Early Access. In order to do so, we need to take a few extra weeks to add the finishing touches to the Early Access build, and finish translating all our puns into multiple languages (we wrote a lot of great new stuff for the Village, oops!). The release will now be in September.
Stay tuned for the exact release date of Lucky Tower Ultimate, which we’ll share in the coming weeks!

Demo Patch Notes:
It mainly includes bug fixes, aside from that there a some notable changes:
Door handles stay down once you enter a door, so you'll know which room you entered already.
Chests now have color-coded locks and keys. For every locked chest, there should be a fitting key on the same floor.
Reduced number of haircuts, for consistency with the Early Access release (sorry, more haircuts need to be unlocked at the barber in the future!).
Improved ragdolls for some enemies.
Some UI polishing

Lucky Tower Ultimate Coming to Early Access August 2024
We have some huge news that we couldn't be more excited to share with you: Lucky Tower Ultimate is coming to Early Access in August 2024!
Why Early Access?
We've been working hard on Lucky Tower Ultimate for a few years now, and have already received invaluable feedback from our incredible community has been critical to development.
As a roguelite with randomly generated levels, Lucky Tower Ultimate often surprises us with the many challenging and absurd situations it throws at us each time we play. This wide range of experiences is a lot to adventure through alone, so we want to work closely with our players to create the most entertaining version of the game possible. Input from the community will help upgrade the game to craft a truly ultimate version of Lucky Tower.
We expect that Lucky Tower Ultimate will be in Early Access for less than a year.
Closer to the Early Access launch in August, we'll release a roadmap of updates you can expect to see throughout Early Access development.
In the meantime, wishlist Lucky Tower Ultimate on Steam and join the conversation on the Studio Seufz Discord!

Changelog (NextFest -> GDC):
A lot of bug fixes!
Easier to pick up items: They hover higher above the ground and small items are rendered before the player. You can now also pick up items with the equip command.
You can now meet every companion in any mood (sad/angry/happy) everywhere in the tower, not just trapped in cages.
You can now enter and use the tower's toilet (if you find it).
Banana peels leave a visible trail if you step on them.
It's now way easier to give Evelius items that he demands via thumbs up / thumbs down instead of unequipping stuff. That's also true for giving companions gold if they demand it.
Heal a companion suffering from poisoning by giving them food.
You can now wear armor as a monster.
A bunch of new helmets and hats! Colorful peasant caps, a heavy cone-shaped helmet and a spiked helmet.

Hi folks,
as the demo has been up on Steam for some time now, it's time for a fresh breeze!
We are giving everyone access to the current state of the game for two weeks, after which we will deactivate the demo.
