This version needs a Hard Badge so I have an excuse to keep playing it. Maybe put a time limit on one map in particular, or on several. The "Creeping up on You" badge? (Is there already one of those?).
In reference to dropping upgrades: There is no option to wipe the slate clean and start a NEW game either. I'd be willing to start clean because the game is pretty quick. I don't want to delete cookies for Kongregate & lose progress on ALL my games. This game needs lots of little tweaks to make it better.
Likeable game & fun to play. Upgrades are reasonably priced; a big plus! Downsides are bad lag & lost audio; I'm told "Mission Failed" every time I die, but yet the "Tactics Room" screen I'm told 15/100 missions complete. When did I complete missions? The car causes serious lag & isn't much of a plus. It would be great to drop it. 3/5.
I have never lost a saved game. I DO clear cache but NOT cookies. Not sure if that is the difference. Check & see if your virus check run deletes cookies and correct it there if that is the problem. Make sure cookies are not deleted on logoff of Windows.
I've noticed that a lot of the "Pro Tips" can be found by clicking HELP (lower right) & going through the tabs to see the info there. So that's MY (ahem) Pro Tip. RTFM LOL
I am very late to the CW party, but now that I am here I am having a great time! What an awesome set of games. Just can't say enough about the innovative game play. 5/5 on all versions.
The directions keep saying not to overbuild, but if I don't, I get killed really fast! I'm getting a little better, but it still seems like I need tons of collectors & blasters to win. Sorry if this seems like I'm complaining, 'cos I'm not! Really love this game, just trying to learn!
I tried to like this game, but just could not get into it. I went to the link in the developer's response to Hakuangel7. There are 15 charts in that link. 15!! If I have to study 15 charts understand the enemy in a game, well, that's a bit much & I won't play. I agree with Slevink that simply hovering over the enemy should give us the data we need to know which attack to use.
(Wish there was an EDIT on comments!) 1. *from not form 2. moving mortars FORWARD to clarify from UP. 3. hour+ (no space) 4. Also, using more mortars & fewer blasters in addition to more relays.
@Stainedglass Some of us are still learning. But I did cut my time down form an hour + to 33 mins on my last mission. Still long I know, but better! I finally started using relays & got braver about moving up mortars.
Thanks for the advice about Training Sim. This is my first try at Creeper World & I've won two missions but it did take a long time. Almost gave up but now I'm hooked. Very good game. Enjoying something different.
I had never played this game all the way through before. Now I remember why!! Made it this time somehow. I think it was all that Fancy Pants playing! Got me in shape to finish this game. And yes, Greg, appreciate picking up older games for badges. Thanks!
For everyone using Quick Save for mis-hits: I used the MENU button (upper right corner) & chose restart turn. You also have the option to restart the battle from that same screen.
