Well. I did it. I bet the game with a score of 75. All I can say now is. Another one please! Tips of mine: You can easily kill shiny bluuls by just funneling them into your main defence (if you're using blasters). Resonators are a bit harder to deal with due to how large of an AOE they make. Best to try and have your defence as far as possible. Machine guns + a harpoon to stun will make short work of them... just make sure to get core extractor so they will be pinned as soon as they spawn. Blasters work best if you have them pointed across multiple pathways instead of straight along one.

I just now realized that they're called bluuls becuase they're blue. How have I only now noticed this 1 year and 9 months after release.

Well made hopeslicer. You might want to have a little help with your grammar; for example, "ded" is not an English word. I like the planning and strategy aspects of placing obstacles. Thanks!

Noticing a weird glitch with harpoons: they miss sometimes. And it's not that they almost hit, it's that they shoot straight forward instead of aiming at the resonator.

Has potential, but the pathing is still rather wonky. No rating as the dev obviously cares a LOT about this project and is continuously improving it!

wont let me upgrade my gun. cant even beat level 2 without upgrading my gun i've tried so many buildings. nothing seems to work. i clicked and double clicked and shiftclicked. restarted. cleared my cache. nothing will help so it must be a bug. cant even upgrade my peashooter turret. so sad about this

So l made a simple spiral on level four, and had two walls overlapping each other as there was no other way to properly enclose my turret for the maze l wanted to run, and things were going perfect.... until the enemies decided the two overlapping walls didn't exist and flew right through them to my core, skipping my second turret and the second lap around my core entirely. Please fix this horrendous bug. l don't enjoy having to do long drawn out lines from my core to the enemy spawn every level because the game is busted and l can't trust spirals.

Having trouble with level 12, tried traps and blasters, mini guns and machine guns but cant seem to get those damn vanguard and phasors killed before they get 100% resistance. Any tips? 5/5 btw, great effort 3.5 for the game 1.5 for your dedication to the community, you will go far with this attitude.

Would you ever consider longer missions where instead of counting down health, count up? Had some difficulty with level 4 until i realized i had to make guys go completely out of the way and place a turret near me

Im not sure what im doing wrong on level 6, the buffer guys are way too slow(they dont get in range of any towers) and the guys they buff are way too fast, to the point that the buffed units are always past my line of defense LONG before the buffers are even inside of it

@Chairchucker Yes, if you look at the enemy descriptions in the Data, you'll see that the pulsating eggs spawn 6 flyers once they pop.

@huck2 There's a few posts with spoiler images for solutions. The primary thing is that you can't pierce the shield, but the right upgrade of harpoons lets you damage through the wire. Combine that with a maze where the enemy frequently gets hit by them and bam.

Additional comments: a clearly visible crosshair instead of the common arrow (which tends to get almost invisible during the fights) would be nice, as well as a clearer target distinction (the hit area is actually larger than the enemy itself).

@CGXVI I constructed mazes where my big guns would all fire at the primary maze real well unless Decimator was in the way to kill the second portal. Meant no having to aim. =)
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Thanks, that is never made clear and searching comments didn't help. Also, bug: When placing the main cannon at the start of a stage, right clicking will make the background grid go green.

Great game, really enjoyed it. It seems, however, that the Decimator upgrade for the Harpoon is only beneficial on level 15. I also feel that level 9 and 15 are way too easy considering they're boss levels. Sure it took me a couple of tries to understand what needed to be done, but once that is figured out it's basically no challenge at all. Levels 13 and 14 were the most fun since they're easily the hardest. Great job. 4+/5.
Thank you! :')
The Decimator upgrade is there to make your life easier not necessary.
Yeah, you are right about the bosses, I underestimated the design difficulty of a boss in a maze td (both art and gameplay) and ended up barely managing to make them a constant experience without being unfair or buggy.
I tried to keep a pretty constant difficulty, but I should've made from the start a difficulty slider. That would've let me room for more depth and such. Will try to take everything I learned onto next project. :')
Thank you again!

UUGGHHH this game is so hard. But I finished it. Took me a week OMG wtf. Anyways, thanks for this game. Improved my IQ
This problem is related to Third Party Cookies. They have to be enabled in order to receive input and save the progress. The input part I don't understand, is an engine thing but the progress really needs the cookies :o . I understand why browsers disable cookies but for trusted sites like kong, armorgames and such there shouldn't be any problem whitelisting them.

A nice and entertaining game with good retro graphics but a few issues: from Level 7 on, the game gets pretty tough (haven't made 5/5 on 7 so far) and that snake/worm on LVL9...really don't know how to kill that on so it's really ded. ;-) It would als be nice to move the selectors for weapons and walls out of the playfield and make the clouds a wee bit smaller.

