@Deep, to beat ninjas, use Meteor around 5 times, if that doesnt work build temples (with +mana upgraded fully) and then use meteors again.
In my opinion all crossroad levels are the hardest, lv15 is far easier than others i say. Brilliant isnt hard to get, and the max lv is 40 i believe, keep this comment alive by pressing '+'

Great game. I had a lot of fun with it the only part I didn't like was the "cat death" sfx which you don't notice at first but after a half hour starts to get to you a little definitely 4/5!

I thought the last two levels should be switched in their order.... the second to last level was WAY more difficult than the last. The final level was somewhat anti-climatic.

There is a stupidly simple way to Brilliant a lv14 ninja boss. First, you unload 5 Meteors on him, emptying your mana pool. Then... then you build enough Temples with "20 mana when you build a Temple" skill to get mana back, and use that fresh mana to meteor his rearside down! Just be sure to clear you some Rock space in advance so you can spam temples easily.
Just keep this comment alive, some people look like needing it badly ;)))

build a tower near entrance (near all entrances if there are more then 1), best to build is temple or den, build many towers close to ur gems, careful to make them cover as much of the path to them, when a ninja comes is first hit by the front tower and become invisible, and by the time it reach ur other towers it become visible again

yay Congratulations! You just won the Didn't Touch My Gems Badge and 30 points! It was hard. In my opinion level 14 is the hardest to get brilliant

Lvl 14 is too tough for brilliant :( ninja boss always sneaking past my towers. 3 meteors with full upgrades just isn't enough to kill him. Gotta get lucky I guess.

First of all,great game,in my opinion the best tower defense game I've ever played. There's not a huge amount of towers,no maze needs to be created, a balanced skill tree,nice graphics,the different ground system,... They all make for a very earned 5/5.
Secondly there are some things I would add,though much of these have been mentioned : Hotkeys (Mostly for the spells),Reset Skill button (There are some levels where your normal balance doesn't work),Level Editor (Should be very easy with this game), A survival level and a special bonus for maxed towers.
I hope to see more of this. ;)

I just got the last hard badge (15 brilliant) on level 27
I rated it 5/5
Screen from the end of the 15th lvl: http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/8099/gems.png
In my opinion:
1. game is too easy
2. undead/crypt is way too overpowered because of FEAR
3. demons/temple is getting exp to slow, cundead/crypt to fast
4. ninjas and assasins are much more challenging then the rest
5. if there werent those ninjas you could win every game only withpurecrypt/undead - with ninjas you need some upgraded fireballs and some den/temple towers near gems
6. bosses are way to easy (with fear) execpt ninja bosses ()
Suggestions:
1. stronger creeps (except for ninja and assasin)
2. more creeps on higher lvlel (except for ninja and assasin)
3. stronger bosses (except for ninja) perfaps some fear immunity/more hp/huge armor etc
4. more levels
5. bonus in exp for brilliant
6. weaker fear
7. endless wave mode just for highscores (for FANatics)
Vote this up if you like it.

I juste discovered that you can hold the SHIFT key when you cast a spell. This way there is less mouse moving around and no more delay between cast.
When I learned it, i did brillant on level 14 and 15.
To have brilliant on lvl 14 you need to have catapult at the entrance. They will launch before the nionja disapear. Also , a burning temple is usefull.

@tnikolai -> you can't let the enemy even touch your gem. If they take it, even if you manage to teleport it back, you'll get excellent.

You can get money very fast after a while in this game, by maxing all ur mana skills (regen, max mana etc.) and then going for the green skill "cut down mastery". With this combo u should never run out of money, as long as there are trees.

make sure the first thing to hit a boss ninja is a temple with the irradiation power, that way a fully upgraded meteor does 540 damage to him and you can kill him in 4!

You can click the meteor spell, press shift, and just 1 click meteors on the ninja bosses until your mana is empty (5 spells with full mana and lowest meteor price). Once you have that down, brilliant rating at every level is a piece of pie.

People you really need to learn to read directions, there is a hotkey, just hold Shift after you select a spell or building, then click as many times as you want to cast the spell or build the building....

To kill a ninja boss use the meteor spell. If you are lucky and have full mana you will kill the boss :) ( depends on its health). I hope this help :)

Defeating boss ninjas relies too much on chance. Either you freeze them (or perhaps fear them) or you cannot get brilliant. Hotkeys would be great for dropping meteors on them; as it is, it's very hard to drop four on them before they touch your gems.

hard badge is impossible. last ninja boss is invisible until gems. only chance is to freeze or disarm him at frist shot, but thats hard to make.

Easily one of the best games I've ever played!
My one bit of criticism, as many other people have said, is the Ninja Boss and it's balancing. 5 seconds is a HUGE amount of time on these maps, especially when there is very few ways of actually slowing down a boss. Map 14 is very frustrating. It only takes 3 seconds for the boss to reach a gem pile, from either direction. Even if it is slowed down, it can still reach the gem pile in 4 seconds. Coupled with the fact that it has 2500 HP, meteor can only take out 2000 of it.
This means the ONLY way to get a perfect map, is if the first hit from a crypt freezes it. You have to go 50 waves only to have a 25% chance of freezing it. Even at level 34, I've tried all possible combinations for the front 2 towers and this is what I've come up with.
My suggestion: Do not allow Ninja Bosses to have speed. A 5 second cloak is more than enough challenge on most maps. Other than that, I can't wait for the next game in this series! Great work!

Just started playing. I grew tired of the 30mil defense games. This is different, with cutting down forests, spells and a bit of humour on the enemies. 4/5!

For the love of god, add a slow aura or invis detect... Getting a brilliant on level 11 is fricken impossible... The last boss gets to your gems while invis
