i wasn't paying attention, a firefly landed in the centre of my web which took up the entire screen, got swarmed by moths and smashed through my web. If anything, fireflies are the most dangerous insects in the entire game.
@DavidBordeaux: The whole point of the laser is to always be behind you no matter how far you go or the game would be too easy. But it still gets faster as time goes on meaning if you get high fast enough then it won't fly up the screen so fast, but take a long time and by about 250m it goes so fast you hardly have time to stop.
I really love the game but I only have 2 things which I don't like. I hate the fact that I have an awesome ranged henchman who helps me out, then someone comes from behind and just completely kills him by the time i get back. And the second thing is that the mithril vest deflects "arrows" but this doesn't apply to the orc ranged unit which uses thrown axes which I think is unfair as it feels like using throwing axes against my mithril vest is like exploiting a loophole. Otherwise, I think its an awesome game.
Most effective way to combat lag/fastforward - Scroll down or minimize game screen but just be sure to check back every 8 seconds or so because those bloons will move FAST!
You know..... im surprised that their beaks don't just wear down or break....... I mean, they're constantly jabbing it into a solid rock face to climb up it!