5/5 Really fun and original with interesting challenges. Took me awhile but I got a perfect score on every level but I can't kill the Gem Baron, any tips?
Thank you, Ajbael! :')
I am late with the reply because I dropped dead on my bed yesterday but if you're still looking for tips: Use the Disruptor turret in places where the boss is pinned down and build 2-3 additional Mini-Me's. I usually build like 3 harpoons making sure their range intersect the maze path's 2+ times.
Here are some ss' with different layouts if you're interested: https://i.imgur.com/wrAQKjn.png , https://i.imgur.com/FG7TXY6.png .
Hey, the trick to kill that boss is to pin it down with harpoons and place disruptors in places where he's stunned. I guess you know about the damage transfer mechanic of the harpoons. MichaelChandra made an optimal layout which looks like this https://i.imgur.com/wrAQKjn.png or superminimalistic as he calls it. :D (spoiler tho)
I made this comment for another player which also struggled on level 15. Hope I am not too late with the reply. :')

I love this game, maybe add some upgrade system that permanently increases fire rate, or whatever. I just feel like it is a good idea that will help players that are new to the whole td games. Overall, amazing game!
Thank you, max! :') I now know the players love upgrades but when I was developing the game I added and removed a permanent upgrade system like 2-3 times because I felt like it was a bad idea. I don't think I'll be adding anything new soon since my development time got considerably lower since I started a new job. :( Anyway, I am glad you enjoyed it and thank you again! :')

I'm having an extremely hard time building a maze when the route changes just from me putting down the blocks, and then going over the red zone I have no access to lay down blocks upon.
Well, you shouldn't rely on the red zone for your maze since it is not solid and bluuls can pass through. There are just some constraints here and there but the map should permit to make a proper maze/defense. :o
Thank you! :') (sorry for the late reply tho)
Hm, the way to go is to place 5+ trigger plates with a bit of distance between them and a few mini-me's which should have a sharp angle to the snake body. When the main head is shocked those eyes on it's tail open and can be killed fairly easily, dealing like 25% max health damage to the snake. :o

Loved this game! It was fun and mostly quick - and I here you are working on an infinite mode!
Two things I might suggest is allowing you to select what tech cards you want to show up, or at least allow one or two to not show up - and to turn the extra pin damage into a tech card, instead of a static increase, which just made it feel like such a huge jump for something sort of easy to do.
Just my 2 cents! Loved the game overall and can't wait for more!
Thank you! :') That pin damage tech card is such a good idea. :o
I was working and tried to untangle the messy code I wrote but I failed :(, I managed to make some progress on the infinite mode but I realized that I need way more time to finish and deliver it (potentially fixing like 51512 bugs after :o) which atm I don't have since I started a new job. Right now I am focusing all of my dev time on my next little project and I want to cosnider Spacedust Defender wrapped up.

it's kinda dumb that you can't put a floor down where the center is out of bounds... like 3/4 of it is fine, but the center isn't...

Okay, now I see what the tech cards are. I was just offered one of the one unlocked in the achievements..."giff turret", which isn't very good. Is there a way to re-lock it?
;)
Unfortunately you can't re-lock it. I thought it was pretty decent :( you can even sell the turret for 175 credits. I might redo/add some new cards in the next few days, see how that works out. :o Also, thank you! :')

Great game, glad to see the developer is so active...but we could use some more explanation on what "tech cards" are and how to use them. I have some according to the achievements, but I don't actually see the cards themselves anywhere.

This game is an enjoyable twist to the copy pasta that is Tower Defense games, today. Keep up the work, would love to see another game from your mind.
Thank you, Andy! :') It is impossible not to keep up the work right now after reading so many nice comments. I can say the motivation bar will be pretty full for a while haha. :')
Thank you, Zdravko! :') Haha, I used those texts as placeholders and when I released the game I forgot to change them but luckily people liked them. ( the secret is out )

Legit these shiny bulls are messing me the heck up... here i am 5/5 5/5 5/5 5/5 5/5 and shiny bulls come out and im like SCREWED ;-; ive sat here 3 days and still not getting past it
Hey, the first wave should look something like https://i.imgur.com/xantOqt.png without the Mini-Me, then after wave 1 one Mini-Me is mandatory since you want to kill the shiny bluuls as early as possible. Hope it helps!

What is the circle thing on L8 that costs $250? As far as I can tell, there's no description or label anywhere and clicking on it doesn't give more info. Dmg buff? Something else? Slower? Testing hasn't given a clear answer
The Disruptor, amplifies damage taken by enemies within the circle by 25%. On main screen if you press the Main button you should get the info by hovering it's icon under Structures. :o
