Best TD Mazer on SC2 by far <3 <3 <3

Heh, i can see the influences in Split TD.

I just played a game where the teleport was hit very random: Some creeps missed it twice, but hit one on their way back.

Nice game. One flaw i could think of is the current upgrade mechanism. With the option to upgrade both speed and damage, it is very hard to calculate the perfect DPS for your minerals. From wave 10 the player who has the best spread can actually win rounds with a maze that's worse then other players.

Oh, and collision size could be increased, as i often see creeps missing a teleport while all the others hit it (and i am not juggling then).

Did you ever play Mazing contest in Warcraft3?

Hey, in your demonstration video and in the comments you said something about teleporters, is that in the US yet?

Split TD is awesome, coolest TD I've played! Possible suggestions to make the map even more awesome:

Variable playing field: have the buildable area also be random, maybe have each player use a possible 40x40 square or something and have the game randomly generate large unpathable portions

-If you like that idea, you could also have variable start and end locations similar to your checkpoints, have them randomly spawn in each players area

You already said you weren't interested in making everyones maze go the same direction, but I'm going to suggest it anyway because it'd be awesome. The issue isn't that people can't adapt and maze correctly, its that its really hard to compare mazes with opposite orientation

Make double damage and/or damage upgrades be random as well, ie '1.5x damage!' or 'upgrades damage by 1.5 each time'

Pause towers? Every time a unit enters their aoe they stop for 1/2 second or whatever

All in all, your TD is excellent as it is, I quite enjoy it. If you happen to change nothing I'll keep playing anyway :)

I'm enjoying this and it seems to have gotten quite popular. Some suggestions:

- Remove the ability to build during wave This prevents juggling, which a large number of people are beginning to consider "cheap", "lame" or "cheating". This also gives less time to make last second changes to a maze, so maybe add an extra 1-2 seconds between waves to compensate for that.

- Allow rocks to be on the edges of the map They never seem to spawn on the edges, and I can't see why.

- Change the ground on the play field to a more interesting tile set Maybe grass or something not so boring.

- Recalculate the speed upgrades The upgrades still go slightly beyond the point in which it's useless to spend more. IE, for 5% attack speed you will see no benefit beyond 57 upgrades, yet you can pay for 60. The same applies to the other attack speeds.

- Make the play fields on the right side still play out left to right It's really disorienting to play almost every game on the left side, then suddenly play on the right side and deal with everything being opposite.

- Tower lock feature Some sort of extra precaution against accidentally selling a tower. Perhaps if you could 'lock' a tower so it cannot be sold with H (even when in a group). This would prevent the all too often accidental selling of the super upgraded tower.

- Reduce play field length Just slightly, by the length of 2 towers

- Reduce 70+ maximum tower limits Games where the tower limit is above 70 lead to ultra long mazes that can make each wave take forever.

- Speed/Slow towers Force speed and slow towers to be distanced so that their ranges do not overlap. In the event that the ranges of a speed and slow tower overlap, it isn't immediately clear which tower takes priority.
