I don't think you're supposed to do that but if you do fill the whole map with resource generators I don't think you can ever lose :sweat_smile: \n\nI got to wave 13, but it seems there are no more waves (or maybe the enemies wouldn't spawn because they were never killed). This is what it looks like when you flood the map with generators haha (I think the enemies got stuck):\n![aztec_td.png](\/\/\/raw\/bca\/21\/z\/4d489.png)\n\nVery cool entry nonetheless, good job!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":808297,"author_name":"MrEvilGuy","author_uid":"mrevilguy","epoch":1649305271,"text":"That music, mood, beat, and jungle all came together perfectly.
