How does your game fit the theme?
The game has the player going to the component level of turrets to add microchips to upgrade them. This allows the player to build the turrets how they see fit through upgrades in the microchip "scale"

The game is in dire need for balancing. One basic turret is enough up to the 5th wave and I could place 3 turrets in one corner. Menus are neat! Simetimes buggy, I could hear the sound of choosing a turret behind the upgrade menu.
Maybe scaling up with the upgrades would help the game fit the theme... Or something else. Right now it's Ravine with different upgrade menu.
Thank you for your feedback! I think I needed to dedicate more time to testing the game. Definitely something I'm gonna keep in mind
I agree with LaVegas, the idea is cool and simple, it fits the theme, but a spending a bit more time in the end polishing would surely made a difference, tho the is still cool
Couple of points:
* You can buy chips but not be able to place them
* It would benefit from having a speedup time button since I was on like Wave 10, but nothing was challenging me to scramble to put stuff down and build defenses
* it would be cool if the chip-upgrade grid would get bigger, ie scale up
But otherwise, great presentation and functionality
Thank you for the feedback!
Quiet a few bugs here. Balancing of the money is also a bit off. It is way too easy to buy stuff. The beginning feels very slow. I'm not sure, if the waves get harder.
Overall a nice idea to have the upgrades of the towers be modular. It does not feel much different from a basic tower defense game though. A bit more polish and features could have made a lot of difference. That you for you submission!
thankyou for your comment and thankyou for playing!
