Hey, thanks a lot for playing and for the detailed feedback, it really helped! All three issues you mentioned are fixed:
- 3 in a row not combining: merges only happened when you dropped a tower, so towers that spawned next to each other just sat there. Now matching towers combine on their own, and merges can chain.
- Click to drag vs hold to drag: agreed, having both was confusing. Click-to-move is removed. You move towers by dragging only.
- Buy button switching tiers: it was showing a random “lucky” higher tier ahead of time, which looked broken. It now always shows the normal tier, and a lucky upgrade is a surprise when the tower spawns.
You’re also right about the lack of meaningful decisions. A major patch is coming today with a new mechanic, a skill tree and new towers, so there will be real choices beyond buying and merging. Glad you liked the graphics and animations!
