Correct. In order to unlock overkill, you must be overkilled. You can accomplish this by either hitting 2 zombies at once when at 1 health, or gettting hit by a buff zombie at 1 health. Basically anything that puts you at -1 health or below.

Hi there, I would just love to point out that I am a huge, huge fan of this game. Please do keep up the great work. I am strugling my ars off completing the first campain but I am getting there. I only got the hang of the game today and I love what you are doing with this. Thanks sooo mutch for all the efforts that goes into making this game possible. Keep the good work once again!

best regards

Ok, so my findings:
1. I feel that after each wave, you as the player should atleast get 1 extra health point if you aren't hurt.
or something like that to make it slightly easier.  2. when reparing your defences, I feel that you should pay atleast half of what the defence costs when you initially purchase it. Since you aren't purchasing a new defence, you are just reparing it. Something like that. Please don't feel forced to implement these changes, I just wanted to provide my 2 cents.

best regards

I'm glaad to see you're enjoying the game. As for being able to get more health, that is something I will definitely look into. I've had ideas bouncing around for a while about that, but I think you're on to something with it being after a wave.
I'm kind of confused about what you mean about the repairing defenses thing. Would you mind elaborating a little?

Awesome. what I meen by reparing defences, what I meen is that currently when you want to repare A defence that you placed, you pay the same price that it costs to buy a new 1. Like let's say I want to plant a land mine. It costs 6 gold when I first plant it. However when it is damaged, you still pay 6 gold to repare it, however I feel if we can pay half of what it costs to repare it, then it will cost 3 gold to repare it, that would add a bit more ballance to the game. I hope it makes sence.

I think you may be confused about the repair system. Repairing any defense only costs 2 gold per damage. I appologize if I misunderstood you or if this is unclear, but whenever you repair a defense, it only costs two gold. This makes the only defense not really worth repairing cannons.

Hi.
I finally got time to check out the game. I like it a lot after having got used to it.
It seems like you get more gold by killing zombies as a player than making the defences killing the zombies. That make you quickly run out of gold.
It would be amazing to make this game multiplayer, where you could play against the computer. More people who joined in multiplayer, the more zombies should be in the levels.
Maybe it would be great to have a tutorial campaign to teach people the basics of the game.
I managed to get one of the achievements by accitent, but I don't get most of the hints. In most games, you are being told how to get the achievements rather than having to guess out from hints.
Other than that, I really like the game, and I'm impressed that the game have full graphics. So, if multiplayer got introduced at some point, then blind and sighted people would be able to play together. then I also think that both text chat and voice chat would be nice to have in the game.
Keep up the great job.

Best regards SLJ.

hi is there a way to turn that music off completely? i try the page up and down keys but they don't really seem to do it.

2024-02-18 15:46:25

@308
You do not get more gold killing the zombies yourself than you do with defenses. It's probably the RNG being agains you, which is definitely annoying at times. In the campaign you always get 2 gold for killing a zombie no matter what. While multiplayer is something we've thought about, it is not in our immediate plans. This doesn't mean it definitely won't happen, but it will probably be a while before it does.
We do in fact plan to make a tutorial campaign, and remove the achievements system entirely. It didn't turn out the way we hoped. You can watch the first Nibble Nerds Dev discussion if you want to get most of them though. 2 of them come from progressing in the campaign.
@309
You should be able to turn the music off with page down a few times.

Wow. Okay so this is infuriating. I have now died on the second to last wave of the final plains level 4 times. You'd think I would have learned at this point, but nope.
Round 5. Fight!

That level is... almost as hard as blind fire.
It is doable though, as long as you learn from your past lives and keep optimizing your movements.
I think I probably played it a hundred times today before finally winning: one mistake in the early waves is game over.
If you lose a tower at any point or an enemy escapes, quit and restart.
Major spoilers ahead:
My overall strategy was to start with sniper towers in row 7, then add catapults in the four main corridors (1, 3, 6, and 8) in row 8, and finally mortars in those same columns of row 6.
Land mines at 3,2 and 6,2 gave a small boost when I was having a hard time, but I think the campaign can be won without them and if you can find a way to do so you'll have a better overall result than I did.
I found the sword the most useful weapon by far. The only other I used was the staff: charge it when you know your towers can cover a level (1, 4, maybe 11), and use it for you-know-what.

2024-02-22 04:12:45

That's a really creative strategy. The use of the solar staff is something I never thought of.

I had a row of snipers on row 8, scattershots on 3,6 and 6,6, those died a lot so probably wasn't the best idea, I had landmines on 1,3 3,5 6,4 and 8,3 and then I used the sword. I finished the level and only got hit once because I was dumb and lost no lives.

Hey guys!
We've just released a new update for Wave of the Undead, adding a new zombie type, the disabler, or DSBR for short. Whenever one of these hits your defense, it disables it until the end of the wave.
You are free to use these in the ongoing level design competition. As a reminder, the winner of the competition will be able to join us in another video if they wish.
We also lowered the price of mortars to 10 gold. Hopefully this will make them more useful.
Finally, the last level in shadows unleashed should be a bit easier now, so go beat it if you haven't.
Enjoy the update and good luck with your designing!

Hey guys!
I have a quick announcement regarding the level designing competition.
With the  addition of the new DSBR zombie, we have decided to extend the competition by two weeks, making the deadline April 12th, which is coincidentally the Wave of the Undead anniversary. This should give you plenty of time to get use to the new zombie and make some amazing levels. We can't wait to see them!
The stream will take place that evening at 7:00 PM eastern standard time. Hope to see you there!
We also just uploaded a new video showcasing the DSBRs. Check it out here:
