Why is this in strategy/defense? Are games like this usually in strategy/defense? I guess I'm not sure... I don't think they should be. It's more like 'Luck and timing("skill")' than 'strategy and defense'
@blighty80 It's like a home base that you can set where ever you want. You can build it near a big deposit of minerals to shorten the walking distance for your guys.
Maybe remove the default 2 workers not starting with the 'Harvest' option on. Players just beginning aren't going to notice that two of their guys are essentially doing NOTHING most of the time. Also, this game left me wanting more. Add more levels please :D
This game's rating isn't really high like all the other ones. Maybe Kongregate thwarted their rate-bots. (I would rate this game a 2-2.5 if I weren't biased against games8, so the current rating seems 'real' to me)
The 'Loading' screen when you restart a level didn't even get retextured, it's still the Ultimate Ship War image. Boo, 1/5 again. Someone needs to put an end to your horribleness.
This has been a bad month for BoTD. Way too many MMO type games, with horrible servers that never connect or load. I'm just sitting here staring at a blue sky.
Oh, and it's really annoying when guys walk around with no health and no laser charges, but try to go fight the enemies. They should go home and heal on their own, even if I disable Defend The Colony and all other jobs they just shamble around until they inevitably get shot. Usually they will heal, but it happens often enough that they don't for it to be annoying.
The most annoying thing is most definitely not that port/pipeline thing... That doesn't even seem like an issue to me! They are in the same place, on the same side, for every building! Seems like an easy issue to solve in any case, just make them show on the grid that pops up for placing the building. (Also, it's not like you can accidentally block the pipeline, the building won't build if something is blocking that) Should also add a button for 'Build Pipeline and Electric Line' so we can do both at once. I would definitely like to see perhaps red and green arrows next to 'Food' and 'Oxygen' indicating whether I am making enough of either to support my peoples. Fullscreen mode or easier to read text and better graphics (I like the graphics, don't get me wrong, it's just hard to see some stuff.) Great game. hopefully you can update it with the popular suggestions to make it even better.
Played this game a few weeks ago. Same annoying gameplay functions. Except this time, I can buy more different types of buildings right from the beginning, rather than unlocking them as you go through the levels. 1/5 on the principal that this is just another ''games8 game, and didn't really change anything since last release.
King Bob's items seem to hold the same description as the magic dude's items, even though they have different names. Haven't checked for the other characters, I assume their stuff has issues too. Fun game, but riddled with many annoying bugs and mechanics.
Missing Items: Cool Orb. The description for Beautiful Orb suggests that there should be a Cool Orb, and because that is missing the descriptions for the rest of the orbs beyond cool are off by one. Fancy Barrier, also sets all barriers after it off by 1. There is also no Goody Glove or Goody Sandal, but it's hard to tell if the Tusbol items are off because of that. Hopefully you can either add in the missing items, or fix the descriptions on the items so they line up right.
Beat the last level but the level would 'end'. Bob was just standing there with his arms up, stunned. That's a pretty depressing bug... Though, on the plus side, after I reloaded the game I have over 3000 souls and 30000 mithril (Or wait, it's "mhytril"). So I guess I can craft whatever I want now :D
WOW! I completely assumed this was a troll, but apparently if you right click, then left click, then right click again on the 'Play Now' button it might work for you. It worked for me the first time I tried it, but I still assume that was just a coincidence. You can try it if you're desperate for that BoTD but can't connect. And if it doesn't work, you've wasted maybe 2 seconds. Low risk, high potential reward (if you can count playing this game as a reward... It's still gross, connection issues aside). Give it a shot!
How dare ye Kongregate, putting this as the Badge of The Day. I hate games like these. Epic War is good, this is like epic war, but not. It seems like something I'd have to invest hours into just to start having fun. But then, would I be having fun? Or would I just be telling myself I'm having fun, so I didn't feel bad about putting that much time into it?
Getting sick of all the Kingdom Rush fanboys always accussing every TD game of being a Kingdom Rush copy. If all the towers were exactly the same, and the game played the same way, then yes, it's too much like Kingdom Rush. I did not recall Kingdom Rush having a Day/Night cycle in which different 'mobs' were used to defend. I did not recall Kingdom Rush allowing you to customize which monsters were in your soldier towers for defense. Honestly people. Just stop it. This is no better than when you said 'Dwarves vs Giants' was a Kingdom Rush copy. It's called TOWER DEFENSE, okay?
Looks nice. I would suggest adding Q+E for rotating the camera, 1-6 hotkeys for the towers. Could be fun if you made it into a full game, but I wouldn't expect to get good ratings off a tech demo, so don't let it get you down if people don't rate this well.
