Hello everyone and welcome to this week’s Tower Unite Dev Log! ## Birb Plush Campaign EXTENDED! [![](https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/11783817/ff3846d65ce1b7061881727bb446875001f115fe.png) ](https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/11783817/ff3846d65ce1b7061881727bb446875001f115fe.png) Birb’s got it all: the power to stun dragons, an all-you-can-eat arcade game, a statue, the adoration of the people, and, now, a plushie! Bring home Birb and feel great safety if a dragon ever decides to try and start something. Birb has it handled. You just provide the birdseed. (And hugs.) The campaign will be up for a limited time (6 more days), so check out the store page to see how it all works and get one for yourself! These limited time plushies go directly towards supporting our developers and the development of Tower Unite! We hope you enjoy the Birb plushie! Any support you give us means so much, and we hope to keep bringing you more fun in the future!

Absolutely love the grapple on the Pluck-a-pal crane, new mobility options like this are so fun. The Witch Broom has been such a kick just hovering around the plaza. ---
