Gawd.. This is what is required to be hard mode http://www.riverdefense.com/play?game=55214 That's 35 mins of juggling.. I'm just going to be content not beating hard mode.
Hard mode is hard (durr) The bouncy aspect actually makes a difference since straight lines in a maze are really inefficient. I just don't like how the maze making towers are so expensive. In hard mode I can barely get a maze built much less make one that can kill anything.
This game is really weak. Why did it get badges? After waiting 3-4 days it's really disappointing to have a game of this caliber get badges. The least they could do it pick a game that takes longer than 10 mins to beat...
Level 20, I maxed white. Gave it a silver upgrade and put those out as fast as possible. Max endurance, 5 power, speed, hp. 4 mana, 5 mana regen. 8 regeneration and 3 giant blow or whatever.
Thank you Casimodo. The last 2 Golden Air towers never shot, but otherwise your strat worked like a charm (except one mob who decided the grass was the best way to go.. 99%)
Level 15 - Max Resistance Add a few points in HP (I lost ~130 total since with max Resistance you take no dmg til about the 16th wave) The rest I put in attack speed. Abilities were Regen (never used the other) I just placed towers everywhere while I waited for the mobs to start dmging me. Then I just turned on regen and kept waiting. Boss died really fast and I didn't take much dmg. I was leaking mobs like a.. what leaks.. faucets.. Like a faucet.
To add to what I just said, the interface is too small, I can barely tell how much gold it costs to upgrade. That being said the flying creatures are brilliant!
This game is really cute. Needs a few interface changes, like more stats and mouse over sorts of things. Great game, an update or sequel can be a perfect game.
Stop spending your money on super monkeys! While 7 super monkeys would be awesome to see, it's not the way to win. It needs a lot more balancing price-wise to be worth the 12 grand it costs to upgrade.
I've beaten all the maps on easy and med, and 2 of them on hard. I think that means I had to beat lvl 50 on any of the first 4 maps on any difficulty. Granted I don't pay much attention to what wave it is, but I am pretty sure it ends at lvl 50. Do I have to continue after it spams the end map/play infinte mode? I agree half the game is an exaggeration, since there isn't much difference per map, but it is half the maps which you could argue is half the content.
I don't know if this game will get badges. Half the game is locked unless you play at their site. Only if Kong strikes a deal with ninjakiwi to unlock more content do I think this game will get badges. Considering how popular it is, I suspect that'll eventually happen tho
As someone who did all the puzzles by writting them down except for 3-4 (I cheated for those) The hardest mode is nonsense.. I guess I could play thru the normal mode again and study them, but it's not really worth it
This game is a great idea, but put into practice... It's just turtle spam. Nothing else is worth it. It would be better if it was more like sending groups at a time like a traditional tower defense game does.
