Description

Overhaul v1.3 was the twenty-ninth update to be released on Tower Defense Simulator, on the 8th of May 2021. This update is notable for bringing the Frost Invasion Event, the seventh event in Tower Defense Simulator.

Unlike with most updates before the Solar Eclipse Event, there was an official name for this update, that being the Frost Invasion Update. Overhaul v1.3 has been retroactively applied to this update to keep in line with the numbering scheme with the other updates.

This version encompassed nine updates, the main Overhaul v1.3.0 update (released 8 May 2021) and eight minor updates, the Overhaul v1.3.0a (released the same day as Overhaul v1.3.0, 8 May 2021), Overhaul v1.3.0b (released 11 May 2021), Overhaul v1.3.0c (released 13 May 2021), Overhaul v1.3.1 (released 16 May 2021), Overhaul v1.3.1a (released 26 May 2021), Overhaul v1.3.1b (released 31 May 2021), Overhaul v1.3.1c (released 2 June 2021) and Overhaul v1.3.1d (released 9 June 2021).
