VOID WARD

(Edit: was in a rush when writing my original review, so i wrote it in a more fleshed out way, hopefully this helps more) 1. shop levels are buggy: if you just put 1 point into a shop trait, you dont get anything when entering a match, and when buying a lot of upgrades, you only get around half to 70% of them upon entering a new match for whatever reason. 2. shop Tiers are buggy: if you buy a new tier, but cant buy minimum of 2 of the same 1 upgrade type (as mentioned in '1', you dont get a level with just 1 level purchase), it will be there for the match you enter after buying with the upgrades at lvl 0 each, but upon losing and going back to the shop, the new tier of upgrades (you just bought thats expensive upfront), is locked again and need to buy it.. again.. wasting hundreds to thousands of points... 3. unoptimized: upon reaching past wave 20-25 is when frames start to drop quickly, upon reaching around 30-40 it consistently freezes then closes the game, whatever points you earned stay thankfully but it shouldnt crash so easily to begin with, for such a simple 2d game. cant recommend at this time, its a cool game and can see myself playing it a fair bit, but needs more…

This game needs some serious optimization. I actually quite enjoyed the game for the most part. The upgrades were satisfying and well thought out, despite their descriptions being too short and not particularly clear. However, the biggest issues is the severe lag when playing beyond the first few levels and the fact that if your income exceeds a certain amount the game can no longer keep track of it and converts it into an impossibly large negative number, which means that from that moment on you will be unable to buy any other upgrades. Then the special currency comes in at a disproportionately small amount compared to how fast the cost for permanent upgrades increases, meaning that you will be constantly grinding once your abilities reach a slightly higher level. Finally the absolute worst parts, if you have your bullet speed too high the game can no longer track if enemies are hit, despite that actually being one of the upgrades you can unlock. Meaning that if you actually upgrade your projectile speed to a certain level you will never be able to progress because the enemies will never get hit by your projectiles. Then if you have your defenses too high and your can't kill …

Can't recommend, it's got some fun to it but I keep getting soft locked on runs with the tower not targetting, mob can't kill me = hard quit the run and lose rewards. Frustrating as heck.
