I found myself playing it over and over again... not because I enjoyed it so much, but to see if it really was as poorly balanced as I remembered it.
1) Balance - it's always very difficult to start, until you reach a point, then you can afk the rest of the game.
2) No speed up button
3) Bugs. If you have two towers hit at exactly the same time (at least lvl 1 arrow towers), then only 1 of the hits deals damage.
So,
I like the general feel of the game. I think you could make it much more complex and it would be great, however maybe you just want to keep it simple. Either way, a few very important things:
1) The $ symbols and the background are WAY too close. I'd dim the background (moving image would be great, rather than static), and make the money symbol bigger, brighter, and maybe have a solid border around it (yellow center, gold border).
2) You need a tutorial or intro page of some sort
3) Some sort of bar showing level progress, otherwise it's really arbitrary
4) Sound effects rather than just music - not annoying ones because all you do the whole game is shoot, but maybe a sound for when you level up, when a new wave of baddies comes in, etc
Other things would be great, but I think that would be a good start :)
I like the concept, it's fast paced and different from a lot of control war games that I've seen.
Main thing though, it needs hotkeys. 1-9 for the buildings or qwe asd zxc, or something. It's fast paced, which is one of the main things that sets it apart from others in the same genre, but for fast paced you need hotkeys.
I am really not a fan of this game. Very buggy and extremely repetitive. What should have been a cool idea is a super flop. No real strategy to pursue, and rather boring.
Very imbalanced game, in my opinion. I beat the medium challenge badge simply by making one each of the basic 4 turrets next to eachother so they'd all combo with one another. Upgraded all to max weapons, then I'd just come back every five minutes or so to spend my money upgrading their other attributes and getting different enhancing towers. Took a ton of time, was very boring, very easy.
Great game & concept, but too easy imho. Just beat it in under 40 minutes without ever leaving my home base. I don't think one guy ever got to my home base either. Fun though :-) Cheers.
Thank you! I'm starting with the changes now :) Its great when somebody likes what you've made.
