*EDIT* I changed the word voodoo to magic since that's what they're called on the tooltip but I noticed they're called voodoo towers when you view the properties. It would be a good idea to unify this and use either Magic Tower or Voodoo Tower for all.
Very nice! And addictive... This is a high quality game, original and polished. Great job!
Not run it yet but wowsers from the screenshot you look like you've really been busy!
I was just about to ask since I paid for the beta version where my update email was, but then checked my email and there it was!
Downloading now, merry christmas! ;)
Ohh found bug with Survival mode.
Uploaded new version. Fixed game texts mistakes(Thanks Perturbatio!), fixed bug with Survival mode and bug with loading game in 2-nd location, when raids becomes negative.
And those who downloaded first version, please do not cheat in Survival mode :) Or at least do not send scores to online highscore table if you have cheated. :)
New version can be downloaded from old location:

Hey guys nice job - great looking too!
IPete2.
Looks really good!
great job. something to really be proud of :) unique, beautiful, fun, and... addictive ;) its way past my bedtime and i still cant make it past the second defense :)
That looks nice!
I really like the in-game menu.
Nice and addictive game, congratulations !
Sergio.
Thanks! :)
Great game, lots of fun!
There's a bug in windowed mode where the mouse becomes very slugish. On my faster PC at home its not as evident (ati x800 pro) but this work one (ati 9550) is unplayable. It's not an FPS thing for sure, the game runs smooth on both PCs, just the mouse is sluggish. I tried with and without vsync, same thing happens in both cases.
Same for me, the mouse acts someway strange, even in fullscreen.
I get a MAV (Memory Access Violation) error when I press CTRL+ALT+CANC to lock the computer; after unlock, the game bombs out with the MAV.
Other than this, TowerDefence runs smooth and it's quite addictive. The orc animations are pretty good, I like the way their 'soul' evanish when 'killed', the water in the 2nd level moves also nicely, the overall graphic gives an immersive experience.
However, I would add more 'power' to the upgrade system - the one changed with 'experience'; right now the cost is high, and the weapons does not really become very strong, when compared with the orcs..
Also, some raid comes with just one monster, which is a really strong one ! no weapons seem to take effect, and it is indeed really angry, because when it passes the level, lots of innocents are eliminated...
I've got also a small quirck by saving and loading a game. I've once experienced this: once loaded a previous saved game, the loaded level were without towers - while I know there where a lot ! Going back to menu, and selecting new game, and then loadgame, has cured this behaviour.
Last but not least: the cost of any tower upgrade, in my opinion should be shown in the main tower desription; because it's quite annoying to have to check it each time by hovering the mouse on the upgrade button.
I mean, right now if I want to know how much would cost upgrading a tower, I have to select that tower, and then hover the mouse on the upgrade button. Would be better to show the current upgrade cost togheter with the other tower informations in the main panel.
Regards,
Sergio.
P.S.
I can't figure out how to pass the 2nd level... Tried also all the three ice/poisons/fire upgrades - which are expensive ! - but when the orcs get faster, there's not way to stop them... any hint ?
P.S.2
How can I get the survival mode working ? Is that enabled only in a licensed version ? Because when I press 'Survival mode', nothing happens.
Thanks for comment!
>I can't figure out how to pass the 2nd level... Tried also all the three ice/poisons/fire upgrades - which are expensive ! - but when the orcs get faster, there's not way to stop them... any hint ?
Upgrade towers to their max. Place fires far from each other. Upgrade Poison magic a lot and place Plant towers between roads.
hmmm..i grabbed this - i was totally suprised, its great :]
- at first i thought, hmmm...kinda lame, is that it?!..then
- i discovered..erm..well, i kept playing it....and again,
- and again...and again :/ :]
The only thing that suprised me was that it slowed down
quite a lot on my system - my system is only 800mhz with
radeon 9600pro, but i dont really folllow why it slows down
so much...hmmm, are all those beasties using boned
animation?...or are they md2?
Are you using any kind of spacial partioning to break areas
up..or as you simply testing collision between all active objects?
anyway..it rocks ;) - goodluck :]
Looks great ... I'll have to give it a play!
"Also, some raid comes with just one monster, which is a really strong one ! no weapons seem to take effect, and it is indeed really angry, because when it passes the level, lots of innocents are eliminated..." <- you have to build ice towers. they freeze the monster they attack and as theres only one monster it is frozen all the time and you can easily kill it :)
Apparently something you're using in the app is listed as malicious by spybot S&D

*EDIT*
It *looks* like it could be a false positive.
Perturbatio
Hmm.. it is very bad.:(
I haven't using any extra software... just compiled blitz exe.
I'll download Spybot and check files.
Thank you for figure this out!
Defoc8
Thanks:)
If it runs too slow, try to slow down game time and disable VSync option in Settings.
All monsters are md2. Boned .B3Ds were too slow for this game.
Just checked all system with Spybot(with latest database) and didn't found any spyware or adware.
You might want to mail the Spybot creators (It's the Spybot S&D resident app, TeaTimer that's showing this message).
This game is nice, but needs an auto-savepoint after each new level!
And I don't know how one can kill the boss monsters. IMPOSSIBLE? :/

nah, you just need to plan a little better :)
ohhh, so this game is written in Blitz eh?
as I'm not getting any answers on the topic on CodersWorkshop, I'll repost here:
Wow, truely awesome and addictive. I'm really impressed.
I have a few questions though:
What were the tools used?
What installer do you use, it's pretty neat?
Can we get a complete lay out of who worked on this game?

semar
I found on both levels if I build two towers, one for
walking enemies and one for flying enemies and upgrade them
all the way before building new levels that I can beat them
both ... except the second level when the demo runs out.
on the second level concentrate on building and upgrading
the walking tower for the first two raids then concentrate
on the flying tower.
Hmm, I'm not able to kill the second boss second level in the demo. :(
Is there skills that are preferable to get that flying @#!*?
if you have an ice magic tower, you can kill every boss..
how is the score assessed?
I have a problem with the second level from the demo.
I`m not higher at 23 / 30. That very bad...what can i do ?
Edit: Ok now i see the demo screen with the option to buy this game. And yes....i buy it. This is a very nice game and i have fun with it. Keep up the great work !
Ice9
