Game would be great, if the performance were better. Lowest settings on a fast machine is still sluggish. Perhaps you should do a bit of profiling?

Why would the game not save automatically after completing a mission in the campaign mode??? This is very frustrating if you forget to hit the "Save Game" button...of course I want to save the game...
Developer response from StickpageDOTcom

Some people might not want to save at that point. So remember to save.

Abra, I appreciate your effort on this. It seems as if it's working sometimes. One of my characters which I couldn't previously access is now accessible. One still isn't. Great job though. It's definitely an improvement.

Nice, quick iterations on fixes. You're putting a lot of time into this game, and it certainly shows. Thanks for taking a shot at these save issues. I haven't been able to reproduce the issue, but then again, I don't want to screw up my level 52 mage. That being said -- despite being careful -- I haven't run into any save issues recently.

@Abra: That's certainly reasonable. Nothing's worse than trying to deal with a bug you can't even reproduce. I'll try to get you a reproducible use-case.

Saved games are a serious issue with this game. I like the game, but I now have 3 characters that I can't access due to save issues. This has made me quit playing the game. Telling people to go backup their games by copying files all over the place isn't reasonable. Please fix your save code to be more robust. Perhaps use some redundancy when saving files? ie. have 2 save files for each character. Then only delete the old save after you can verify the new save file isn't corrupt. As a developer myself, I understand that you are doing this in your free time and doing it for fun. Fixing bugs isn't nearly as fun as adding features. However, it's necessary if you want people to enjoy your software.

I realize game saves are a serious issue for the people it effects. I have 75,000 plays, and a dozen or so game save complaints. It works just fine for the vast majority of players I feel. That said I will get to it eventually. I have no problem killing bugs, but bugs that effect a tiny percentage of players, that I cannot reproduce on my own system are a different story and may take some time.

For some reason, I eventually can't select my characters. It doesn't do it all the time, but so far I've lost a 29 warrior and a 43 rogue this way. Very frustrating. For my rogue, it happened right after my lap top suddenly powered down. I'm wondering if it was in the middle of a write when it happened. Regardless, it's happened twice now.
Developer response from Abra24

Any sort of forced shut down will cause saves to be corrupted (flash crashing, browser crashing, computer crashing), standard browser close is fine though. I recommend a manual save before shut down, it's the safest, I'm sorry for any lost data. If it is a frequent problem, you may consider backing up the actual save files to a safe location every so often, then copy them back to the correct folder if you have a problem, this does work. If you go this route I believe the saves are in: %AppData%\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\(random string different for everyone)\chat.kongregate.com\gamez\0013\9715\live\wowbars.swf

This really needs some sort of tutorial...instructions on a forum are just lame.

I just finished completing all levels perfect, but it didn't give me the badge? Am I missing something?

@Booblyccom: I meant something along the lines of stats. When I increase that red tower a level, what's it actually doing? With the yellow one, I see it increases range a bit, but can you show how much more damage upgrading does?
Developer response from booblycCom

Done. Mouseover tooltips on all the towers and upgrades.
Play Monsters TD Monsters TD Mar. 06, 2012
Nice game. It would be nice to show what the upgrades actually do though. Maybe some tooltips?
Developer response from booblycCom

Done.

Level 24 is really lame...I changed my registry to get rid of the stupid caps lock key...now I can't beat this game... you really should allow an alternate way of beating this.

I have to say that I absolutely love Conceptis's games. Whenever you come out with a new one on Kongregate, I snatch it up and don't put it down until it's finished. I assume that this is the same Conceptis that makes the actual puzzle books (yes, like with paper). If so, let me just say that they are wonderful also. I hope a color-pic-a-light book comes out (or is it already?). I plan on looking once I can peel my eyes off this game.
Play Wild Defense Web2.0 Wild Defense Web2.0 Nov. 23, 2011
This game is fantastic. One of the better TD games I've played. There are tons of new concepts here. It's too bad the game was so incomplete at first. There are now tooltips and things are much more obvious. Don't be fooled by the low rating. The game is definitely a 5/5 now.
Play Corporation Inc. Corporation Inc. Nov. 21, 2011
This game would be great if it weren't for the crappy bugs. As it is, I give it 3/5.
Play Legend of the Void Legend of the Void Nov. 17, 2011
It would be nice if items that you have equipped didn't show up in your inventory; or at least have an option to filter out equipped items so they aren't accidentally sold, and don't generally clutter up the inventory

What am I missing? I've only been able to get to level 8 on normal...everyone talks about how easy this is, but starting at level 8, I just sit there going back and forth and neither of us are able to get to the other person's castle.
Play Pirate Defense Pirate Defense Sep. 16, 2011
I honestly just didn't get this game. It is just overly cimplicated and not very wel explained. I wanted to like it, but I just didn't. 2/5
Play Dead Metal Dead Metal Sep. 16, 2011
I have loved pretty much every game Hero Interactive has made. However, this begging for 5's is pathetic. Have some pride and let your game stand on its own merits.
Play Elephant Quest Elephant Quest Apr. 15, 2011
I'm unable to get the badges for this. I completed the game once, and just started New Game+ to see what that was. However, now that badges are added, the only one I was given was the reach level 10 one.
