I got to wave 15. Was good fun, but difficult. Control keys were difficult to use. I would like to use keys for build selection as well, and use keys further apart.

I got to wave 15. Was good fun, but difficult. Control keys were difficult to use. I would like to use keys for build selection as well, and use keys further apart.
Was quite fun, I got to wave 15, liked the idea of combining tower defence and platforming. The art for the cave wasn't very good, but it went well with the game's aesthetics. Some sound would have been good too, overall, it's a decent game.
Hey guys, I am updating the game here based on the response I get:

I am not sure about this stone texture, so tell me if it feels better.
I got to wave 15 too. I think it is too difficult in the beginning. I found it the most difficult part, after I understood that I needed to build one turret and one drill with the first money the rest was easier.
Maybe we should start with one drill.
A minimum rate of resource generation would prevent a situation where you have 0 money and no drills, which is a dead-end.
New control system is slightly better, but I think if you have each build on a shortcut key it should just build them when you hit that key (rather than using E).
I got to wave 28, but only because enemies getting stuck in the middle allowed me to create drills to harvest at leisure and could probably go on indefinitely. This is however necessary, as there is no delay between waves; I'd suggest 5 seconds or so at least, assuming the getting stuck bug is ironed out.
That said, a fun little game in all!
Novodantis and claudioa, I updated the game in response to your feedback! I feel like it made a more enjoyable experience, so if y'all want to check it out, here's the link:

It's pretty cool. The game is mostly about just running to keep up with suicide bombers.
lol
Cute game. I included it in my MiniLD #66 compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/aSwmulqrieg
