As soon as you get the 'wind-up'-bot you can just place 4 of them at the start and win the last levels within seconds. I still tried to check out the other bots and found it quite fun to build defenses! :smiley: ","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":1165205,"author_name":"artillepsy","author_uid":"artillepsy","epoch":1759833076,"text":"Heyo! I liked the graphics, the sound design (especially music) is addictive.\nDidn't understand at the very beginning where i should drag my bots from, but the second time i succeeded. Also, after losing the game went to a loop and didn't restart? I had to reload the page\n\nGood job guys!","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":1165208,"author_name":"Celian","author_uid":"celian","epoch":1759833127,"text":"Hey i just finished the game it was pretty cool but the AI is too easy to beat ! Also the mouse can just one shot the light bulb which instantly win it might be a bit too overpowered. Also the player bots maybe shouldn't give that much scraps because you can easily spam any bot without thinking\n\nOverall it was pretty cool but it could be balanced a bit to make it last longer !

First few levels felt very tight, yet last two once I just won by placing 4 mice that just destroyed one enemy base and that was enough. Another little nitpick is that money (cogs) looks like something I can also drag on the play field and not a resource, so it was a little bit disorienting. However, it's a nice little game that definitely can be expanded into a more complex Plants vs. Zombies kind of game, but with both sides attacking. :)","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":1171252,"author_name":"Jo Bettaque","author_uid":"jo-bettaque","epoch":1759909515,"text":"Fun game with good presentation, a little easy once i figured out that i could just overwhelm the enemy on all lanes but really reminded me of Plants vs Zombies","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":1188944,"author_name":"gagapete","author_uid":"gagapete","epoch":1761338605,"text":"The idea behind this game is great, the graphics are nice and the music is pretty fitting. Only downside is the enemy AI, may it's the game balance. After the first two levels the AI was almost exclusively deployed defense units which made the game easy.
