There is nothing wrong with the difficulty of the game. Been at the game for a month and I'm still struggling with centipedes in Round 20 on Hard. Oxynidus is clearly born to play Bug Heroes.
Yeah, I had 3 spawn in quick succession while playing living room. The first was a quest but 2 others followed shortly after! Living room definitely seems to have a lot more queen ants than other maps.
They often spawn 2 + 2 for some reason, which gives the illusion that there are 4 simultaneous Queens. Foursaken Media: I have a couple of suggestions/ideas. Concerning the increasing difficulty after round 30 and so, how about not only increasing HP and damage of enemy bugs, but speed as well? I think it might make things interesting. Faster centipedes, now there's a challenge. Or at least make it more than a %1 increase in HP and damage every round, because it's obviously not keeping up with the advanced players. I know you've done your best to avoid such drastic measures, but now may be the time to pull out the big guns. Aaaand, I forgot the second one. I'm sure I'll remember eventually.
We don't mind making hard, harder... at least in the "late game" as it seems like most people are already having a tough time getting to round 20. Anyway, I just increased the health/damage modifiers pretty substantially for enemies after round 20 (again, hard mode only). This change should really only affect the top dogs and make it so they don't have to play for 100s of years to achieve the same level of challenge. Oh, and to answer someone's question about when the alternate skin "Reinforcements" pack is coming, it will not be in this next update, but expect a very quick submission as soon as this one is released (as in ~1 week later).
Fours4ken Media: There's a glitch in Living Room that makes it so that there is no limit to the number of Queens that can spawn. I had FIVE queens in my last game. I took a screenshot too with 4 queens on screen (luckily I had Goggles to be able to see it). That top spot in Living Room was mine. I was so damn close score-wise, and only lost because of two glitches that happened at the same time: Stick's staff disappeared, and my Earthquake cooldown was wasted. This glitch occurs when you switch out the staff that Stick had equipped with another ability while it's on cooldown. Stick could no longer attack nor cast spells under this condition until you equip him with a staff. The second glitch was, of course, the 5 queens, which would have ended me either way. Oh well. I'm satisfied with my efforts. You can keep the top spot, Ken.
Yeah, I can hit 80+ on easy but struggle to get past 5-6 on hard.... no idea why I find it so hard, just seem to get swarmed too easily :-(
I was trying all three of the gunmen (Ant, worm, and fly) and they seem good together up to a point. How far have you gotten with those three together? Any tactics you commend? I love nuke and howitzer to help clear the map, but fly's abilities don't seem to do much against the big bugs. Does his money shot do more if you combine it with other skills? Which ones? Maybe I should also make sure I have plasma shot as an extra backup. Playing Garden - the centipedes cross the map really quickly though, so not must time to waste. Do you still get extra money through fly if you set off a nuke and then switch to him and activate his moneymaking skill before it goes off? Either I am really bad at my timing or I am doing something wrong.
I think it felt like the Living Room map was made for Ant to dominate. Ant's wide vision and Ant Hole are very useful while trying to complete insane number of quests in row without fail. I was able to successfully complete at least over 70,000 points of quests before reaching round 20 on Hard. It was my first attempt at Living map too. After that, I tried different team without Ant in it, and I could barely reach 50,000 points before round 20... Anyway, cant wait for the skin packs and Mantis!
True story. The top player (Ken) played with Fly in his team. I played with Ant. Even though he's about 40 rounds ahead of me, the difference between our scores is so small (dammit!).
Hmm, I'm having better success with my unusual team of Spider, Stick, Worm the 'Anti-Queen' setup since that was what I had trouble with and I took out 4 on round 42 so I should be able to reach 100+ in my current game.
Sounds like a good setup. How'd you deal with fleas though? Early on, Worm takes em out with ease, but in later rounds, they rip him apart.
I just use Spiders self defense skill to keep them away plus the 2 laser turrets I have taking most of them out. You could also use spiders poison cloud or worms tremor bomb as well but I didn't need to take it.
Level 66 so far on Garden (on easy, of course - but it is e furthest I have gotten so far). Close to 200,000 points. I finally got the achievement of levelling all characters up to level 15, plus the ones for worm, fly, and termite at level 20. Now going for all four sniper turrets - that is probably what will kill me though. Barely staying ahead of the food loss with termite's cultivator. Demolished my magnifier and trying to get enough to bring my first sniper to max. Taking me forever though. Back to the grind...
Hi guys just wanna ask if theres a known problem of game hangs (stops) if there are tOo many turrets and enemy on the map if using an Ipad2??? I have this game on my iphone 4 and ipad 2 havent experienced the same "bug" when iam playing with my ip4 but yesterday my friend borrowed my ipad2 and liked the game so was playing it for about an hour and reached around lvl. 20+ on kitchen the the lagging and hangs occured i was puZzled since i thought that ipad2 have better processor and i have played this game on my ip4 longer than 2-3 hours but havent experienced he same bug... Is the game not optimed for dual cores?? ( like left 4 dead 1 for PC was not optimized for multicores before that i need to disable multicore support)
Argh, I messed up and got overwhelmed easily in round 25 in the new map. I think I'm beginning to understand the Queen Ants infestation problem haha. Even though it was only 2 Queen Ants...I think I need to try Termite instead of Worm. Team Ant- Stick- Worm. Hey, you did well without Fly and I thought that was impressive. Most high scores have Fly on the team. It would be even more impressive if Ladybug was on the team. So are you sure eating mushroom doesn't add bonus to nuke? What about Stick's earthquake or something like that? It felt like mushroom does give Nuke some extra damage for me.
