You are right, it can take a while until more heroes enter the castle. I'm going to do a post compo version and will change this.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>But image how repetitive the work is, when all castle engineers are at work. Every one, just standing in front of his or her own button. Waiting for the light to go off, just to press the button again. Just to wait again...

The difficulty curve could be adjusted a little bit, but otherwise, it's already a fun game. After a while I didn't even bother using the first four traps anymore because I couldn't get over there in time, so they became kind of useless.
