<p>
	Hello,
</p>

<p>
	I've been enjoying elememt td.
</p>

<p>
	I have only 2 achievements left but I tried following description but I cannot unlock for some reasons.
</p>

<p>
	So, I would be the grateful if you give me specific example for Rainbow defense and Minimalist-Maximus.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	So far, I've tried 7 towers which were periodic and one of each element towers for Rainbow Defense in Express without any duplication of element type any time.
</p>

<p>
	And I tried exact 9 towers which were some mixed(including lvl 2) and some lvl 4.
</p>

<p>
	But never exceed 9 at any time.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Thanks.
</p>

	Hi, big fan of the EleTd genre, keep up the good work <span><img alt=":)" data-emoticon="" height="20" src="https://forums.eletd.com/uploads/emoticons/default_smile.png" srcset="https://forums.eletd.com/uploads/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" title=":)" width="20"></span>

<p>
	<span>I have been playing the mobile EleTd for some time now and i am really wondering how people score over 2 million points. Not asking for a complete solution, just a hint or some tips maybe <span><img alt=":D" data-emoticon="" height="20" src="https://forums.eletd.com/uploads/emoticons/default_biggrin.png" srcset="https://forums.eletd.com/uploads/emoticons/biggrin@2x.png 2x" title=":D" width="20"></span></span>
</p>

<p>
	<span><span>For example i played Ruins on insane +rush/random/caos without leaking till past wave 55, survived till wave 61 and scored somewhere around 1.5 million. Current global place 2 has more than 5million score on same map/difficulty and reached wave 62. Where does that giant difference come from? </span></span>
</p>

<p>
	<span><span>This has been asked before but no sulutions were offered and its bugging me enough to ask again, sry <span><img alt=":D" data-emoticon="" height="20" src="https://forums.eletd.com/uploads/emoticons/default_biggrin.png" srcset="https://forums.eletd.com/uploads/emoticons/biggrin@2x.png 2x" title=":D" width="20"></span></span></span>

<p>
	I recently purchased Element TD for iOS and I love it. It's SO DIFFICULT to find true Tower Defense games for mobile apps, most of them being modified TD genre games or very imbalanced but this is what a TD game should be.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Are there any plans on making more TD games besides Element TD? I really liked Gem TD back in WCIII (the original one, not that garbage in DOTA 2) and it would be amazing to have it on Steam or iOS as well. As far as I know it doesn't have any copyright claims so it's up for grabs right?
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Also a suggestion. It would be helpful if the game's HUD showed the current points on all elements at all times as an option so I don't have to click the mana button to see what I have. I hate I have to click it every time I want to see what I get when I play random mode.

<p>
	Hi guys, love the work you're still doing after all this time. I've been playing since the beginning (remember rainbow towers and interesting towers?) and had fun helping you with the starcraft version testing a little bit. Anyway I just wanted to say I've been having a great time with the mobile version, I love the double speed and skip to next wave features! Anyway here's my question:
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	I haven't been trying to hard to get a high score till recently and now that I am, I'd like to know more about how they work. I usually do builds that really take their time such as far right side on grove (numpad 6) and slow towers, always making sure to have the creeps make two passes so I get maximum interest, but now I'm wondering if that is helping my score or not. The speed bonus is based on how fast the wave dies, and not if you have the double speed on, right? And if the score awards me for both net-worth and speed, has anyone done any kind of testing to see which provides the bigger score, trying to kil the waves asap versus dragging it on to get more interest ticks? I'm just curious if anyone knows before I do the testing myself.
</p>

<p>
	I've played maybe 20 rounds of insane with light-dark-water, and I can't seem to get past about level 38. I can only make it past 33 with more than like 8 lives if I try to spam the various combo towers, and it's not pretty because their damage is all pathetic.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	I'm thinking the balance in this game is kinda shit at this point. I'm not convinced that every combination is winnable on insane, which it really has to be to say it's balanced at all.

<p>
	Awesome guys!  Just got it and finished a game.  <br>
	I am so happy that I can take my favorite TD on the go with me.  
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	I can see that you guys worked very hard on this.  
</p>

<p>
	Thank you guys.  
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Here are the notes: 
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	- Element selection process can be improved.  The edge glow is not enough.  Several times, I didn't realize that I had elements to select.  Implement another visual cue to highlight that it's the user's time to pick an element. Adding a flashing arrow could draw attention it.  
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	- I didn't even realize that I had to press Start to begin the game.  You need a bigger attention grabber there.  These things need to be obvious, especially to a beginner.  
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	- Improved death animation would add a lot.  Right now, it's awkward. Maybe try adding a fast fade-out?
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	- Great controls in general.  I was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked.  
</p>

