I really like your games... but is there something you can do so thy don't lag that much? :\ All of them! It's weird because they aren't anything fabulous in terms of graphics, but even on the low settings it's slow enough to be very hard to enjoy. I do have the latest flash player, I did set the memory to unlimited, and I don't have such issues for 95% of games here.
It's annoying to spend hours thinking about the game mechanics and balance... only to find out that it's all broken:
(1) Poison Water can spam two incredibly cheap low level spells to win any battle?
(2) Who on earth would learn additional defensive bolts (HD and LD) when attacking ones will do just the same and more?
(3) Why Great Sea's clan special additional defensive bolts cost just the same as Chaos Desert's additional attacking bolts? Aren't they latter like much more useful?
You should have balanced mana costs, and clan specials. For one, I would make defensive bolts cheaper, so they are not flat out worse than attacking bolts, and some defensive builds are possible.
Do freeze / burn cancel each other? I would understand that, BUT apparently freeze cancels freeze and burn cancels burn! That's stupid, having a freezer and especially burner with 2+ AC often leads to a skipped attack (to save the effect). I think you should change it in the sequel: at least the self-canceling part.
refresh the page and abuse the llamadrome. the money become worthless, and there's not much to do in the game apart from fighting. I have given the game 4/5 though.
TIP: if you want to make things on HIGH difficulties easy -- just go through to the cave and get the KNIGHT. Although (sometimes) possible, many 2-3* early levels are very difficult without him, simply because there's now way for you to ged rid of armored nasties.
ALSO: if you have spare scraps, buy more defenders and don't forget to summon all of them when the victory is already yours (they will earn more EXP).
I would take this DEMO word out at least from the title. I believe some people aren't trying the game just because of this word :)
Simply tell them in the Description that Acts V+ are not included in the free version, and the full game is only $10 :) If someone NEVER EVER would play a demo or spend $10, he'll leave after reading description.
But don't repulse people (some of whom might even confuse demo with something like alpha-beta development stage).
Actually, we originally called it "Defenders' Quest Prelude" for exactly that version - to show that it was more of an intro to the game. However, we had a very strong backlash of "false advertising" from players, and a low score. We didn't want to deceive people, so we put "demo" in the title, and fortunately the players rewarded our forthrightness with a much higher score and very positive feedback. So, while I understand what you're saying, I think we'll go ahead and keep "demo" in there. ;-)
That's close to be genius: great TD + awesome RPG + amazing storyline. If you liked Kingdom Rush, Protector, or GemCraft...forget it, this game is definitely more enjoyable :) Okay, maybe it's not THAT genius, but easy 5* and (one of) the best Kongregate TD. If I you are considering buying a game, buy this one.
