I'm happy enough with this gravity puzzler. Suggs: 1) More tricky coins. Game is too easy. 2) Make the Lever button the DOWN arrow. That way I can 1 hand it and not move my hand at all. 3) Flip the graphics on the coins when I rotate the world. They look odd and off after the first 90 degrees. 4) Stage 25 could be more puzzler and less timing. 5) Couple more hair styles. Bug: If you touch a flag and jump twice the flag glitches and you cannot beat the stage.
Good game. Needs a little something something. Not 100% sure yet. 1 thing, rename the Energy Upgrade to Recharge. So people know to buy that and stop complaining about that. Err, mini coil could be smarter (stop attacking things it will never kill, like bombers), and or, have some sort of different effect. Make the mini coil damage like a machine gun (lots of small shocks, and make it only attack what it can kill quickest, TD behavior = kill lowest HP) Maybe there could be a bit more strategy in the game, maybe the stun effect could be longer. There should be more upgrade levels so people feel like there's more to do. Break up the multihit into +1 enemy, but at smaller costs. Give a SHOP button at the top right that Unbuys the last upgrades and restarts the stage so we can retry a bit. I LIKE that the coil doesn't recharge every day. Adds some thought.
-TIPS- Big Money: Before the final HACK, lock 1 door repeatedly till 0 cycles(lights only give half as much). Cyborgs/Zombies that die repeatedly give 1 cycle each death. EMP/Locks make for easy pacifism. Hacker Girl can be stopped with telephone or brainwashing. If she is gonna hack a PC, blow it up on her! She can hack your drones, but not cyborg. Electric locks do 5 damage for 1 cycle on above door! Only 2 on bottom. 10 above electric locks=50 damage=better than sniper. Combine that with Big Money tip for more money. PCs can be hacked with humans on same floor by them being too far (3 second hack, only takes 5 panel run distance) or by hacking PCs on both sides of the humans. Hack a bot behind a strong human for great damage. All your bots turn off lights for free, this is good for free money and combo. If you want the best scores, you need to keep a x10 combo, use Locks to maintain it. My top scores: 11470 violent, 9500 pacifism. Click Plus if this comment helps you or others. :)

I agree Meatbucket, Hacker Girl would be more fun if she unhacked your PCs and you got into a little hack, counter-hack war with her. It would be very movie like. Also, the Secret Agent needs some better skills. He does nothing special. My suggestion for the Secret Agent: 1) He can open any lock and go to the next floor (he cannot be stopped by locks ever). 2) When he appears on that next floor he looks like a scientist or mechanic (secretttt agent :p ). The only way you can tell he isn't a scientist is he's not scared of the dark. The Special Ops guy is also a bit boring. I'd like him to be 100% invisible, except when going through lights, when he can be seen, but, he also gets the power to turn the lights off. Warlord is fine. He's just powerful. Ninja... hmm, he's good. Could be quicker maybe. Currently he cant unlock doors, even though the game says he can.
Excellent points, Tiader and Opa! I made the exact same suggestions to Nerdook before. :)

I really hate how the items overwrite other items, even when there is plenty of space in your storage. This is very noticeable when watching the items on floor 0 during a raid. And yeah, I think Nerdook should get rid of the gold requirement per floor. Requiring the 1 gold per floor is a vestige of when the game first came out, and every hero used to have a yellow bar that was like a time limit till they came back to town. Now the gold requirement per floor is nearly useless cause I just use 1. It's a formality, and, it seems to confuse new players who don't get why their characters are leaving the dungeon. I'd just take the requirement out. (plus, it's not needed on the final floor but it's still there)
Voted ya up, Backbreaker. :) But what I REALLY want is a level creator mode for Rogue AI, and the ability to share it with others. I wanna make challenge maps and weird stages and turn off certain powers for those maps to make the solutions fun to figure out. If anyone else wants that, please Vote this comment up. :p

