Hey,
Youāre more than welcome, again itās only feedback, so you can happily choose to ignore any, or, all of it
Regarding the tools selection - there were times where I did actually do exactly what you had designed it to do, e.g. place more than one of the same defender (I keep calling them tools, sorry!)ā¦
It only got a bit sticky when, for example, if I hesitated to see what enemy was coming next, and from where, with my finger removed from my phone there would be the sprite for the selected defender effectively floating - somewhere - on the level. Not always, but on occasion that would leave me to then wonder whether I had placed it (if it was over a square) or not, leading to double tapping and confusion.
Now, this is only feedback from me, so thereās nothing to say that the idea is wrong at all. What it may suggest however is that some more feedback could be required from additional people, before you consider a change to the feature, but maybe asking them specifically for feedback on that feature in question.
An alternative would be to go ahead a try a different tool mechanic, and offer more than one build so that players could try a couple of differences, e.g. keep everything else the same, just change the tool selection mechanic and then see what people say when they respond. Often the feedback from just one person could be deemed to be their personal preference rather than necessarily something that really needs to be changed.
Personally, I like the idea of being able to place the same defender more than once with out reselecting it. I donāt like the little floaty sprite. A happy middle ground for example could be that once you select a defender at the top, it remains selected until the player changes it to something else. Perhaps you default it to a star generator, as these are affordable at the beginning on each level anyway.
The one issue I think this would introduce at the moment, is that currently you light-up defenders that can be purchased, e.g. they have enough stars. Thatās a really nice feature, and one you wouldnāt necessarily want to lose. So, is there a way to still light-up affordable defenders and indicate which one of the defenders is currently selected on the toolbar?
Again, this is just one personās feedback. I try to offer as much detail as I can, as I find people are usually very receptive to it on the forum, I think in part because they are pleased that someone has played their game after the work and effort they have put in to it. It will be a pleasure to try any updated version of your game, your current version remains on my phone and my son has also enjoyed playing it
