Is the last wave supposed to be beatable?
There aren't enough resources in the preceding waves to afford more than 4 maxed-out towers, which is not nearly enough.

Developer

The 21st wave is not supposed to be beatable it's more of a how much can your defenses hold up. Its randomised each time you play too. 

Ah.   One of your screenshots is showing an impossible state, I think :)

The endless wave overwhelms my stuff VERY quickly.   I'd suggest more pre-programmed waves ahead of the endless wave.  Or some other way to allow more use of the full game map and upgrade tree.

This was made for a game-jam in a week I have a full released plan with something similar.


The screenshot was pre-nerf.

It is supposed to be it's to test how strong your defences were.

Nice gameplay needs a tutorial for start and the art is like the old games but i like it :D

Developer

Thanks a lot I really appreciate it!

I rebalanced the game to be easier at the start and has a slower curve at the end. If you could retry the game and offer some feedback it would be much appreciated!

Nice! I played it again! I tried all combinations, linear, vertical, horizontal, zig-zag, etc. but couldn't get beyond 49k lol

Developer

That looks like a really cool design. Don't forget to upgrade towers they get a lot stronger with their max upgrades. And even though the rock towers seen slow they have a huge range and do a lot of damage. 


PS can I add your screenshot to screenshots? 

Submitted

Thanks for the tip! Sure, go ahead.

Submitted(+1)

This has to be one of the best submissions! I really like the gameplay and the music!

One thing that would be nice is some kind of ingame tutorial because it took me a little bit to realize that I can upgrade the walls

Developer

Yeah you can deduct points for that as I just didn't have the time to add that. 
Thanks anyways!

I get a Black screen, but only if I want to use the green Tower. 

But overall, this game is fantastic

Developer

Thank you so much. If the game was able to be updated it should be fixed now.

The bug should also be fixed!

Submitted(+1)

there is a bug, if you build a tower too close to another tower, i get a blackscreen. Other than that, I like the game quite a lot.

I got a blac kscreen after playing a while, but it was fun!

Developer

Really? That shouldn't happen do you remember what you were doing when that happened? 

Submitted

I was just playing through the rounds and I pressed the next round button and it black screened

Developer

I am sorry that happened. I'll look into it! 

Developer

The bug should be fixxed now.
