Under rating threshold (show) Dread mode is bugged, it will not let you change the speed or advance to the next wave

Under rating threshold (show) I'm confused with the "Upgrade" skills. is there a way to actually upgrade your towers or is it an automatic thing when you purhcase it from the bulidings.

+ - !

(0)

Developer response from Barbasu

At the start you upgrade them through passives and talents (Mastery in Technology increases talent max level)

Under rating threshold (show) Armor passive does not seem to do anything. i have armor 42 and still have 0 armor in the waves..

Developer response from Barbasu

Thank you, it will be corrected in the next patch.

Under rating threshold (show) hard reset but the rebirth point upgrades' costs stuck at the values i previously had them in

I will look into that, thank you.

Under rating threshold (show) wait wait wait... there's no offline production unless you research it a .03% per pop? Who wants to sit here and be BORED for that long?

+ - !

(-2)

Developer response from Barbasu

There is offline production as long as you have the specific production building unlocked.

Under rating threshold (show) No option to turn scientific notations off? Well, guess I won't be playing this then. Sorry, I know I'm in the minority here, but I prefer the full numbers, as high as it's possible to get them. And when you physically can't fit them on the screen anymore, I'd still prefer lettered abbreviations (T = Trillion, B = Billion, ETC) to sci-note.

+ - !

(-2)

Developer response from Barbasu

Thanks for feedback, I might add other notations.

Under rating threshold (show) Any way to abandon a chosen daily? I made the mistake of picking a daily pretty much straight away, seems I'm stuck with one requiring 2 hour playtime that will reward me with 0.3 turret parts. :D

+ - !

Developer response from Barbasu

There is not, at least for at the moment.

Under rating threshold (show) The more I play the more I like this. Some improvements have already been done I guess.

Dec. 30, 2019

Under rating threshold (show) One point of confusion: Do I need to unblock a technology before I can upgrade it? That seems a bit malicious. How about simply making the first upgrade cost inclusive? (Am I missing something?)

+ - !

(-1)

Developer response from Barbasu

It is a bit confusing, I will change that as well.

petesahooligan

Dec. 30, 2019

Under rating threshold (show) I feel like, from a player-experience standpoint, there are too many different kinds of commodities all at once. I would rather have a healthy pace of upgrades that each introduce new concepts quickly, to get to know all the screens... THEN have things begin to build complexity. Instead, it feels like I'm immediately exposed to all of the complexity — even areas that I am nowhere close to needing (yet). This can all be hidden to new players. There are a lot of familiar and unfamiliar parts to this idle that MAY be reaching too far... but with a better introduction (beyond the thorough tooltips), this could be a masterpiece.

Under rating threshold (show) i will withold rating for now. Interesting looking start, but I don't like all of the scrolling, game needs to be made smaller, even at 1080P I have to scroll a lot to do anything in the game. Needs to be fixed asap

Under rating threshold (show) If I click on the "I'm Lost" from the right-hand dashboard on the gate (action) stage, within a moment my life is overrun and it offers a rebirth. (Of course, I can now just hit "try again," thank you very much.)

Under rating threshold (show) You can purchase upgrades to the turrets, but they dont seem to do anything. I had 3 levels of the start turret purchased, checked the stats, then bought the 4th level of it and nothing changed. And I dont see any way to upgrade the turret levels themselves...

+ - !

Developer response from Barbasu

If you mean Mastery in technology, itincreases mastery level aka maximum level in talents.

Under rating threshold (show) so this just screams "the perfect tower" all over it just with another twist on i..

Does that many every other idle defense game says the same? :)

Under rating threshold (show) lagging so much on my i9 9900k and 2080 ti. NEEDS optimization

+ - !

(0)

Developer response from Barbasu

Well, it doesn't lag for most people so I highly doubt its due to the CPU/GPU but rather the browser.

Under rating threshold (show) Game requires third party cookies. Why?

+ - !

(0)

Developer response from Barbasu

Does it? There is nothing in it that wasn't in DI and DI2. It might have to do with Kongregate and ads.

Under rating threshold (show) can't use the swamper, the sound is soooo annoying, yes I want sound!

Under rating threshold (show) when compression is on, there is no way to remove it? it stay active forever? i want to remove it ...

You cannot turn it off while there are enemies spawning/alive at the moment.

Under rating threshold (show) wheres the start button to start the level?

+ - !

(0)

Developer response from Barbasu

You need to click on Gate in Town (right side). Click on the "I'm lost" button to display a little info.

