Post Your Dungeon Defense High Scores Here!

[MorganRoberts]

Do You Have What it Takes?

You’ve spent hours experimenting with countless strategies, assembling defenses to the n th degree of perfection, worn down the “M” and “G” keys till your fingers cramped and you have nothing to show for it?

If this sounds like You, why not post your High Score here!

A few rules on High-Score submissions:
1. Must be a picture at the moment of, or just before your Crystal Core explodes.
2. You may also include a snapshot of the High Scores list that will correspond with your in-game score for clarity.
3. Only 1-player high scores are accepted in this thread. Feel free to start a multi-player High Score thread.
4. Obviously no Photoshop or image manipulation of the high scores will be permitted.

At this time, Trendy Entertainment has currently reached a high-score of:
23542 @ Wave 12






Can You do Better?

Morgan, you're a strategic genius haha. I can't get past Wave 10... yet

Will post my high score soon!

Im with Jeremy. Wave ten is rough !!!

i thought it ended at wave 10? or was that just a goal because that's all the devs had beat at the time ..

I can't get past 4, game runs too slow at that point.

[MorganRoberts]

This demo actually goes on for infinity. We just said wave 10 in all fairness because it becomes insanely difficult at that point. The high scores in the game are currently just scores to aim for. The greater game currently in development, has each level with a set-amount of waves to complete.

I'm sorry to hear your FPS drops at around wave 4. During development, we took into consideration that as each incremental wave will have a pre-calculated amount of enemies on-screen at once to help cope with FPS. As a suggestion, you could try lowering your resolution and/or turning off Post-Processing (But it won't look anywhere near as colorful).

[JeremyStieglitz]

Yah, Blade also told me that he has a pretty slow computer, so it's very much related to his specs

But definitely with postprocessing disabled, the fillrate push on the GPU is much reduced!

u know what they say, devs are bad at their own games, i win!

[JeremyStieglitz]

LOL, well that's very very impressive RF!

However, we only KINDA believe you because technically it's easy to 'edit' the High Score list that's displayed there (it's simply contained in an INI... more recently we've switched to using DLL bind + data encryption for all saving, but not in that demo).

If you want us to bow to your skills with ironclad certitude (and ask you to be a playtester on our larger game), you'll need to post a gameplay shot that beats Morgan's score (preferrably just before your core busts). Then you'll have our attention to say the least haha!

Also if you don't mind telling, what strategy did you use to reach Wave 15? And did you then quit out of sheer exhaustion (it can happen), or did the enemies eventually overwhelm your defenses?

Regards,
Jer

well, there are only 3 pathes to the core, so i setup my defenses there, one barrier, 4 magic towers, and 4 fireball towers.

and i did not quit, and the core did not burst, i died while trying to cast mana bomb

[JeremyStieglitz]

Ahhhh, sounds like you must have carefully tended to your setups in each area to reach Wave 15, that's mighty impressive. I don't suppose you get a gameplay screenshot before you died, to show us your victorious accomplishment in-game?
