Re: [pygame] Tower Defense game criticism



Yes... very true. Since i emailed the file i've added the ability of enemies to attack your towers. Next I plan to implement:

-Not being able to build a tower on top of another
-money is earned from "Extractor" towers, not by killing enemies.
-Different enemies that move at different speeds
-Limited range

in that order

I couldn't figure out how to do anything other than watch my towers get
overrun.

Most woer defense games I have played are based on maze-like passages.
This free-form open-space layout can be interesting, but as it is now it
is over way to fast. It should start out slow, and only get harder
slowly. pretty

Also, it looked to me as if all the towers had unlimited range. I think
limited range is a important gameplay element for a tower defense
game.
