so... to add some element of replayability to this game i've started playing through without using any armor or gear. The little gems that you collect permanently boost your stats, and their effect lasts even if you use the escape wings, so it's something that kinda has a cumulative effect. There are some problems though. If you don't use equipment, you're sorta obligated to use magic. the spell casting mechanic is a pain. if there was a way to simply 'turn on' the imbuing ability, or to cast the spell before entering combat so you're not racing to drag the little magic icon over your character, it'd be a huge improvement.

With regard to 9/18/13's map, I would say move to lower left side of the map immediately. A single blaster is the only thing you really have time to build, but if you're in the pit at the top of the map you can't shoot fast enough to stop the creep. The lower left has a little high point that allows a blaster to be placed on it a little later in the map. i don't suggest trying to claim it right out the gate.

Desperately needs the ability to rotate buildings since resource management and building planning is a pretty important part of the game. Pipelines need alot of work and are a major aggravation when playing this game.

My only complaint is that the game doesn't have a lot of replayability once you go all the way through two or three times. it'd be nice if there was a dungeon timer or a something to do with gold pieces (other then just letting them accumulate forever). Maybe if there was some sort of gear customization option that let you modify the look or even the stats of items for excess moneys after you beat the game, it'd add alot to it. A dungeon timer would let people compete through speed runs. Whether it's an actual timer or a move counter, i think it'd get the same result.

I think we need the warp beacons from Creeper world 2; the speed boost nodules are a better way to handle packet speed increase, but there's times when packet speed is always going to be too slow. I wish there was a way to physically shorten the distance that the packets had to travel. It could even be a relatively large object to place and it would still offer significant benefits.
