A 10/10. The idea of having everything worth 1 life is superb. The towers are great. Maps are varied and challenging for a first time try. Truly needs strategy to win. It definitely is an all-around great game. You should make a second version with more levels and towers. I really had to think about what to do when I lost. Making paths with towers is also quite fun. It's like Tower Defense meets Choose your path almost.

Again 10/10!

P.S. If you haven't played this you really should. It's really a great game to play in spare time.

I agree. It was very challenging coming up with paths and especially challenging when you have to think of it on the spot and are given a short amount of time. I also gave this games a 10/10!

I do like it, the first level was very easy (well...it is the first...O_o)...but 50 waves for a level is a tad too much if you're just casual gaming.

I do agree that the 50 waves is a lot but, the waves are different and provide a challenge.


Also on the last level if you beat it, did anyone else not get the boss achievement after killing it?

Solid mazer, I'm trying to get all achievements but can't beat last level. I got to wave 77 and one helicopter slipped through. Very frustrating, I had to quit. I tried horizontal and vertical maze but didn't manage to beat it.

Can we juggle in thsi game? It's a free build game, but I think the AI is different...

Yea! I'm disappointed. Also someone commented that you can completely block the path for one side in last level. Well that one is true as well.
If author decides to make a sequel he/she should add keyboard shortcuts. There's too much clicking at the beginning of the level.

Yeah, I found you could block one half of the last level. Nice job with those medals.

Hmm...for the 3rd level, what's the general strategy? I don't play desktop TD much, which I know has this type of level, but you can't wall them in easily with 2 seperate entrances and exits on diff sides...maybe you funnel them into 1 path or something?

Alright, I know one thing now...
This game is even harder than the beginnings of gemcraft =|

That's the strategy. And direct them over the middle because on that way you can use the strong middle to shoot airplanes which come from both sides.

D:

It doesn't work, the terrain especially screws it up...

I tried it, started out iwth only ballistics, tried with a plasma/missile tower, to no avail...

And you can block like, 2-3 sides well, but you have to leave 1 side not blocked...and the fact there are 2 entrances, and each can take EITHER exit makes it harder

To make it more challenging, try to get all medals on a level using only the basic machine gun tower. 'Tis fun!
