It took me a bit under 4 hours to buy every upgrade and complete all 10 missions. After completing a mission you can keep going infinitely with challenge waves, which I always did since they give extra crystals. There's a decent variety of towers, 5 total with each behaving very differently. imo the best were Frost, Knight, and Inferno. Berserker would've taken Knight's spot if it had better range. There's quite a few enemy types as well, but I can't say I really know the difference of how they behave other than that some have shields, some are invisible to most turrets except Frost, and some are big sponge-y boss types. I would've liked if there was some sort of tutorial, it's a tad confusing at first. Some sort of "bestiary" in the main menu where you can read up on the differences of each enemy type would be neat. The first level was also very difficult until I was able to get quite a few upgrades going for Knight, but the dev has already put out a patch rebalancing that level so I imagine it's fine now. Dev seems very open to feedback. For example originally there was only one volume slider that affected music and SFX together, and I asked to have those split up and they very quickly patched that in. The music is actually one of my few complaints with the game, it's okay at first but it's incredibly repetitive. Most songs are just short loops repeating forever until you switch to a different mission. It'd be nice if the game instead randomly played all the songs in the game rather than just one per mission. I also liked the "between waves" music more than the combat music, would've liked to have heard those tunes during combat as well. My only other complaints are pretty minor, like how it's unclear what some upgrades, enemies or modifiers do, and that the treasure chests have a chance to destroy a tower. I just don't think that adds anything fun to the game, and whenever I'd get hit with it early on in a mission I'd just restart because it basically ruined that attempt. I'd like to see some form of endgame where you can infinitely upgrade turrets, maybe some bigger levels (combine multiple into one final endgame map, perhaps?), but even if the game doesn't get anything like that I'd still recommend this for the $4 it currently is on sale for if you enjoy tower defense games.

Trash tier with the depth of a game jam dropout. Pros: Short (2.4h for a full completion). Cons: Not short enough to refund. (Well, my bad actually — forgot to shut it down when I went to eat, but still). Has a price tag. Seriously? $3 for a product less consistent, polished, and packed with content than a whole lot of free stuff? Sold as a final product despite having obvious bugs, such as skill buttons going below the screen on an upgraded "tower" or misnumbered counters on fully learned skill trees (consistently showing 6/7 when there are only 6 levels available). Randomly spawned chest drops with a highly irritating chance to destroy a random tower... and there's an option to pay to skip it? AND they just despawn if not clicked? Who the hell thought this was even remotely adequate mechanics?!

Nice fun 3 hour game. Doesn't explain much, but a lot of things are self explanatory.

Good game.

A short and sweet little tower defense game. The demo was fun, but the $4 was worth being able to complete the game fully. 9/10 The only thing I could really ask for is more levels, but that might require more upgrades and/or abilities, and that may not be worth the dev's time.

....this is 4 out of 10. why a thumbs up? theres a lot of potential???! cons -w/o any upgrades, i opened a chest which deleted my first tower on failure, which causes the run to end, really. boo!! -chests (always?) have a chance to delete the closest tower. they also cost $ to...avoid? to back away from? pro: theyre otherwise...upgraders, free money, free gems (upgrade meta tree and spells. and 1 level modular enchantments) con: they only appear in the first few waves. usually 3/12 waves. 10 levels, endless. etc. well. not much more for etc. -upgrade trees are...good but unevenly paced. green guy gets green gems rapidly (its a flamethrower tower. it just looks like a green berserker throwing axes or something, i wasnt paying attention i was watching...cheers? and some rlm, as always.) um. and yeah green gems get you a full kitted out green tree. you can convert gems, if you must to others. pro and con: you can finish the game in about 2 hours, or a dedicated hour or something. i wasted (at least) an hour on endless. this game can easily add a bit more. extremely tempted to give a negative review, but completionists might love it. i suppose it is NOT good value for $1=1 hour of fun? but im in au, my $ is different here, theyre golden coins
