Interesting game, but very luck-based.  Probability can doom the player in turret selection, turret placement (sometimes Railgun IIIs appear within range of the spawn point), and upgrade availability.  Also, given that ships can't be replaced (ever-more-expensive upgrades notwithstanding), the difficulty ramps up too quickly for me to enjoy this.

Starting at around Wave 66, sometimes waves are empty (no enemies and no credit drop will spawn).

Balancing is a bit whack, but fun to exploit. Although there is only really one effective upgrade strategy. (HP + Firerate)

Also it's possible to start the next phase without placing any waypoints. (which gives no money, but also allows to delay game over indefinitely)

Amazing game!

Only thing I'd want out of this is more variety in upgrade choices (and possibly a reduction of the upgrades' massively scaling costs)

Cool game, but I can't see some of the screen

Shame to hear that. The game has some problems with the camera and some aspect resolutions. We will look into fixing this in the future!

Amazing Game! Can't wait for more content; this is a refreshing idea executed brilliantly.

We have some ideas for new content, but we can't promise anything just yet! We might do a YouTube devlog type video breaking down TAG's development though.

Thanks for playing! ❤️

Very well made

Thank you!
