Quite a solid take on a PVZ-style tower defense game!

I think the focus on upgrades is pretty neat! plus I like that the harder versions of the levels have actual new challenges instead of just spawning more enemies than usual.

Two suggestions sounds wise:

-The siren sound effect is a hell of a lot louder than everything else. I get that it's supposed to stand out among all the other sound effects, but perhaps you could tone it down a bit.

-Perhaps the Processor and the Refinery trashies could have a special sound effect for when they give you scrap, like a toaster ding or something. Serves as some kind of reminder to refill them again.

Also, there's a bug in the collection screen where if your mouse cursor is moving even just a tiny bit, clicking on a trashie/exterminator won't cause their info to show up. Nothing game breaking, but a little annoying nonetheless.

yeah i think ill lower the siren volume a bit
it isnt loud for me but a lot of people do seem to agree it is too loud

the processor and refinery having a sound to remind you is a good idea
even i forget to feed them LOL

and that isnt actually a bug
since scrolling is prioritized over clicking
if you move your cursor while clicking, you start scrolling through the collection
i do see how it could be annoying tho

thanks for the feedback!!

Finished all the normal modes. Here's some extra suggestions:

An option to always keep healthbars on.
With the Unit Repair upgrade, placing a Glue Mat on top of a full-health Glue Mat replensishes its glue.
If you're still looking for Scavanger variant ideas, here's two suggestions for the missing final tier variant:
- A tower that attacks when you feed it scrap, like the Magnifying Grass from PVZ2
- A refinery that stores its scrap indefinitely until you manually collect it. It starts out at a rate slower than the processor, but the rate increases over time the longer the scrap is stored. Rate resets when collected.

Also, how does gaining XP work? Some of my trashies (namely, Battery and Glue Mat) seem to be getting XP at abysmally slow rates, despite how much I've been using them. I know attacking is definitely a factor (my Lektrik Fan used to also get little XP until I got the variant that attacks faster, after which I was able to buy the rest of its variants after just one run with it) but what are the other factors?

yep
healthbars are going to be a permanent setting in the next update

i was thinking of being able to "repair" glue mats and replenish their glue yeah

scavenger with interest rate and manual collection lmao
that is in fact one of the many existing ideas for what 021 could be
so far i think its the best one

there are mainly two ways a unit gains xp
one is just from surviving a wave, which it will get a little xp from
the other one is from successfully doing whatever its meant to do
for lektrik fan this means dealing knockback
for gunner this means killing an exterminator
etc
thanks a lot for giving feedback on the xp rates tho
i dont usually get that even though i need it for balancing
