Survival mode should be about endurance, not lasting for eternity. Especially since the AI isn't clever enough for smart building. It quickly maxes out a grand total of 7 buildings - I've read 5 from another person - but is unable to do anything else. As others have said, its quite easy to live on EMPs alone. The enemy should have more room, a set amount of HP, or a time limit, because, hell, you're going to run out of resources in the 800 feet you have eventually.
If you need assistance with the last level, dodge attacks and focus on the smaller enemies. They'll get more difficult as you defeat them, but they'll eventually run out. Then, just focus on the boss.
Sorry for the TRIPLE post, resized the screen with CTRL+mouse wheel and the text resized to the correct size, fixing it. Not sure if I'm the only one with the initial problem though. Wish I had fit it all into one comment.
Very imbalanced... requires a lot of grinding to get high enough to fight the intended level. It should be about how you play, not how much you play it. A lot of skills need to be fixed, like Sun Path (apparently always 100%) and Heart of Steel (Better description) and some serious balancing. Four waves should not be on the map at the same time before the first one has gotten to/through the portal or even WHERE YOU BUILT. Having masses of weak enemies charge at you just for you to go back and grind is not an excuse for the player being bad - its a place that needs to be fixed.
Let's get this all straight into one comment, shall we? Louissi is the creator. Kongregate requires only the creator of a game to be the uploader. If anyone else uploads it without the permission of the creator, then the game is STOLEN. If this was not uploaded by Louissi and specifically says that Louissi gave the uploader permission (which it doesn't) then the game is STOLEN. Furthermore, the reason the creator must upload it is because the game can win CASH. It doesn't matter if the creator is credited in the credits or the beginning, because the money goes to the uploader! BigBullet stole the game, and has no right to Louissi's prize, if he/she won. This is why the game should be flagged, given a low rating, and taken down, until Louissi him/herself decides to upload it to Kong. Until then, play it somewhere else.
Cool game. I'll come back later to see if there are more levels. I liked Mirror, by the way. Sort of bugs me, though, having the Credits door brown. Feels like there's something left unaccomplished. Everything is gold, but the Credits door... and the Developer's Page door, of course, but that's obvious.
Bah, sorry for TRIPLE post, but I just got all doors gold. It is very possible to do all the levels. The only one I had a lot of difficulty with was the top left coin in Alternate. Every level is possible, there are no platforms that are too high to reach without another platform to get there, or another method to get it. If you think it's a bug, you're doing something wrong, try again.
The platform is not too high in neither Lattice or Drop Down. There is another method you have missed. It is not a bug. I have personally gotten all but one coin in the game, on The Lair - Acrobatics
No way the hardest setting is possible. 3 hits to die, a full clip to kill the easiest guys, I barely got through level 2. The boss there dealt 70 damage in one hit. You get cornered and die far to easily. The guy plotting against you kills you with one shot - why do all his henchmen take a whole clip to the face? 2/5.
Mages are horrible underpowered. You can only use your best spell once at low levels before using an item - fighting the Crocolisks is near impossible without loads of grinding just for money. Energy never increases, which should be mana for a mage.
Despite saving mutliple times, my first slot was deleted. The others remained fine, its just the first slot, the one I had the most progress on. Done with this game now.
