Additional Screen

MysticTowers 11 InstructionPage14.png

This screen was added in v1.1 to the in-game instructions as page 14.

Three screens showing previews of all the monsters in the game have been moved from the instructions (pages 14~16 in v1.0) to the ordering information (v1.1).

Miscellaneous Differences

  • When bringing up the save or load screen while a falling bomb nearly hits the ground, and then resuming, a glitch occurs: The bomb will not explode but lie on the ground and can be picked up. If you walk across the trap tile that triggered the bomb again, the game gets confused and it might delete an existing object in the room. At this point, if you load, save or quit, the game crashes on v1.0. But it does not crash on v1.1.
  • Cheat codes don't work in practice mode in v1.0, but they do in v1.1.
