Hello,
I am a developer of a new tower defense game: Castle Defense.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.castledefense

Our goal is to make this game really fun. Unfortunatlly the comments on android market don't help us much. There are usually something like: "best game ever", "worst game ever" and so on.

We will appreciate if you tell us what is wrong, what we can make better, what we need to change.
Thanks a lot for all suggestions!

Hi,
The game seems quite interesting, however, there are few things I think can be improved:
- There is no pause at the start of the level nor any indication where the enemies come from. Before you realize where is your castle, where are enemies, where can you build and where not, the enemies are at your doors - you are almost guaranteed to lose at first try.
- The is only one type of tower to build (at least on maps 1-3), this tower can be only upgraded once, and the range of level 1 tower is so small it is useless - so in fact you are stuck with only one type of tower to use (lvl 2 basic tower). This is very limiting. Combined with high starting cash and low income during the game and this makes the game quite boring - you setup 2-3 towers from your initial cash, maybe you can manage to buy one more during the game, and the only thing you really do is pressing the repair button.
- Few usability issues: the icons seem bit too small. The sell icon is too close to upgrade icon, I accidentally sold my tower instead upgrading few times. The price on the build icon melds with the tower picture, so I was sure the tower costs 6 instead of 16. The isometric view makes selecting towers difficult (if you touch the top of a tower, you select the tower / tile that is behind this tower). It would be useful to see what the range of your tower would be after you upgrade it. A "speed up" button would be useful, waiting for this last slow knight to come to you is frustrating.

Thank you very much for feedback.

We will add speed up button in the next release, we will also try to fix usability issues.
More towers and upgrades appears in further maps. There are 4 different types of towers and 8 upgrades for them. There are also more units in next maps for example archers. Maybe we should introduce them earlier?
thanks,
Mateusz
 
I have been playing your game for a week now and I have cleared all of the "easy" level. I am a game developer as well:

- I like what you are trying to accomplish.
- You need more towers designed to work together so players can figure out how to position them for optimal effect.
- Easy level is too hard on most maps. Players use easy level to learn the game, if it is too hard, they stop playing to soon to become addicted.
- The payouts for enemy kills doesn't make sense. Some NPC's pay too much, most pay too little. Challenge is one thing, fun is another.
- Pause during a map is important.
- The maps seem very nice, no critique there.
- I agree with Muminus' comments.
- Game is missing achievements like reward points "Robo Defense" or Bonuses.
- Finally, archers are too strong or range is too far unless you increase range of towers.

I can't wait for the newer versions of this game, I believe it has potential to become the best!
 
Thanks for suggestions. We just released a new version. I hope you enjoyed it.
Changes:
- minimap with actual enemies location
- 11 new beautifull and challenging levels
- choosing towers target enemy to kill
- game acceleration and pause
- battle bonuses
- scenario objectives descriptions
- game balance tuning
- UI enhancements
- bug fixes
 
Just played your new version! Great fixes and feature adds. I understand how cumbersome updates can be. It seems as though the Easy level has become easy. I also like the minimap, the fastforward button & the much needed pause button!

Slight recommendation on the ff & pause buttons; place them in the lower left corner. pause is too close to the "next wave" button. More than once i tried to pause just to initiate the next wave. Lol.

I will have to wipe the data soon to replay the entire Easy difficulty to find out if the levels are more even or build off each other. When I 1st posted here (before last 2 updates) I forgot to mention the uneven levels. A good example was level 30 where it was the hardest & the other levels after were far easier. The expectation is each level is harder than the previous. This is how to fulfill the sense of achievement needed.

Oh, the target or focus feature rocks! You are on it with this game!

If you do mobile game development for hire please let me know! - PM me or just post a response.
 
Hello again.
We are back:) We have released a new game - Monster Defense which is a continuation of Castle Defense game. This time you have to defend your medieval castles against hordes of monsters. The main differences between Monster and Castle Defense are: action now takes place in fantasy world and now you have ability to upgrade the chosen features of towers like strength, range, damage, speed.

We are working on new game engine so we will be able to implement new features soon.
 
Haven't played Monster Defense but I really like how Castle Defense has been evolving. Let you know what I think when I play Monster Defense.

Fight against knights, archers, trolls, orcs, dragons, skeletons and many other enemies. Train your own units in castles. Build different towers. Upgrade towers range, damage, speed and strength. Your towers and soldiers gain experience during fight so become stronger and harder to kill like in RPG games. Extract gold from mines. Defense different castles.

Looks interesting... how about adding a clear grid to the floor to make it easier to place buildings?

Aside from that it would look a lot better if bigger structures like rocks and buildings wouldn't only include the hard shadow, but also a huge soft one to make the floor appear a bit more 3D.

BTW, as usual it's incompatible with my little LG P500 :(

Wow, it looks much better with these shadows:) Thx for suggestion, we will try to implement this soon.
 
Happy to be of service :)

One other thing I noticed (in the screenshots: like I said, I can't play it), is that the house on the very left has virtually no contrast.

There are a lot compression artefacts here since all I have is a JPEG, but I hope you get the idea.

Unfortunately it is not easy to add these shadows at this moment :(

We changed tower building mechanism, now you build using drag and drop.
Do you like this new method?
 
This game looks awesome but the marketplace says its incompatible with my samsung replenish. It wont let me install even though most games its says are incompatible work fine from other websites like get jar and amazon.
 
Playing on 240x320 screen is very uncomfortable so we decided to disable such screen resolutions. Sorry :( We tried to implement scaling but It doesn't look good.
 
Hello,
I'd like to introduce new game - Medieval Empires. It is a full real time strategy for Android. We wanted to make game similar to Warcraft and other classic RTS games. I hope we managed to do this:)

Over 50 different types of units and buildings! Train knights, archers, axemen, catapults, swordsmen to attack your enemy. Build castles, barracks, farms and towers. Improve their range, damage and strength. Gain access to new units in each map. Extract gold from gold mines.
Just like in RPG games your soldiers and towers gain experience and become stronger and harder to kill after every fight they survive
Build your city. Defend attacks. Destroy the enemy!
Epic medieval battles with tens of enemies, special units and powerful magic towers.

The game looks similar on screenshots to our previous game - Defense Craft, but
the gameplay is totally different. Now it is full real time strategy not tower defense with rts elements.

Click to expand...

Defense Craft - tower defense game with few elements from rts game, you have to survive all enemy waves, you can build towers and upgrade them, train soldiers.

Medieval Empires - full real time strategy, you build your own city: castle, towers, farms, barracks. You can train multiple types of soldiers and workmen. Workmen go to gold mine and than carry gold to castle. Workmen build and repair buildings. Enemy has own city which you have to destroy.