Money trick. Right before you take over the final terminal, to make some extra money, don't turn on and off the lights, don't ring all the telephones over and over. Instead, find a tough enemy that it going up stairs, and toggle the electric locks on and off! This make the most money, and kills some people! Electric lock spam is also very good for killing in normal play as well, if you know a trick. The down arrow door does 5 damage, the up arrow door does 2 damage. You can use this to kill in 10 cycles, Warlord, Secret Agent, and Special Ops humans. (cheaper than a Sniper shot)
Hmmm, not sure if I like the changes to zombies. Not as fun as they used to be. How about this for a zombie change. 1) Do not make them auto zombie, make it so we have to click on the dead body to "infest it".(plus,that makes it look better. Its kinda weird how all of a sudden a guy becomes a zombie). Then click the body again to get up, or we can let it stay and only get up when someone comes close! ^_^ On death, it auto respawns twice(no cost). It's more fun with the longer lasting zombies. Sugg, turn Sprinkler down to 10 cycles, too costly,as it also hurt my hacked bots/summons and is so slow anyway. Bonus money on win is too low,should be 60 per cycle,not 10. Hacker girl should unhack your PCs =to what we got -1,so at end game that's -8. This makes it more of a hacker fight with her :) Hack, hack back. EMP sugg, make it so it reboots all unhacked PCs to being hacked but with triple the timer. This makes sense and is more interesting looking. Also make the EMP turn off the lights.
The zombies aren't as good as you might think because yeah, they don't automatically attack anyway, they just walk along. But you can manually turn them so they walk into enemies. Bit annoying though. If the zombies automatically did attack people, they might be too good though. Zombies also resurrect sometimes, which is cool. I'm guessing the zombies are nanobot infused zombies. Oh, another suggestion. This is about the neurotoxin. It seems to me the neurotoxin is a bit odd to use. Hard to fit into any tactic. Maybe it can be changed? Im not sure how yet. Maybe make it a VERY slow poison? IDK. Seems very expensive in cycles for the amount of damage I get it to cause. Maybe make it work on even non panicking humans? But slower damage?
Cool game. Suggestions so far. If the map still has hacked bots or we are hacking a terminal, we shouldn't lose automatically. The game should wait for the hacking to be done or for the chance that we will kill a human and get some bonus cycles. Same with zombies. Right now I lose if I have 1 cycle left and then zombie a person. Also, the girl hacker shouldn't destroy the computers. She should unhack them.(make this costs us cycles we got from it). Another suggestion, if I finish a map with cycles, that should transfer into bonus money. Which brings me a tip. End of map, 10 combo telephone calls. And a final question. Why can I manually destroy a hacked computer? It costs me 5 cycles and gets me nothing.
NICE!!!
Yourwebsite: http://www.theswain.com/ says there is gonna be a MasterMind TWO!
HAHA FINALLY! Keep us peons in the know! All hail The Mastermind!
It is most certainly is rewriting my dungeons. Easy test to see if it is. NEW GAME. Lay a few TILES. Press the Back Button. Click Continue to double check it saved. Yup. Now Back again. Go to IMPORT. Import something. Check floor 1. Press Back again. Go to continue game. Check dungeon. My empty slightly tiled dungeon is overwritten.
And I agree Ikarus. Berserker kills himself, practically. And the item situation is just impossible.
Whoa, something really weird with the new update. Import dungeon overwrote my old dungeon. Not cool.
Also, I started a new dungeon and now I'm at negative gold after 1 floor?? :( :( :( I can't tile anything. I hath been pwned! I'll check more but there are issues here! LOL
~INFINITE MONEY TRICK without GAINING DAYS: Go to any dungeon floor, tile any map any way you want. NOW RELOAD the GAME (F5). Now, Click Continue Game. Your map will be set up like you had it, but you will still have the same money as before :) Now set up your items on your heroes and attack. Please Rate This Comment If You Think This Comment Will Help People, thanks :) Now AI tricks. The AI always jumps to the exit when next to it (unless a gold arrow). Set up a gold arrow right after the entrance to guarantee they each get 1 gold. Try to get all your units wearing a Portal item(this saves them from Dragon death too! If not, dead adventurers get replaced with a new level 0 unit! Eww) On the final floors, don't make a path to the dragon until you are ready (level 13-15),then change all the last floor tiles to attack only him and no other monsters,for full hp. Give every item to your units to get even more gold (pick n delete 1 item and replace it till all items are gone).~
