Might be nice to have a start button so that you could actually read the info on the towers before the baddies start a comin'.\r\rAlso I'm curious about some of the mechanics re: stats on the different types of baddies and if they actually get stronger as the game goes on or if there are just more of them. I like to track these things when I play tower defenses, but that might just be me.\r\rooo, also had to make a 4shared account to download which was sort of aannoying"},{"author_name":"marcuiulian13","author_uid":"19514","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 8:03am","epoch":1367308680,"text":"Thank you for the feedback!\rActually yeah, the stats are increased for the mobs by a very simple algorythm:\rstage <= 10 -> mob.baseHealth * (stageNumber * 2)\rstage > 10 -> mob.baseHealth * stageNumber\rBut also, their number is bigger.\r\rI'm sorry for the hosting, bt i couldn't think of a better website.

It seems to be pretty well done overall. The lack of sound and some kind of tutorial (e.g. a few text messages introducing you to the basic mechanics or anything) are a little sad but not too dramatic, since most people know how to play TDs anyway.\rHowever, one thing that did bother me was the ~balancing. Firstly there's the problem that the better you play, the easier it gets (the game is actually harder for less skilled players - additionally to their lack of skill, that is). I worked on a TD game once and solved this by making sure that for each enemy reaching your base, you get money as well, and even more than if you had killed him. This way, as soon as your towers are too weak for the enemies, you get a little extra support. Secondly I really wish there were some pauses between the stages to calm down and rebuild your towers if necessary.\rStill, seeing a complete and well-working TD game, even with appealing graphics in this game jam was a nice surprise. :)"},{"author_name":"deeJayUA","author_uid":"18821","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 11:04am","epoch":1367405940,"text":"Sorry my english on last post, game looks too easy, you should create multiple path for ememies!!\rBut it still the best game I played so far on LD26!!

Now i'm working on a android version of it. When it's done, i will try to post it here.\r\r@ShellfishGames Thank you! I will try to make a complex formula for mobs health, and will try to add upgrades to towers.\r\r@deeJayUA As i said, i will try to redo the health formula because at some point (stage 35+) the game gets very easy."},{"author_name":"Thijsku","author_uid":"16151","time":"May 3, 2013 @ 10:02am","epoch":1367575020,"text":"It was fun to play!
