Are you fond of tower defense games? If so, you’re probably going to love Variables 2. Developed by Asteroid Game Studio, this game has all of the building blocks of a typical tower defense title except that you can change some elements to your liking.
Having said that, Update 1.1.0 is now available. It offers tons of new content, including nine new turrets, six new gears, twelve new achievements, along with several upgrades. Turrets also have a proper name now instead of just a codename.
Certain aspects of the game have been optimized as well. For instance, you no longer have to click the achievement icon anymore if you want to get the reward. Further, if you have corrupted or broken battle save data, a message would appear telling you that you can safely delete them.
On top of that, the issue where you can experience a drop in FPS when using the Butterfly Dream has been fixed.
