CASTLE DOOMBAD CLASSIC v1.5.0 - 12/19/25 Happy Holislays to one and all! Our holiday winter event is here, plus as a bonus, we've also introduced a treacherous NEW TRAP: the Doom-a-rang! Read on for more dreadful details! WHAT'S NEW:
The Doom-a-rang flings onto the scene! This new Auto Trap flies through heroes and back, dealing damage both ways! Much more reliable than real-life boomerags. (Seriously, have you tried one before?)
Our Happy Holislays Event is here! Included are SIX brand new Event Stages, dozens of new holiday-themed items and rewards to collect, Event Quests, and more! Available for a limited time, access it through the "Events" button on the Main Menu.
Five new Baddie Bonuses have been added with the holiday event: Frostflame, Owvalanche, Fortunate Freezer, Frostbit Crits, and Iced Out
Snap a stylish pic of your decked-out Control Room in our new Photo Mode! Access via the camera button in the Spoils Screen. You can save photos on this screen to your machine and share with friends!
New Achievement, "Challvenge Mode": Complete Night 1 in Roguevenge with 4 orange "Challenge Baddie Bonuses" activated
Added new Spoils Screen Filter for "Challenge Baddie Bonuses"
You can now view your Active Baddie Bonuses in the pause screen of both Classic Mode and Roguevenge! Tap on any Baddie Bonus in the list to refresh yourself on their effects.
We have performed our biggest game optimization yet and improved overall game performance and stability, especially on older devices.
BALANCE CHANGES:
The Axe-o-Matic and the Troopkin's damage output has been slightly increased. The Axe-o-Matic can now crit, whereas it couldn't before.
The Gothy Desk Spoil's Baddie Bonus is now "Blackout", replacing "Diescount"
The Hockey Mask Spoil's Baddie Bonus is now "Death and Taxes", replacing "Diescount"
The Gold Pointy Crown's Baddie Bonus is now "Death and Taxes", replacing "So Pointy"
The Happy Pumpkin Spoil's Baddie Bonus is now "Gourd's Gambit", replacing "Harvestor of Souls". Its rarity has also been increased.
Minifridge now has the new Baddie Bonus "Frostbit Crits", replacing "Expiration Date"
Holislay Hat now has the new Challenge Baddie Bonus, "Iced Out", replacing "North Polenishment"
"North Polenishment" Baddie Bonus effect trigger chance increased from 20% to 30%
"Gift Receipt" Baddie Bonus scream refund amount increased from 10% to 15%
"Lit Crits" Baddie Bonus effect trigger chance increased from 20% to 30%
BUGFIXES:
"Blackout" Challenge Baddie Bonus now stacks its challenge effect properly
Fixed Event Quests not properly saving quest completion when completing a quest midstage and quitting out before fully finishing the stage. Now the player can quit early and retain their quest completion status.
Fixed the green "buff arrow" in Roguevenge on traps showing as a square
Fixed a performance stutter when first taking a trap from the trap shelf on a new stage
Fixed numerous errors in various parts of the game that could result in soft locks, crashes, or other issues
Applied various other stability improvements
