Stop Santa - Tower Defense

Ничем не примечательная, примитивная игра жанра Tower Defense. Бредовый сюжет, а-ля Санта свихнулся и явил армию злых эльфов и пингвинов, теперь нам соответственно нужно их всех остановить. Малое разнообразие врагов будем останавливать скудным набором вооружения: снеговики, леденцы, лазер. Каджое оружие можно прокачать/проапгрейдить дважды, однако особо чего-то нового эти апгрейды не привнесут, лишь усилиться стрельба и скорость, никаких новых атак или абилок не предусмотрено. Я вообще проходил игру только снеговиками с одним улучшением (дисбаланс налицо), лишь последний уровень заставил попотеть из-за босса. Могу порекомендовать её только для знакомства с жанром, а потом переходить на более интересные проекты. Встречал я игры TD и похуже, чем эта, но в целом она недалеко ушла от этого списка.

overall alright for in between.

VERY short, cute TD game!! Cute holiday themed beginner TD game, definitely NOT for expert fans of the genre, unless you want a festive, easy version! Great for kids since there are only 9 levels, no gore, and it's simple. Only 3 tower choices, and they are upgradable. You will need to play through the game several times to get all the achievements, as my first play through I got 5 stars on all 9 levels and I have 2 achievements yet to get. I might also mention that some levels it appears that the tower locations are out of your screen, but you can hold down the left mouse button and move the screen to see all the locations for upgrading, etc. Probably too expensive for most unless on sale, but if you have kids or like cute, short, easy, Christmas-themed games, this is for you!!

Cute little tower defense game. Short. I beat it within 2 hours. Decent graphics, music could have been better. Good game for the holidays. 9/10.

Sehr kleines Tower Defense Spiel für ne gepflegte Runde Weihnachtsplätzchen mit nem heißen Kaffee. Der Preis ist zwar niedrig, aber umgerechnet recht hoch. Zup zup zup, TD !

[h1]Simple but mediocre tower defense game[/h1] Cheap tower defense with a Christmas theme, [i]Stop Santa[/i] is "just fine". Here, I'll try to provide some feedback to the solo developer. With 9 levels and enemies only varying in levels of tankyness (and maybe armor or dodging; not sure if those are a thing in this game), it's very simplistic. There's 3 different towers, with varying levels of attack speed and damage. All target single mobs. Enemies have visible health-bars and usually take damage on hit but for some reason not always - can the towers miss or some enemies dodge? It's unclear. There's no tutorial, but with only 3 towers and obvious spots to click it was easy to experiment on my own. The towers can only be built at certain spots. Towers can be upgraded twice by clicking them and the appropriate icon (i.e. the usual way for the genre, is good) but when you click the tower, the sell button is immediately under the cursor. In the couple of the first levels, I accidentally sold my towers instead of upgrading them because of this. It would be prudent to have it at a different spot. The enemies move very slowly. Particularly it feels so in the first levels, where there's not so many of them. A speed-up button (e.g. 2x, or even 3x) would have been a welcome addition. Finally, in the last level, some of the lanes were initially left outside the screen. As a design choice, I thought it was rather odd. Only in my second playthrough of the level, did I realize you can scroll the screen. Nevertheless, this seems like a bad decision to have: Either have scrolling as a core part of the levels, or don't have it at all. Though, it might be useful for different resolution windows/monitors. [h1]Options[/h1] As usual for a Unity game, you can choose windowed or fullscreen and resolution options from the launcher. Sounds and music can be muted separately within the game. No sliders though. If it's not obvious, game is entirely controlled with mouse. Not that I'd expect controller support for such a game. [h1]Conclusions[/h1] Playing through the game was about 30 minutes for me, total about 50 minutes after Steam achievements. Achievements are only based on killed enemies, gathered gold (from said enemies), and building a set number of towers. There's not enough levels for the last one to unlock organically through playing, sadly. It would be nice to have progress achievements, like the very least one for completing the game. The price is alright though. My recommendation is negative because, while it is not a bad game, there are many better and more interesting tower defenses in the same price category. However, an achievement hunter would get easy cheevos from this. [url=http://store.steampowered.com/curator/9997062/]~Twistorian Curator~[/url]

Joa zur Dezemberzeit ganz in Ordnung. Für wenig Geld bekommst du auch maximal eine Stunde zu Spielen. Das Spiel hat eine schöne Melodie, die einen in Weihnachtsstimmung bringt. Wer ein richtiges ordentliches Tower-Defense-Spiel zocken möchte, da kann ich Kingdom Rush sehr empfehlen :)

Stop Santa is a enjoyable but bare basic quick tower defense game to kill a few minutes in but quite not a extended stay. The game play is your simple tower defense mode. You have a total of 3 tower types to pick from with each having a different attack type and being upgradable. Each map has a very clear and distinct path while never going into being complicated. Featuring 9 levels the game isn't long by any means and can be completed in around a half hour to 45 minutes. The difficulty goes up from each map but never reaches anything too much of a challenge until the last one, which is easily complicated when you get your towers placed right. This is a good starter for someone that is newer to the tower defense genre. The game itself controls and runs just fine with good amounts of enemies on screen at once. Visually it is bright and colorful with a cartoon look to it. I will say I would of enjoyed a speed function like most TD games do that will allow the enemies speed to increase as they in slower moments it does feel too slow. Overall Stop Santa isn't a bad game. It's short, has a cheap price point, and runs well. However it isn't something that you might come back to with a lack of maps or anything randomized, lack of towers and enemy types. This shouldn't deter you from checking out a good starter TD game from a newer company though. Hopefully from this though they have shown promise and their next TD game can improve from this even more so. Score : 7/10 Digital Review Code Provided Courtesy Of Taco Truck Games
