Good patience waiting for this much money to spam purple units. :D You can also win by sending enough fast units which also doesnt decrease your income.
How long did you wait to get enough money without sending enough units to decrease lives?
At first I was waiting a few seconds to spam the normal units. Then, once I had enough money I spammed the fast units. This was very quick as every time I was putting like 10 fast units, I was getting an insane amount of money. I did this thing like 5 or 6 times until I started spamming the high hp ones. At the end every 5 seconds I was losing so much money that I went in negative :)
Thanks for your feedback!
I didn't have much time to properly test the balancing, so the difficulty and things are all over the place.
I also forgot to cap the minimum income to 0, so you can easily get into negative numbers.
"sometimes games that are a bit broken are more fun." Can confirm. It's more entertainig watching eople break FNAF security breach, than play it as itnended.
How did you get so many purple units? Did you wait that long to get the money or did you use something like cheat engine to give yourself more money?
Thanks! :)
The time between a tower spawn is randomly chosen between 0,1-5 seconds because when i was testing the "system" having a constant delay didn't eel good. There's also an RNG choosing if a tower should be placed or not, but since the time between each placement was eventually made to be random, I removed* the first RNG that determines if the tower should be placed.
*actually i just set the chance for tower to spawn to 100% because it was much easier and faster.
The 5 seconds interval between you recieve more coins was chosen because it felt te best when compared to 1-3 sec. intervals
The bad game speed/pacing is caused by lack of time to do proper testing.
Thanks :)
I originally intended to make it prettier and also add a difficulty options (like that on medium/hard it doesnt place toers randomly), but because I made it basically one day, i focused just on getting a playable game instead of pretty game.
Thankfully I managed to submit it in time thanks to he time extension. :)