Under rating threshold (show) So RP are a really important resource early game and your base gain is Wave Number*0.85 rounded down. This should somehow increase with Wave Number. Maybe 1% or 0.1% per Wave Number or whatever. This would be a good early game incentive to push for higher waves instead of repeating until 50 and rebirthing constantly. I think this would make the early game much more fun and fast.

+ - !

(1)

Developer response from Barbasu

There is a bonus but it starts at higher waves, I do like this idea and will implement it shortly. Thanks.

SirDistic

Dec. 30, 2019

Under rating threshold (show) The first thing you do is replay until you get a few RP. Then rebirth. Go to University and spend those points on Damage. Then keep advancing waves until you get more RP. Continue using points to unlock turrets and increasing damage and speed.

Dec. 30, 2019

Under rating threshold (show) Ok, how do you upgrade towers? The mastery I can buy in school does not affect stats.

+ - !

(2)

Developer response from Barbasu

Mastery increases maximum level in Talents (Workshop), at the very start turrets can only go to level 5.

Scherazade

Dec. 30, 2019

Under rating threshold (show) How did you beta test this? There is nothing happening at the beginning, you can even lose against wave 1. Also if I set this on auto retry and restart the wave starts when i have no tower. I have to be very quick because if one enemy slips through it's game over.

+ - !

(0)

Developer response from Barbasu

I've tested it on my PC and itch and there were no issues on both. I will be releasing a patch soon.

Oeffinger

Dec. 30, 2019

Under rating threshold (show) Auto Retry should be turned off when entering a map. Enemies appear automatically, before you setup your first tower

Developer response from Barbasu

Will be corrected shortly, thanks.

Under rating threshold (show) How often does the game save?

Developer response from Barbasu

Every rebirth/surrender and 60 seconds.

Under rating threshold (show) The base turret is very inconsistent, it just stops shooting whenever it wants to

+ - !

Developer response from Barbasu

This should not be an issue shortly. Thanks.

TheRudrick

Dec. 30, 2019

Under rating threshold (show) ... So I bought upgrade to shoot 2 projectiles at the same time for 5 points and guess what, even 3 enemies at the very beginning made it through this time!

Under rating threshold (show) One can not even pass 1st level 100% times at the beginning, because one enemy slips through.

+ - !

Developer response from Barbasu

I will release a patch soon, which should remove this issue completely.

MoratGurgeh

Dec. 29, 2019

Under rating threshold (show) I love the concept of buildings in the 'back' you can upgrade, but the balance is waaaay off. Plus too many miniscule upgrades (been beaten to death on those in other games). At the moment it's so grindy even a grindy Grindfellow might balk at it. I'll pass for now, but if you continue developing it I'll look again later. Unrated but 3/5 at the moment, with potential awesomeness waiting in the wings if you can make it work and still be fun.

+ - !

(3)

Developer response from Barbasu

Thanks for feedback, if you have any ideas on which areas of the game to change/improve it will help speed up the process greatly.

Under rating threshold (show) Warning this DEV is know to abandon a game without notification still one of the the few im boycotting

Developer response from Barbasu

That's true, but it will not happen again. I do however spend long hours trying to fix everything as soon as possible.

joniassassin

Dec. 29, 2019

Under rating threshold (show) Oh my oh my, it needs lots and lots of reworks this one, hopefully the dev gets it right, otherwise it will be really tough to drag people into this one

+ - !

Developer response from Barbasu

It would be great if you pointed out these areas so I can actually rework them. Thank you.

Under rating threshold (show) Ten minutes into it, I still can't find how to start a level. I get some levels are "dailies" or need unlocks, what are levels I can do right now??

Developer response from Barbasu

There is a tiny tutorial, which explains what to do. I will update it.

You get gems in Robo mode only.

Under rating threshold (show) This is one of the most interesting idle defense games I've played and it shows potential to become even better. Nerfing the raw damage upgrade might be a good start. Great job, Barbasu! 5/5

Dec. 29, 2019

Under rating threshold (show) The fact you have to intentionally die for RP and then setup everything again over and over isn't fun. Game feels way too grindy even at very start.

+ - !

(45)

Developer response from Barbasu

You are absolutely right, which is why there will be a "try again" option after the patch.

Dec. 29, 2019

Under rating threshold (show) Not bad. A few ideas: - Dont start a new game with auto advance on and at higher speed, as you have to buy the first tower pretty fast then. The other option would be to have the sentry tower pre-built in the first slot. - For some reason the base has a range even though it apparently has no damage. - If I retry a wave for which my dps is barely enough I always lose once in a while, I think there is a bug there somewhere which causes towers to lose shots somehow.
