I'm very very glad to learn this! Thank you for persevering!
The number of moves available is derived from existing tile types as well as board dimensions. It isn't a "smart" calculation, but rather a "safe" one (more than enough to clear any level). This only works because levels aren't about maximizing or minimizing score - the required score calculation is purely tied to grid dimensions :)
Levels are generated randomly, through basic seeded rng. To avoid having all levels look like noise, some seeds roll some mirroring modifiers - horizontal, vertical and axial. And that's really it!
I enjoyed this a whole lot. Great art, sound is crisp, gameplay holds up pretty much all the way through. I love how the audio starts shitting itself near the end, at least because of how many time I upgraded my holes :^) Cheers!
Difficult but honestly quite complete overall! I played about ten attempts, really trying to min-max system durability, energy, turning stuff on and on again, and the whole dynamic plays well. But I still lose very far from the goal each time, haha. Music's good, main level looks good, and it plays without any bugs that I could see (other than no reset on death, which is just a reload of the page anyways.) Cheers!
Played a bunch today, it's good stuff! I have yet to beat the first level, I got all the way to the final wave which crushed me - slowly improving though!
First win, on my fourth attempt! On the third, the skull sniped my tower right as it was around 10 hp and last enemy standing, on the final night lol. I really couldn't come up with any harsh feedback! All I ever noticed was that knockback stops working fast, because enemies collide on each other, and there are oftentimes more bomb relics than bomb cards to choose. Looking forward to what's next!
Hi! This looks lovely, but the build doesn't seem to run on my machine - I got the error "file vehicle missing" or something, so I created a charset called vehicle. Ran it again, same error for "monster"; after that, the game ran, I got into the first battle and then the file "strike" was missing. I could perhaps fix the game by iteratively adding files, but it's probably better if I let you know about it. :)
Ohh, this is really cool already! I definitely have a lot I could say, but I absolutely want to see more of your ideas in the future builds! It'd be nice if you had a way to export a portable version of the game (no installer) and featured keyboard controls. Cheers!
