Got pretty far into the game. Definitely challenging. Not only does this employ great tower defense mechanics, it makes you actually THINK. Great memory is key to winning this game.
TIP: Max the freeze ability, laser blocks, and healing blocks ASAP. Spam the HELL out of your freeze whenever you can. And remember, if you aren't dropping blocks, you should be dropping bombs!
Loved the game, but I think it might be a little buggy. After a while the mine boxes wouldn't distribute mines, no matter where I put them. Had to use them like a useless block. Had to refresh to get them working again.
Very fun game, knocking off half a star for one reason. It REALLY needs a 'trash' option. A small section where you can drag a block to just get rid of it. I've had it were the screen was almost filled with junk blocks that couldn't help me because I had no choice but to use them or the bar would be filled with them and then couldn't get any good blocks. So an option to just toss them without having to waste space would be nice.
fantastic game.
a couple of thoughts though.
when you reach the later levels, the play area is far too small for the amount of blocks you have. perhaps expand the playarea as the levels progress or maybe have an 'inventory' of certain blocks you can take with you at the start of the level. (for instance i found the shield attack block useless and it was effectively another wall block to keep them at a distance)
i ran into the same glitch with the mine layer as other players in that it would just stop and do nothing, no matter what i did. however i found that if you collapse the game and load it again it would work again for a while.
other than that, addictive as hell. truly good work.
in summary: more space!
Really nice concept. Smooth and colourful, yet a bit dark graphics. Fitting and easy controls.
The game tends to be a bit repetitive in the later levels. Block puzzles are not much of an option and seem to cause chaos, since the best strategy is to use one ground tile for only one block type and upgrade them until the last wave.
Like mentioned before, I would love to have a zoom feature. Only realized there was an option to scroll the game until the last level. I also had my miners stop working after some time...they just didn't felt the need to defend my drone anymore (restarting made them work again, at least for a few more stages).
