Just curious... is the game too hard? I intended the easy maps to be fairly easy (yet somewhat challenging). I notice many people losing in less than a minute. Not sure if that's because they don't know how to play or if the game is too hard.
I guess I should have made an in-game tutorial :( |

As it is, my opinion is that the game is too hard. I don't have much experience with tower defense games at all. However, adding a "super-easy" mode couldn't hurt, because then the new players can have a chance to complete a stage. |

Ya, i agree. The easy mode games are actually easy when you know what your doing... but if you are new to tower defence games the easy games aren't that easy. I'll create a bunch of super easy games/maps tomorrow and set a limit so only newer players can join. |

In my opinion, the game is too easy.
The reason people are going out in under a minute happens to be because many people look at the different towers before the game starts, but there's not button to press to start the first wave, it just goes after 25 seconds. First game I played I got 2 because I was looking at towers and the enemies came.
I just about rage quit and trolled your forums when this happened. |

Haha, one of the reasons behind the startup timer is that each game is recorded, including the startup. It could end up being a problem if someone went afk and made a 5 hour long replay :P
In my opinion, the game is not 2 hard, or to easy. Theres different difficulties. Just choose the best suited for you or venture out to harder difficulties and practice!
Good suggestion though, maybe having more startup time in the "beginner game"
Since one of the major strategies in the game is knowing the towers, i think the "tutorial" should have a good 2-3m startup for players to familiarize themselves with the towers

Needs a "Quote" Button... badly...
Anyway, 5 hour long video? I'd watch it *anticipation*
As for difficulty, I've been into TD since I was 8 years old.
When you say tutorial, I believe you're referring to the "Practice Game" and that would be PERFECT, especially considering that I'm pretty sure those games don't record at all. |
