Thanks a lot for the heads-up! I know that it's available in the US and in Switzerland, I'll look into the distribution on the italian App Store. Update: There was indeed an issue with the distribution on the italian App Store! I took necessary actions to resolve this, I am now waiting for approval. Thanks again for letting me know!

Jstorm Well-Known Member Feb 2, 2020 1,082 474 83 Male Employed Earth #6 Jstorm, Jun 11, 2020 It’s really hard to see where exactly my turrets are being placed since the location is covered with my finger, and this is a big problem when I am trying to place a turret to deal with enemies that managed to pass the kill zone. Can we have an option to set some offset from the finger location and the crosshair? freeworld likes this. freeworld Active Member Jun 8, 2020 34 9 8 Game Developer Switzerland https://www.freeworld404.games #7 freeworld, Jun 11, 2020 Hi Jstorm! Thank you very much for the feedback! That's a great idea, thanks! I just received the same feedback from someone else too, I will add this option to the game as soon as possible! Thanks for playing!

Making the range adjustable would be even better considering the size difference of a thumb between an individual and the device being used. Also, it would be great if the game provides some numerical stats for turrets, such as the damage per hit, their firing frequency, and how much their damage increases with an upgrade. So far I cannot tell if it’s better to upgrade a turret or place another one. freeworld likes this. anthony78 Well-Known Member Nov 13, 2015 3,128 703 113 #9 anthony78, Jun 12, 2020 Having fun with this one.

I am very glad you like it! I hope to be able to add more levels soon, stay tuned freeworld Active Member Jun 8, 2020 34 9 8 Game Developer Switzerland https://www.freeworld404.games #11 freeworld, Jun 12, 2020 Both sound like good options, thanks! I'll check how easy it is to go for the advanced version with how I set up the settings currently - depending on the time it would take I would go for the simple (short term) or the advanced version, since this can be a rather frustrating problem.. Adding the stats is an interesting idea, thanks! My reasoning behind not adding them that you would get a 'feel' for when something was worth upgrading / building one turret over another - but in the current state it is pretty much a black box, which is not optimal, I agree. I'll try and see how I can fit the numbers into the info section, thinking about an 'advanced stats' button or something along those lines. Let me know if you have specific wishes so I can consider them! Thanks again for all the feedback, It's really helpful to get to a more polished experience! Jstorm likes this.

I enjoyed some blaster tower spam in this one: freeworld Active Member Jun 8, 2020 34 9 8 Game Developer Switzerland https://www.freeworld404.games #15 freeworld, Jun 18, 2020 A new version is now available! I added a customizable tower placement offset from the finger - a solution which works for both left- and right-handed players. Also available with the new update are tower stats from within the information screen. Thanks again for the helpful feedback @Jstorm! I hope you all enjoy the small convenience update, stay tuned for more content which I’ll hopefully be able to add soon! Also let me know if you have any feedback / comments / bug reports - either here or on the buggy games discord server! Cheers! Jstorm likes this.

That was already fixed in a small update last week so I didn‘t write it in the update notes or here again, but you‘re right! If anyone wants to support the game you‘re now actually able to do so Tip the amount you want to, it helps a lot in making new content! Also worth noting: if you like the game, but you don‘t want to / can‘t support the game financially, consider leaving a rating or even a review - that also helps a lot! Jstorm likes this.

I am very glad you like the change overall! Sorry for this inconvenient side-effect! I‘ll try to think of a solution for that. Unfortunately I think I can‘t just scale the levels overall, because of some weirder levels like ‚Off Limits‘. Maybe there is some better sweet spot for this though, I‘ll try to do some tweaking and better testing as soon as possible. I‘m also glad to hear the turret stats are useful for you and serve their purpose!

Some bugfixes also made their way in: no more creeps awarding you multiple times the reward money upon exploding when all the lasers fired at them at the same time.