<p>
	But, the outer edge selection could be improved.  Here is a picture: 
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	<img alt="Untitled-1.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" data-fileid="3036" src="https://forums.eletd.com/uploads/monthly_2016_06/Untitled-1.jpg.f09a1092acce2da502bbeaebac7d54c6.jpg"></p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Right now, pressing anything outside the green lines (basically blue line and out) completely de-selects everything.
</p>

<p>
	Make the blue-line a neutral zone.  I can't count how many times I pressed into the blue area and lost all my selection.  
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	- How about a selection lasso with a 2-second long press?  Long press locks the screen from scrolling, and enables you to create a sim-city style grid to select your towers.  
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	- There is no information for the next wave unless you click into it.  Make it visible on the main screen.  It is a very important piece of information.  
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	- There needs to be text to the elements.  Here is an example of how it should be: 
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	<img alt="element.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" data-fileid="3037" src="https://forums.eletd.com/uploads/monthly_2016_06/element.jpg.50df5f40a053eed7a9917abafea2155c.jpg"></p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	- Upgrading towers is a massive confusing process.  Display a tree when you press on the tower.  I'll do a mockup of this later.  It's midnight and I need to go to sleep.  
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	- Level 3 Element was INSANELY hard to kill.  Also, it was very hard to see its HP bar.  
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	- Too quick especially being able to skip the wait time and playing it at 2x.  Add more waves.  The game felt like it ended way too soon.  Maybe adding 10 more waves to it, without elements, could work.  I dunno.  Maybe 5 waves. 
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	- Add a quick tutorial that makes beginners play through the first 15 waves.  Also, most importantly, release a free version to just play the tutorial.  
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	- Everyone, go leave a review of the app.  
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Aight, I'm going to sleep.  I'm sure I'll have more notes as I play some more.  
</p>

	Hello!
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Great game now even for android! great work!
</p>

<p>
	There is some stuff that you could improve, tho most of them that i was thinking about was pointed out by another member here on the forums in an different thread, now to my matter:
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	The scoring points feels like it need an overlook, or maybe its working as it should just that i have missed something? <img alt=":)" data-emoticon="" height="20" src="https://forums.eletd.com/uploads/emoticons/default_smile.png" srcset="https://forums.eletd.com/uploads/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" title=":)" width="20"></p>

<p>
	So<img class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" data-fileid="o_1alfg2p351u9a134mbvc12pc1t8cc" src="https://forums.eletd.com/applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=&amp;key=2f1ae52247856d9170aa668a7eca23f3347133aba07fd461649aabc11027aa1c" alt="" data-imageproxy-source=""><img class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" data-fileid="o_1alfg2p35n4on31qm1r85p2ob" src="https://forums.eletd.com/applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=&amp;key=2f1ae52247856d9170aa668a7eca23f3347133aba07fd461649aabc11027aa1c" alt="" data-imageproxy-source=""> for a <strong><u>normal game</u></strong> for each wave, if u kill the creeps at spawn point u get the following multipliers?
</p>

<p>
	Difficulty Bonus: x1.0
</p>

<p>
	Clean Bonus: x1.3
</p>

<p>
	Speed Bonus: x1.9 (i think this is the highest u can get?)
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Here is two screenshots, this one at the start of wave 55:
</p>

<p>
	<a class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image" href="https://forums.eletd.com/uploads/monthly_2016_06/57641aae4d0ca_Startofwave55.jpg.0f64cf7b21e0e4fa5b1d19208f877545.jpg" data-fileid="3042" rel="external"><img class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" data-fileid="3042" src="https://forums.eletd.com/uploads/monthly_2016_06/57641aae92323_Startofwave55.thumb.jpg.9fbcf72f11532302efa1c998a4a18b1b.jpg" alt="Start of wave 55.jpg"></a>
</p>

<p>
	And when wave 55 is complete your score make a jump, in this case from 179k to 978k.<a class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image" href="https://forums.eletd.com/uploads/monthly_2016_06/57641b4e9b3f1_Afterwave55.jpg.076f2a1338a1067c370b0e839742b6f6.jpg" data-fileid="3043" rel="external"><img class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" data-fileid="3043" src="https://forums.eletd.com/uploads/monthly_2016_06/57641b4eb2969_Afterwave55.thumb.jpg.ded76501e32b977bf258354920512297.jpg" alt="After wave 55.jpg"></a>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	If its working as intended whats making the score go from ~200k to ~900k?
</p>

<p>
	what multiplier is kicking in after final wave, or is there some hidden multiplier that kicks in after final wave? <img alt=":)" data-emoticon="" height="20" src="https://forums.eletd.com/uploads/emoticons/default_smile.png" srcset="https://forums.eletd.com/uploads/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" title=":)" width="20"></p>
