So, here it is.
The game was pretty good. But really the system needs balancing. I played through upgrading only my throwing weapons, while getting piercing and bouncing along the way, only got to level 19 before getting overrun. I tried with the bow, upgrading only it, and getting the piercing and bouncing upgrades which is absolutely vital, at least the piercing is. Anyways got obliterated at level 19 because of those darn phoenix things. So I figure wth, I bought and upgraded only guns, speed, and piercing, I dominated everything before it got halfway across the screen. I bought all the guns, and got piercing 2, left bouncing 2 alone because it's useless to guns, had to get bouncing 1 to get piercing 2. Then I started upgrading bases, and by then I had max speed, so I bought some of the health and armor upgrades with my bases, because strength is absolutely useless when dealing with firearms also. After that I invested in the spells, fire, poison, explosion, light. And once I bought the final base I switched the scenery to the second to last so they were in a better line up for me to shoot. I rarely if ever had to use the spells, and the throwing bombs sucked pretty bad. I didn't buy those till the very end when I wanted to see what they were all about. I was disappointed. The game was fun, but stuff needs to be tweaked. I agree with some previous posters, there needs to be more definition. Such as show a gauge like this |||||||| that shows how many bullets are left in a gun, or how many more arrows you have, but arrows shouldn't even have to reload, save for between each shot. A reloading animation would be kind of cool for each gun. And the laser gun should not suck as much, I mean I used it and I got owned, switched back to a rocket launcher and destroyed everything. I mean that laser was absolutely pointless, if it went all the way across the screen then we'd be talking. Also if you get 1 bounce and 1 pierce, or 2 bounce and 2 pierce, you can throw spears and they'll stick into the ground, so you make a wall of own, that anything walks into will get injured if not killed by. Your spears can sustain a couple of hits while sitting there and don't disappear for a long long time. But alas, that is pointless when you can just own the game with guns only. That's really the only way to go, I can't figure any other way to win. Also if one set cooled down while you used the other that would be nice as AnEnigma already stated. Good job, but fine tuning is needed.
