| Leaderboards Update! | 2026-04-26 | Gentlemen, I am pleased to announced that Steam Leaderboards have been added to Buckshot Battlemage! With this update, you can flex on your friends/foes and see how you stack up among the Buckshot Bros. Currently, the leaderboards are set up so that you have the option to see the top ranks, ranks near yours, and only friend rankings.Fear not, your old high scores will still count! On ending a run, your current best score for that level is submitted. To submit all of your old high scores, just start a run and die on each level and your previous level best will be submitted.I've only been able to test the system at a small scale, so let me know |

| Positive Review Status + Whats Next | 2025-09-12 | With 10+ reviews, Mage Tower Massacre has now reached a positive rating on Steam! Massive thanks to anyone who left a review for the game. For those unfamiliar with Steam's algorithms, games get a massive boost in visibility in the store and discovery queue once they hit 10+ reviews. By leaving a review, you help the game (and me) out immensely! I've really been enjoying talking with those who have played the game and who are shooting for all the achievements.Mage Tower Massacre is my first game and first release on Steam. The game is content complete, but I plan to keep supporting the game with updates and bugfixes for the foreseeable future |
| Steam Deck Support | 2025-09-12 | Hello fellow Mage Tower Masochists ːleatherneckːSince the game launched, I have been testing the game out more thoroughly on Steam Deck and have received reports from other players as well that the game functions as expected. With this being a small game release, its unlikely to be reviewed by Valve for Steam Deck Verification any time soon. With that in mind, here are the features that are supported on Steam Deck:Full controller support with correct button names and layout for Steam DeckRebindable controlsPC Steam Deck cloud savesIf you find an issue with the game on Steam Deck, please let me know and I'll do my best to fix it immediately!-s |
