Finally beat the demo.
I noticed that there's a bug with freezing the hero. It seems that conveyors don't push frozen heroes, and arrow traps don't push frozen heroes either.
Edit: Here's my strategy.
I feel like what would be nice for the full game is another game mode that has multiple spawn points, that way you can get bigger swarms of heroes to fight, instead of just fighting 4 at a time.
You can then have the choice of funneling them in 1 single line, and hoping the heroes don't overwhelm your defenses when packed tight like that, or you can try making a path for each spawn point to deal with the heroes faster.
Ranged guards would be really nice as well, as well as maybe healing traps that heal your guards might be nice.
Maybe a secondary resource that's rare to get super powerful artifacts/traps, such as a teleporter that teleports each hero once for a round, so you can send heroes either back at the start, or maybe send them to an entirely new path. Maybe have a teleporter at the start of the dungeon that filters out specific types of heroes to a different trap area?
Yeah I already wishlisted the game. I actually went to steam in hopes to get a download there since I just prefer downloading on Steam than Itchio, but luckily I realized if I only build 5 tiles at a time on the web browser, then I won't crash the game (Only way to beat the game on the browser I think).
I'm okay with being on the credits.
I suppose other ideas could be trinkets (Idk if they would be drops, purchases, rebirth rewards if you go that route, or whatever), but maybe you can attach them to an individual guard, so when that guard spawns/respawns, it can do certain effects, like slow on hit, paralyze, poison, heal the guard, etc. Maybe even do that for traps?
Another cool feature would be a patrol feature for guards, so if all the heroes in an area are killed, then you can set two+ points that a guard will travel, that way you can have guards deal with 2+ hero spawn points if you ever go for that kind of game mode.
And of course you wouldn't be a villain if there wasn't a way to scam the IRS, so maybe an IRS scamming machine that hurts the heroe's economy to reduce their equipment (Or if you are basic it just gives you money, but I wanted to think outside the box here) might be cool.
And then maybe if you want to add humor to the game, there could be trapped porta potties, so when a hero needs to use the bathroom, they go down a side path, and it just explodes. Really just depends on what you have in mind for this game.

I send you a playtest key and you get the full version on each update (after publishing the demo).
I will analyze the ideas and investigate the build problem.
