Best way to get money if you're lazy is just start a level, wait till the screen is decently filled up and then use your bomb, once you're out of bombs suicide and repeat.
Zoom in for level 21 and 12, zoom in (Ctrl+mouse wheel) then right click and select zoom in within the game window (the white part) so the game fits the window. Hard to explain and I don't know if it works on other browsers other than firefox. Also on level 21 the method is bottom right, top right, bottom left, top left.
Took me 2 days of playing to finish the game and I enjoyed all the hours of it. Great game, way better than the previous versions where it was just battles. Hope to see more in the future, keep up the good work!
Just max out agility, attack, defense and speed and the game is easy, do not bother with magic at all. I finished the game twice, once on newgrounds and now on kongregate. Also I'm not 100% sure but agility affects the growth rate. I have no idea why its named agility but eh its a good skill to max out.
Also to people having trouble with the bosses: The turtle is easy so no need for explanation there. For the scorpion just take out his pincers and do not bother with his claws and for the squid take out the 2 tentacles at the front only. If you take out more then that then he'll destroy your buildings at a faster rate which is annoying and hard to keep up.
It was fun, glad to see that you tried to take a new spin on the old tower defense type games. I loved the use of elements and accessories and figuring out the different combinations was fun.
Glad to have played this game.
