Thanks for such a thoughtful comment! I agree with all of your feedback and I would try to improve on all of these aspects if I got back to the project.
I love your idea for the audio issue solution! I had avoided the sound effects for time as well as for the fear that it would get too chaotic with so many spinning weapons but your suggestion makes a lot of sense!
I love tower defense games as well so I'm glad you were able to enjoy it!
are you saying that you would make the inventory smaller and place the upgrade and stats panels in the freed up space or would you put it on the left side? where the wave panel is.
I'll definitely take a look at the sound effects video!
yeah the audio feedback would make the weapons and killing enemies much more satisfying but I felt it might get very chaotic when you get a lot of units. It was a challenge that I felt could be done well but I didn't feel I had enough time to dedicate to it.
On the other hand, it is quite awkward to equip things, I think I can fix that quickly by letting the weapon stat panel stay active when clicking a unit. My dream functionality would be drag and drop though haha.
Do you think that having a transparent UI would solve the issue or is it more the placement of the UI?
yeah I was worried that on hit sounds and on death sounds would get very chaotic later on. Definitely felt like I didn't have enough time to tune it properly. But thanks for playing the game and enjoying it!
yeah! upgrading units isn't supposed to be very worth because it's a tradeoff between a really good position and gold. Yeah fast forward mode is a really good idea.
I immediately felt philosophical upon playing this game. The vibes are immaculate, I really started contemplating the futility of life. I kept thinking about how fragile the life of this seed is. Every time I died I felt a sense of loss and sadness.
