figured out the last level, more guns is not a good thing, it took all 7 regen items, about 6-7 shields, and 8, yes... 8 of the weapon damage increase items. Seems silly to set it up that way, but oh well.
last level is impossible because all weapons fire at a few things, then remaining shots are lost instead of smarter targetting, or even just letting the projectile continue forward to hit the next thing in line. Target saturation with not very intelligent targetting systems or area of effect weapons makes it close to impossible.
After having played through the tutorial and getting used to the controls. I tried a complex on hard. I absolutely loved the fact that not only were the enemies more difficult to take down, but the complex was *Much* more expansive than the regular ones. I was able to completely fill my resource bars with just one hard mode run. I really enjoyed it. The leveling system being two parts is great. And the manufacturing parts for your robot doesn't take much at first, which is a great way to get me hooked. Great game overall so far!
I don't usually comment. But I love Tower defense games that present a challenge. This is not one of them. 2/5 (I'd give it a 1 but the graphics are decent) But to be constructive: Put a limit on the upgrade for money at the start of each level. That would at least limit the amount of resources that one can have to start the map. Also, reduce the power of the Tesla tower, There is no need to buy any of the other towers with this mega tower at only 250 + upgrades. (total of 1180) Or, if you'd like to have those as they are, add an option to send as many waves as we like (as many have said) This will at least let us challenge our own defenses once we've spent the money we have at the start.
This marks the first time I have played a game on this, or any other flash site, from start to finish, and felt the need to comment. This is an amazing piece of artwork. Everything from start to finish was truly incredible. I wish I could give a 6 star rating... I really do.
Thanks for the feedback so far DaCrowTrain! You'll get way more XP playing on Hard mode so it's a great way to get your robot zooming up in level :)
