Annoying game. This is not a puzzle game at all. The puzzles are way too easy to solve. All you gotta do is time it right, to the millisecond precision. Poor level design
Really great idea but falls short of the mark. Firstly, as said earlier, not enough upgrades and there could have been an upgrade for faster energy regeneration. Secondly the mini-tesla coil performs far below expectation. It hits only 1 in 5 or 6 enemies - looks like it has a long recharge time, but that destroys the purpose of having it at all if i end up zapping almost every enemy. And the strike precision is not very good, especially for tanks. I find that I have to aim at a specific spot on the tank for the energy to hit the tank. Thirdly and just as important is the Pause and Continue option - I need to pause a game for a loo break and "what the!" there's no pause button. So I hit the Menu and "what the fu..." My game's gone. Seriously it's an awesome concept but you need to take care of these issues. Maybe a sequel with all this rectified?
Spoiler:
To those who find it hard to get Brilliant on L14(because of the ninja boss)
-Max out the Mana Pool, Mind Control and Ice Mastery spells.
-Place Crypts(snow towers) on the high positions near the entrances and make sure they max out as Fearful Towers before the final wave(ninja boss)
-Place Dens at shooting distance from the entry points and upgrade them to Ballista Towers.
DO NOT PLACE ANY OTHER(ESPECIALLY LOW LEVEL) TOWER IN SHOOTING DISTANCE FROM THE ENTRY POINTS
-Keep the Meteor spell(with Meteor Study and Meteor Mastery maxed) at the ready with mana max at 500 for the ninja boss
Tip: If you have maxed out Cut Down Study and Cut Down Mastery, then you can keep cutting trees to fill your coffers, making sure there's always just enough mana for a couple of meteor strike in case assassins or ninjas get too close.
If you find this helpful vote it up and keep this comment on the top for others.
An important tip: Don't try to hit the soldiers. I repeat, don't try to hit the soldiers, especially in the checkpoints. Try avoiding them as much as possible by just moving out of the line of fire(use good use of the handbrake). It will probably hurt you more than help you rack up the points.
