Snake TD

You failed to present the most important thing about any TD; the terrain.

Most important ? O.o

anyway , i forgot it - thanks for reminding me
*Picture added*

*Important Update* v1.04
-fixed the commands interupting the spawn
-fixed a but with the player colors in the multiboard
-made the corners unbuildable
-enhanced live lost message
-Added Secret Tower
-fixed the rare Critical Error (i hope so , Credits to Hanky for help)

I think everything should be fixed now... :)

Now i would be happy about some feedback or critism

Edit : Wohooo , not too much feedback at the same time please

Better terrain picture please, I can hardly see a thing on the current one.

Alright, so I played this. Here's what I found:

• Terrain was very bland. Nothing to it, just... purple and black. Ugly.
• The game depended too much on anti-air. No anti-air? You're fucked, gg. But once you got maybe 1 AA tower, you were fine for the whole game (until you could buy mech towers, which replaced them).
• What was the point of air units? Really. This isn't a maze TD, so the air units do nothing special other than make 95% of the towers suck.
• Few spelling errors: "Critical", not "Kritical" (Kritical Strike)/"Demolition" not "Demolishion" (Demolishion towers)/"Being" not "Beeing" (Beeing leak free for...)
• The base nature tower's tooltip is cut short.
• The naga tower became completely and utterly useless after about level 25ish. Even at full power, 125 damage is almost nothing when the enemies have well over 9000.
• The "Powa-Seal" enemy's regeneration rate is too high. I understand that was the point, but you made it a bit too high.
• The upgrade for Knowledge should tell you what you'll get when you upgrade it. I upgraded to level 4 and I don't think I even got anything for it.
• The gold amounts I got late game made it hard to keep up with the rapidly strengthening enemies. And as the game went on, only Ultimate/Lazer towers were the truly strong towers, and they were insanely expensive.
• Bonus effects, like Chain Lightning and Frost Nova, didn't do nearly enough damage late-game to be useful (except for the slowing by Frost Nova)
• Players got gold for leaked enemies. Was this intended?
• Orc, Human, undead, etc. towers became completely useless late game. The NE level 4 tower was only useful for her mild AA and her attack-up aura.
• On the "Lazer Towers", its "Lazer" ability should display how much damage it does.

I liked the secrets, they were cute. Pretty easy to figure out though. Damn bunny, couldn't save him =(

However, this TD is bland. There's no pizazz. Nothing big, nothing majorly unique. You may have different towers, but they're all the same setup:

"Bounce" "Anti-Air" "Slow" "Splash" "Large Damage". Throw some new abilities in there. Give the races more variety. Break the mold a bit. Cause right now, most of your towers are just the basic skeleton with a different skin.

This is a decent TD, yes. But it needs more. Get creative, try some new things that you've never seen in a TD before. I personally like single-player TD's like this one (Non-mazing and TD's that don't depend on a fullhouse and a leakcatcher who never gets gold and thus ruins the game). If you need a bit of inspiration, play "Elemental TD". It's amazing, and should give you lots of inspiration for towers.

Hey , Thanks alot for your review ! its the first usable if got so far

Sorry that it took some days to answer but i am in holydays and today i got the first chance to be online (tomorrow ill be home again)


It bothered me a long time .. i think its quite ok and serves the purpose - but i think i have to rework it... but im missing a main fitting cencept for another terrain

i know , after all the air units got a bit senseless , they only force you to get a bit variety in your towers
but what could i chance exept deleting them completely?

thanks , i will fix that as fast i can do

many towers get kinda useless and weak to the end
but the naga tower is a quite good assistance - not too expensive , also 100% on air units , fast attackrate , hits 3 enemys per attack and has a immolation skill
yes , it is no that usefull as the nature tower

the problem is that the chosen difficulty mainly depends on the units health (e.g Very easy - 60% health) but with its regeneration it will reach the tower with 100% of their health which makes it hard to balance but i can reduce the regenerationrat a bit

Ok , ill add that

they are expensive but also strong (Demolition and sniper got the same power)
there are 3 "stages" of towers
The races at the beginning ( 10 / 20 / 40 / 70 gold )
the elementals ( 30 / 70 / 120 / 180 gold )
and the ultimate ones ( 120 / 200 / 300 / 500 )
maybe i can rase the gold gain of the last 10-15 waves but the interest rate (with secrets) can be very usefull to get money - if you dont need towers do not build them , with saving a bit money its possible to get e.g. four lvl 3 Laser Towers at the end

If i rase the damage of the spells the towers would get too strong
i calculated each [damag/second]/costs- value to balance it which gives each tower the same strengh ... but all in all thats the bad point you mentioned
("You may have different towers, but they're all the same setup")


yes , i thought if somebody leaks he seems to be in a bad position and could need the money ^.^

right , its mentioned in the build/upgrade tooltip only , i can add it


lol , each game i hear 6/7 noobs cry for help because these secrets are too "impossible" and even if i help they are too stupid to solve them , imo they are possible as you said ... i am going to rework the way of saving the bunny.. its kinda hard atm

yep.. its nothing new but imo quite fun to play
it was not my intention to create a extremely special TD with thing which are never used before

thanks for your feedback
i also got some problems with the critical error
i thought it was fixed but after 3 succesful tests it still appears... im kinda desperate because the error seems to be totally random (exept that he appears to the end) and i (also others) cannot find sth wrong in my triggers (but i have to admit that a big part of this TD is some GUI craps cuz i started the map a long time ago and did not rework everything after continuing now)
i would be happy if someone could take a look at my script and triggers (map is unprotected)

Wow, can't believe I didn't see you reply. Sorry =p

He had an immolation skill? I don't think he did, I never saw it. And the multishot is still useless late game, when they have 9000+ hp. He's really only useful early on, and for a specialty tower that shouldn't be happening.

No they wouldn't, not if you do it gradually. Every, say, 10 levels, increase the ability level of spell towers by 1, so they're stronger. Or allow them to be further upgraded after wave X to accomodate the additional strength of later waves.

Meh. I only leaked special enemies, and even then. I would make the gold half of what you would get if you killed it.

They were so easy, lol. The bunny one IS really hard though, since you have to force your towers not to attack... causing yourself to probably leak.


Will there, by any chance, be a new version? If so, I'll replay it and return more feedback.

I played the map, and for a TD it was very good. Now, there was some things though;

• The terrain should be better.
• The grammar could really use some more love.
• More unique towers would be great.

I don't got time for a better review now, but overall it was pretty good.

Yeah , he has an immolation skill but its quite weak... i thought of giving him a spell which deals a percentage value of the enemys Healthpoints to make this special tower usefull to the end

Hm... lol , i never thought of upgrading the abilities after Wave X .. that qould be quite nice... i guess ill add it


I think i wil remove the gold amount

:D hehe , thats not the solution of the Secret
You can let it through but better pick it up to save it

Of course :P
If i get feedback i will DEFINETELY work on it , i started with 1.05 but didnt work on it for a quite long time cuz i got some other developing projects but it will not get stopped
and at the moment im a bit desperate with this Critical Error i dont know where to fix

yep... i thought of reworking the spell tooltips
