Love the glowy phosphor effect

Developer

Thank you. That's exactly what I was going for. I really appreciate the feedback.

Well done on getting this put together. I see that wave 3 is still an issue, hopefully you will be able to get that fixed soon.

Developer(+1)

Thank you. I am still working on getting the bugs resolved. When I have finished there will be an update section added to the description of the game that way anyone that comes to the page can see there has been an update. I will also try to reach out to everyone through comments as well so a notification will be sent out for the updated version. :)

I struggled a little with hitting the enemies but liked it overall. Good job

Developer

Thank you. I need to look at the hit boxes again and see if they are too small and maybe increase them a bit. I'm glad you liked it and that it was fun. Thanks again.

alot of potential, game just sits there on wave 3 for me, I tried multiple times. I love tower games so I hope it gets fixed 

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Definitely excited about finishing this one and fixing and resolving these bugs and just overall troublesome issues that I had before submitting. I didn't want to miss out on the submission deadline, so I knew of a few of these bugs before submitting the game. I didn't have enough time to implement any solutions unfortunately so I am currently working on them. Am hoping to resolve them quickly as soon as I have a solution and I've tested it and it's fixed. A new version will get uploaded and hopefully you will get notified about it. I do appreciate all of the feedback that you've left. It's gray and refreshing to hear that you love Tower defense games and that this is a game you're looking forward to means a lot. Thank you very much.

I understand it's some sort of tower defense game, but I'm not sure how to make the turrets work because they don't fire. Nice music, excellent SFX. The graphics are too bright, and after a while, they get annoying. After the fourth wave, the positioning screen doesn't appear, making it impossible to continue the game.

The turrets shooting was one of the bugs I just could not figure out before submitting the game. I was very disappointed with not being able to get that working properly. I do apologize. I hope that you still at least enjoyed the game in its current state. However, I am working to fix these issues and will upload a new version of the game as soon as I have the time to fix all of that as well as the getting stuck bug. I know that what triggers that is when you build a node or a turret and the sever enemy which is the orange one comes and destroys the line. For some reason the game goes into wire building mode but doesn't bring up the UI and it just gets stuck there. I have been able to playtest the game and get through all 10 waves by not building anything so I tested everything in terms of each wave to make sure that it all worked, but I could not figure out what was causing that bug before submission time in terms of freezing after Wave 3 or 4 once a power connection has been severed. I'm looking into it now and we'll hopefully have something and a solution in place very soon.

I hope you can resolve the issues so I can test the product as you envisioned it. In any case, the effort and seeing new ideas take shape is always appreciated. :D

Developer(+1)

Thank you. I'll definitely be working on resolving the issues and adding further polish to the game. I have a few ideas that I am hoping to add but I want to fix the bugs first then focus on other gameplay features.

Good Game,but the enemy hit box is to small

Developer(+1)

Thank you. When play testing the game myself I wasn't sure if the hit boxes were too small or if my aim was just bad. So I appreciate the feedback. I will enlarge the enemy hitbox a tiny bit in the next version and see if that fixes some of the more difficult shots that seem to have hit but register as a miss. I appreciate the feedback.

Pretty cool concept related to the theme! I think adding some teleportation when reaching the end of one screen would be cool, I went off screen for a little bit and I came back in about the same time lol. Sound effects are a little loud and the music plays at odd times. I don't know what happened, but I couldn't get past wave 4.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. I will definitely make it so when you leave int side of the screen you instantly appear on the other side as well as the top and bottom. I definitely forgot about that aspect. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. Definitely glad that you enjoyed playing the game though. I know it has a few bugs here and there, but I'm working on addressing those.
