Trap Testing (whats the best??)

By Lamb

I want to do a controlled test for all traps.
I will continue to test every trap until finished, starting with floor traps.
Score, Wave & Efficiency.

Thanks for reading my guide.
I love the min/maxing of games so an endless mode is right up my street.
Appreciate any support to get the guide seen (Like/fav)

I also have released my own game on Steam called "Dead Profit"
I am an Indie Game Dev currently working on my second game atm.

Lots of Love,
Lamb x

Heyo! I know it has been a few months but are you gonna be continuing this?

Lamb [author] 14 Jun, 2023 @ 12:39am

yep, you're right but as I said I was doing a controlled test, cant change the rules for one trap.

This doesn't really show much, as the briar patch is one of the strongest traps there is, for 1000 no other trap gets that much coverage, once it fully spreads it pretty much deals damage across whole map, which keeps combo going for a lot longer.

I get Wave 50 without a weapon:

Wall:
Grinder, ICE WALL

FLoor: Tar, flamethrewer (skill also for wall), flowers.

Roof:
2 laser over tar, next to it 3 Spike shoter with ice.

3 tar on floor, next to it 3 grinder on wall, over it 2 laser, next to laser 3 spike shoter, and Flame threwer shot in to the tar. And flowers behind Flame threwer.

Place everythink in a corner and u get get wave 20 easy with these 10k money. ...use barricades.

BUT I FAIL at flying orcs without weapon, no trap is strong enough... 50 laser 1 line and they dont die
