Core Sector can you update ghost hacler to allow youy to get the transcoder? that weapon is like the slicer and tracer you should add a function where you place the tracer on the slicer or slicer on the tracer and it becomes a transcoer or decoder slicer and tracer would make transcoder because the name decoder and tracer but the upgrade slots are like the slicer and tracer both combined and they are both lasers.

Finished Ghost Hacker 2 yesterday and I’m about halfway through the challenge mode… I have to say this is hands down the BEST TD game I’ve ever played, and one of the best games in general I’ve played in a while. I can’t find anything to complain about; I really enjoyed everything about this game. The towers and upgrades were diverse and fun to mix and match, and the enemies were unique and each presented a different challenge. The upgrade color system in the first one was interesting and added balance to the towers, but I really like the change to one color upgrades in Ghost Hacker 2. The game, from the towers and upgrades, to the enemies, to the level layout, all felt well thought out and balanced. The story is nice and made me laugh at times, especially the level names and descriptions. I also enjoyed the pacing of the game and the challenges it presented, setting the difficulty perfectly. It allowed for freedom in your playstyle while at the same time punishing you if you did not adapt to the changing enemies and level layout. There were times where I would go into a level and get utterly crushed for having a weak offense, but through reevaluation of my strategy, trial and error, looking at the hint, and going over the enemy stats again, I would come out on top. The walkthrough was also a nice touch; I prided myself on never looking at it and had lots of fun struggling through levels that tested your skill and taught you about the game in the process. I had to look at it on level 21 though, that one was really though lol. As I got further into levels, the game makes you truly realize the strengths of all the towers and upgrades. An example of this is the compressor, which i thought was just a basic weak tower, but slap on a few damage upgrades and upgrade the tower and you’re looking at some inexpensive high burst to get around annoying healers and regenerators ^-.

Finished Ghost Hacker today, probably my favorite TD game and my favorite flash game, very well done! If there are plans to release another Ghost Hacker, it would be awesome to have an edit mode, where you can create levels and let other people play them. I think this would add a lot to the game! Plus, you could charge a small fee to give people extra storage to save more levels.

Thanks for the answer to my question (not enough program slots in level 36). I didn’t expect the developer to answer! I had been playing in challenge mode for so long I forgot there was an upgrade for program slots!

You’ve got a great game, by the way. The complexity is amazing, and the game controls and response are perfect. The game really makes you think about how to strategize and prioritize upgrades to handle each type of monster. That makes it quite satisfying to beat each level. I can think of improvements for most flash games, but very few for yours. Perhaps some stronger tie between the levels and the story? For example, maybe instead of granting new programs automatically, you need to solve sidequests (“the search for the transcoder”). That would add RPG elements that would require players to balance the desire to finish the main line story with the enticement of completing sidequests, some of which might be insanely difficult !

But that’s not really a criticism; that’s more of a “nice to have” if you had unlimited resources and the ability to make a huge game. I completely realize this game is flash, and it’s free.

Amazing game and great job.

hey, just running through levels post-game, i dont think the upgrade Optimizer works as intended, as any tower with damage > 5 benefits more from Optimizers with any amount of Damage upgrades, aka, 3 optimizers is better than 2 optimizers and 1 Damage upgrade

Also, the total damage increase per optimizer upgrade at max level is 67%, stacking multiplicatively. because its actually cooldown reduction rather than attack speed mathematically

idk, it might be intentional, but it is by far trumping most other upgrades. I thought it would make more sense for it to stack additively
