I really enjoyed playing this game. It's very addictive!
Things I loved:
- I love the fact that you can interact with things on the map (like the crossbow in the second level).
- I love the snowball pigs! They are my favorite.
- The aesthetic is great, I love the animations.
Some general issues I noticed:
- When I hit escape, the game didn't pause. It would be good to break the action if I need to get up or pull my attention away from the game.
- When I hit escape, the shop closed on it's own, I'm not sure if that was intended.
- I know it's a TD and most of the mechanics are probably known to fans of the genre, but there was little explanation as to how to play, where to click, etc. Luckily I knew what to do based on playing previous TD's, but a fresh player might get frustrated not knowing the basics of the game at first.
A couple of gameplay suggestions to improve the game:
- The cost of trashing a tower should also include the upgrades you've added. I went to reposition some of my towers after they had been upgraded a bit and it didn't seem like the price of the upgrades was included in the refund.
- Is it possible to add a repositioning feature? Maybe at a cost of gold.
- The coins that drop need to be more noticeable. I found myself missing out on clicking them purely because I didn't notice they dropped. I think it should be very obvious that a coin appeared and that I need to click it as soon as I possibly can!
A couple of my own suggestions (don't need to include these, they are just ideas):
- It would be cool to see the towers build up and look physically more imposing as you upgrade them. i.e. the machine gun pigs could start with a pistol, but end up with a huge AR or something at full level for example.
- Adding an offensive drop along with the coins would be good that you also need to click.. i.e. a clickable that sends the nearby wolves back a bit if you click it in time.
Overall this is going in a really great direction. I played for over an hour and didn't notice I was playing that long. Great job, and I look forward to playing future builds!
