This is a good tower defense (thought the sounds, oh gosh the sounds!). The designer is/will be an excellent programmer on other projects. Well done! :D
Alright. I'm level 26. I tried my first duel against a "worthy opponent". It was a level 278 character who nearly killed me in one round. I survived to round two, somehow.
"Worthy opponents" is misleading. It leads one to believe that the battles are against others that are similar in level. Why was I matched up against someone more than ten times my level? That wasted 4,000 gold and 25 energy.
This game is clearly unrealistic. You magically leave the shop at 8 p.m. just an hour after closing, AND YOU NEVER CLEAN IT?! And when does the Health Department show up?
Kongregate has many great games. This is one of the ones that has genuine depth. Well done with the writing! Memorable characters are what make a game fondly remembered.
If a game is a waste of time, I give it 1/5. If someone put effort, 2/5. Decent gets 3/5, and fairly good gets 4/5. This is a rare 5/5. Well done!!! I wish it was longer and such, but very good for what it is. Thanks for making it and sharing it with us.
"Cyric the thief." Ah hahahaaha. Undefined, I'm just finishing the Trial of Cyric the Mad from the Avatar series. How perfect. P.S. well done with this game.
I think this game has potential, but people need to win. Maybe make this like Elona Shooter, where you get achievements that carry bonuses over to the next game (like starting gems, etc.). A good attempt, but needs some work. I encourage you to improve his.
