Well, I spend quite a few hours testing diffrent things (sorry, I do that with TD games), and want to point out a few things, ehem (wall of text hidden in spoiler tag):

Spoiler

- if you beat level 1, then you get to level 2 and level 1 become broken (it will start using the path from level 2)
- if you have changed between texture pack N and D and then change level with home/end you will get a wierd mix of those textures
- I didn't notice before level 2, that sometimes one/more of them becomes a (WIP)/boss with more health and surrounded by circles, if it reaches the end then the spawning dies and he seems to live outside the screen
- the barriers .. haha .. they are just scary, dunno what happend, but they started to cluster up so the towers had problems to target a single enemy, and the game started lagging so that 10x speed was the same as 1x, and then a single fast enemy crossed the line and raised the fail counter with more then 70 (and the bugger eat my mines ><) .. didn't use barriers after that
- the upgrades cost 20 for any tower, which makes it pointless to upgrade the first tower since you could as well buy a new tower for the same price
- *sigh* all the towers does single target damage .. makes it pointless to cluster them together and using the ice tower
- the most expensive tower is not worth its money, test round with "machine towers" vs "40/60 fire and machine" confirmed that, and it doesn't seem like the fire damage stacks, ( maybe give the enemy "burn+=5" .. and the enemy got "if burn{hp-=burn; burn-=1;}" then it would stack and higher stack would be more deadly, but make a limit ^^;; )
- dunno why, but it seems one get a money bonus when the next round starts, even negative bunus if you let anyone thru..
- gotta love the forward button.. and mute, because at round 30-40 there is realy too many sounds .. and I'm using headphones
- only managed to do a few rounds on level 2 .. I'm not sure about level 3 tho' so I just left it alone
- the amount of enemies were way above my expectations Oo;; made the last rounds take quite a bit of time
- the game got the common problem with damage dealt and tower cost which make one tower stand out as the only needed tower ..

anyway, it keept me entertained .. will look out for updates.

Oh wow! Thank you for all the information! You're so awesome!
I'll be going through your list and fixing/improving based on what you said.
I'll be balancing it out as I develop it, right now I haven't put in any thoughts towards balance, just features
You pointed out some big flaws though, time to get to work!
Thank you for keeping an eye out for updates, I would love more of these posts from you

Hopefully most of this will be fixed in 1.8.3.6

Added changelog!
