Crystal Guard TD

This game has a lot of potential, but feels quite unpolished. For a dollar I can't really complain even if I only play it for half an hour, however if the creator is looking for ways to improve this game: #1. Have a way to increase game speed to 2x or 3x. That is a must for tower defense games. #2. It is very clunky to place towers. First you have to buy them, then you have to drag them onto the map. That really makes the game difficult to play. #3. There is no progression. You seem to just start with all towers available and get a random selection of them to choose from. Part of the fun of tower defense games is the rogue-like element that allows you to unlock new abilities. I really hope that the creator keeps working at it and improves some of the play-ability aspects of the game. #4. As far as I can tell you can't upgrade towers. Maybe you can. I only played this game very briefly because of the clunky interface. If I had paid more than a buck I would probably ask...

There is a speed up button, but no ability to pick your towers targets. In addition there is a tower cap that you can buy upgrades too, but it never goes over ten. There are a wide variety of towers, and you can merge same-type gems to upgrade them, 3-1. I have only gotten a few towers to level three, but it seems like there are only twenty levels so there isn't really time to do more. You can continue after level twenty as a form of endless mode. There is only one foe, and it is cute, but aside from a little run animation, no effort was made to make things look decent. They only have one angle, running to the right, so they run ba...
