Comments for Spacedust Defender

Yeah, the new harpoon mechanic is kinda necessary to keep the resonators away. :p

Damn, I should've made an achievement strictly for that. :O Good job!

No problem! Glad it helped!

Thank you, alarson! You're talking about the egg spawns or the fact that the borders aren't solid? Regarding the borders, at first they were solid but my friends would always make the same layout which consisted of 1 large corridor using 1 border. Now that I think, when the borders were solid the barricades used to create tiles around them so you could expand your platforms by stacking walls on the edges, so first I removed the solid borders as a balance thing and then when I removed the barricades ability to create additional platforms I didn't think about bringing them back. I will give it a thought and test something. :o

Thank you, Skyvader! :') I will do so after the next project, I just got so burned out on space thingies that I need to revert a bit to medieval fantasy stuff to regain my sanity as a game developer. :)) Thanks again!

Oh, I replied and went to sleep, 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)

Hey, you can try this maze ( https://i.imgur.com/tGLcLPt.png ) on wave 2 stack some more blasters and after wave 3 another mini-me is mandatory. Btw, the harpoon has both upgrades since it is necessary keep the pace with the resonator spawn rate. Hope it helps!

Thank you, shanked! :')

Hm, are you playing on firefox? This is a problem which is caused by third party cookies not being enabled.

You get the harpoon at level 12 not 9. :o *edit* Oh, I thought you were at the final boss which is level 15, at level 9 is the first boss. To kill that boss you need to use Trigger Plates in order to shock his head and make him open the eyes on it's tail. When the eyes are open they can be damaged by the main turret and mini-me's and deal 25% of the boss max health as damage when destroyed. You must build a medium-large maze with a minimum of 4 trigger plates since you want to make him open his eyes 4 times. Also, make sure the mini-me projectiels won't be blocked by his tail.

Rofl, btw, do you know you can unlock that achievement on level 1 by placing and selling walls? That wasn't something I intended but thought it's a sneaky way to cheat the system. :o

Hey, you are supposed to use the Trigger Plates to shock his head in order to open the eyes on it's tail. Those eyes are invulnerable when closed but if you manage to kill them while they're open the boss will take @25% max health. Try to make a big maze with Trigger Plates at key points in order to have a clear line between your turret, mini-mes and the eye. Sorry for the late reply.

normies get out

Hm, you can try placing the main turret closer to the portal and shoot the eggs since they die in 5 hit, also you can do the opposite and place the turret farther away with a clear line to the portal and shoot them down (they die in 1 hit).

Hey, I can't provide a layout right now since I am at work, sorry. :( I can give you some tips though, use 1 harpoon with the Corect Extractor upgrade for the first 3 waves then place another one for the resonators that get away and on the main defense try to stack blasters and some machine guns at the end of a corridor to chip away the remaining enemies. I usually build a long corridor alongside the right border. Hope it helps.

There is a comment made by MichaelChandra which has a layout example ( https://i.imgur.com/wrAQKjn.png ) kinda spoilerish though. If you want some tips then you can try using harpoons with the decimator upgrade and place disruptors in the place where the boss will be pinned down. :o

Are you talking about the little guys which are passing through the walls? They are only on levels 3-6. They are spawning from the Bluul Egg which is easily destroyed by 5-6 attacks. :o

Can you give me more details how this happened? On which level were you? There might be a problem with the font size on your browser.

Hey, are you talking about the snake boss? What small turret are you talking about? Please send me a pm if you want, in order to explain things better. Thanks!

Hey, those crescent things take 75 damage from every hit of your main turret so make sure that your main turret is within range to shoot them. Also place a Mini-Me since it does the same damage as your main turret. Hope it helps.

Thank you, Lanthane! :')

Here's a layout I made for another player, maybe it helps! *edit* https://i.imgur.com/xantOqt.png I am so dumb, I forgot to post the link..

Hey, for level 6 I used this layout: https://imgur.com/a/0JQcMkQ , all fully upgraded, on wave 2 build a Mini-Me near the main turret and focus the shiny bluuls. Hope it helps!

Hey, I think this is a Cookies issues, since the game doesn't seem to save your progress. I suggest enabling third party cookies or whitelist kongregate. :o

Thank you, RipSlug! :p

Haha, congrats! :') I am really curious about your maze layouts at level 7-8.

Aww, even my mother doesn't talk about me like that. :O Thank you, Gravier! :') I really appreciate it! While I was developing this game, I really lacked motivation, but now with people like you I won't run out of it for a while so I should be the thankful one. :')

The level 15 unlock should soon be changed. :o I am currently working on an :( and I am trying to add some things I originally had in mind for the game. Hopefully I can deliver this soon. Anyways, thank you!! :')

I tried to reproduce this but It didn't work, I might have an idea whats causing it but I am not sure, what I am sure of is that restarting the game should fix this 100%. :o

You can really feel the sense of achievements every time you give them the DED. ;)

Rofl, I tried so much to avoid words with "fi" in them but I still missed a few. You have no idea how much I wanted to use the word "fires" in some descriptions. Also, thank you for playing my game ! :')

I am not familiar with the mobile environment yet. Also, I think my game would be pretty hard to play on a mobile considering the controls and such. At this point I wish I had in plan a mobile release in the first phase of development. :(

Preplaced walls were placed there mainly to help the player, destroying them wasn't meant to be a feature, but many players reported it and I thought that maybe it can be a sneaky way to pass the level. The fi error is a font related error, it happens everywhere I use this font (notepad, webpage, etc).

You can press 'H' to hide the UI (couldn't fit every controls in the main menu unfortunately) and the boss description says shocking which implies the use of Trigger Plates (it's description makes reference to shock/electricty thingy)

*edit* The problem should be fixed! Thank you for reporting, it was just a slight mismatch (@3 pixels) between the path calculator and the spawn location. It showed the wrong path pretty rare but it happened, took me some time to figure it out. :o

Thank you! :')

Hm, I think this happens only with the lil' bluuls right? That's because the path is calculated from the position of the portal and the lil bluuls have a bit of velocity when spawning (for the visual) and when the velocity reaches 0 they calculate their path based on their current position which might result in a different path (not for all). They are the only the enemies with that pattern but they have only 1 health so they aren't a problem imo. Or is there another problem?

I forgot about them, when I first released the game I hastily made the sell feature and the platforms gave me a quite the trouble since when they're sold all the turrets build on them will remain there. I'll see what I can do.
