Thank you for playing and the Feedback :) it is not a polished game and I did not try to copy the original closely, I would not know how to get it anymore… yes this game is more about moving fast, I run out of money pretty quickly ;) Downside is that one is so busy with moving and upgrading that it is hard to watch the game - though at a certain point when everything is set up you can usually sit back and relax. I may add more levels before the current ones to make the entry more smooth :) I noticed that balancing levels is not easy at all ;)

About placing the towers - this is actually part of the game and should not be too easy ;)

The purple missiles only damage the target they are hitting!

Good luck with level three! If you get stuck let me know, I can give some hints!

I finally got level 3!

That's fine, if you prefer that.

It's makes the game harder without adding fun. I strongly suggest to change that.

I'm using the trackpad in my notebook. Are you using a real mouse?

Congratulations!! Good job! I am using a trackpad but it should also work on phone or tablet, then you need to rotate to landscape :)
More feedback:

Laser towers are overpowered. In most random levels it's possible to place a few at the corners of the long lines, a lot of laser towers, and win without using any of the other towers.

I'd reduce the damage of the laser tower and add some splash damage to the missile tower.

Thank you I did not notice that, will try it out! I added a new tower according to the original game - it collects the energy and you can connect the other towers to it to get a boost when there is enough energy stored! With the laser - I am not sure if it should lose a little bit of power with distance, that could also help to balance it.
Can confirm the lasers are overpowered:)) I think the upgrades are too steep and the damage should fall off a little bit with distance…
