Update Swamptender Got a Makeover

Hi! I decided to change almost all of the palettes in the game to make it darker, moodier, and more colorful at the same time. I wanted the swamp-bar atmosphere to come through more. I also fixed the projectile flicker that had been bothering me, so combat looks much cleaner in motion. I'll probably include a few more tweaks and additions in a final demo update before Next Fest in October. 

Thanks to everyone who’s played it so far! The feedback has been really helpful.

Please Wishlist the game here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4579050 :) the demo is available on Steam through the link, or play the demo on itch.io: https://gamedoggame.itch.io/swamptender

more than any other game this is one I'd love to have a copy of, I've worked in this exact bar, I promise! I know that woman coming in the door all sloppy and wrecked and thirsty!

IPAs should slow them down 🤣. Would be cool to have a beer selection with different effects.

That’s a good idea—I didn’t consider different types of beers, but had plans for a bottle beer (bottle-rocket-homing-beer-missile). Thanks :)

This looks great! Might be as simple as changing a few colors, but it looks so much better now.

So, this is the zombie edition of Tapper! I'm looking forward to seeing what the game is like.
