I appreciate the comment about the balance, I worked quite a bit on that.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Wave 20 is pretty solid - that's where it gets pretty tough. I don't think it's possible to get much farther. My current highscore is wave 23."},{"author_name":"Leebo86","author_uid":"13975","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 1:53pm","epoch":1367243280,"text":"TD games aren't really my thing, but it's definitely one of the more &quot;complete&quot; games you'll see in this kind of game jam, so that's worthy of respect."},{"author_name":"AyCe","author_uid":"3852","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 2:05pm","epoch":1367244000,"text":"I quit at level 50 because there is still so much more to try out^^\r<br\/>Good choice with the upgrade system. I noticed how range is actually bad, because it makes towers target enemies which are already targeted by towers farther to the right thus wasting shots.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>It's actually also grey ^^"},{"author_name":"Gama11","author_uid":"16160","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 2:20pm","epoch":1367244900,"text":"@AyCe Wow, level 50 is impressive. I guess I'll have to try again using another strategy. The range thing is really interesting... I guess the tower AI isn't perfect, and if two towers happen to be charged and target the same enemy in a single frame, one shot will be wasted (assuming only one shot is needed to kill him).\r<br\/>However, towers only charge when an enemy is in range.. So yeah."},{"author_name":"rab236","author_uid":"7804","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 3:19pm","epoch":1367248440,"text":"A very nice, clean tower defense game"},{"author_name":"Merkoth","author_uid":"22272","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 3:20pm","epoch":1367248500,"text":"Very nice, good job!"},{"author_name":"aquilicoco","author_uid":"22746","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 3:21pm","epoch":1367248560,"text":"I like it."},{"author_name":"glisk","author_uid":"19092","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 3:22pm","epoch":1367248620,"text":"It's a really cool minimalist tower defense.
