Spawning enemies close to the player but outside their field of vision helps convey the sense of danger approaching them.\n- Tanks won't move towards the player unless the player passes in front of them.\n- The tooltips for speed and money are reversed, so I don't know which upgrade does what.\n\nIt's a good base to continue developing!","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":1164400,"author_name":"MysticGames","author_uid":"mysticgames","epoch":1759821304,"text":"@pierre-marie Thanks for the feedback.

Using the mouse to point where to shoot can get frustrating. You could try just shooting in the direction he is pointing.\n2.

Maybe a mini-map where everyone is\n\nThe game has good potential, you could have a swarm mode like vampire.io.

Nice game - I like the upgrade system and how the tank rotates toward the player. One small suggestion: if you make the bullets more contrasting, it would help players dodge them better.

I mean, they don't come in an enormous horde so that I had to run away from them. Instead, I had to look for them.\n\nAnother thing I would do is either spawn the enemies off screen or alternatively make them come out of some buildings, or come out of spaceships, because right now they appear from the thin air.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1181793,"author_name":"jelch","author_uid":"jelch","epoch":1760247948,"text":"What a rush!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1183786,"author_name":"drikdrok","author_uid":"drikdrok","epoch":1760411059,"text":"Cool game!

Here are few suggestions:  \n1. Add some appropriate audio cues, such as hit sound effects  when the player takes damage, and a coin\/pickup sound when collecting money.  \n2. Experiments show that in this kind of roguelike game, the player\u2019s attack direction isn\u2019t particularly important. Taking Brotato as a reference, you can simply auto-attack the nearest target, leaving the player to control only movement. This makes the game more confortable.\n","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1184720,"author_name":"BlackCat508","author_uid":"blackcat508","epoch":1760559412,"text":"pretty fun!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1184929,"author_name":"LDJam user 243193","author_uid":"243193","epoch":1760613013,"text":" Nice simple defense game with upgrade system!
