Gregg: Tower Defence

So conflicted over giving a negative review as this is a fun and competent game with good ideas, but a lack of graphics options sent me over the edge into negative. GOOD + very fun loop for about an hour + feels good to play + satisfying upgrades BAD - only one hour can be squeezed out of what is here - 4 dollars feels like a steep asking price IRRITATING This game runs at an uncapped framerate and offers no in-game graphics settings, so it made my CPU and GPU run wildly hot. This is what threw me into a negative review. For thirty minutes I don't realize it has my temps at the absolute max. I was able to correct it with the nvidia control panel but it shouldn't have had an uncapped framerate to begin with. I would not have minded the 4 dollar asking price had the game not arbitrarily pushed my system to the max. This might not matter to folks with better rigs, but I'm on a gaming laptop so cpu/gpu temps are something I'm always wary about. Insane that this simple 2D game pounded my system harder than ray traced Cyber Punk. Anyway, now that I'm done whining, the game is fun and I hope the developer expands it into something more significant and I really hope they include basic…

It is a stupid game and not fun at all. Don't waste your money.

its hard but fun i think they should add a respawn feture. and maybe a few more upgrades.

This game is very shallow. but the mail problem is the fact that there is a bug which is very common where your guns will fire in a fixed point all day even though there's no enemy there. and when the night start they continue to fire on that same point until the enemy blobs kill a lot of your infrastructure. then they will fire on the enemy but by then you'll lose a lot of infrastructure. ad to that the fact that the enemies one shot your expensive turrets...

Very fun concept. I enjoy what I'm supposed to be doing. Run around and quickly gather resources to build and upgrade defenses. That and the low cost get this game a recommendation. However a few minor tweaks would make this a much better game. - Add a line from your character to the mouse pointer (Makes it easy to see direction as well and speed needed to change angel for gathering and attacking - Add hotkeys for the build, upgrade and demolish (or add tool tips if they are already available) Seems odd to be missing considering the game pauses when you enter these modes - Add some sort of persistent growth element so each try stays challenging but also satisfying Even something as simple permanent starting gold and resources would make the first few days less monotonous after a few plays so even the lowliest player could continue enjoying it and see more content and the most experienced player can get back to the end game quickly to try out another fun defense I see the makings of an exciting base defense game here but without a few minor tweaks I don't see if being one too many people will play more than a few times as the loop becomes the same with little promise of a …

I'm going to recommend this game, even though I voted it down. It is not a bad game. But after a single hour, I felt I had seen all there was to see of the game. Solid for what it is, but not worth the $4 price tag to me.
