Really creative concept! I love how the backpack mechanic blends with different concepts. Can’t wait to see how it evolves!

Nice TD game!

Here is some feedback from a former game designer on Raid Rush (which is me):

  • The tutorial would be more effective if it were more visual and less wordy.
  • The info pop-ups in the shop seem unnecessary; you could probably fit that information directly onto the item cards themselves.
  • I didn't die even after enemies destroyed all of my buildings. I'm not sure if that's a bug, but I think a clear failure state is important for learning the game, especially in a roguelike.
  • The hero art on the UI is awesome!
  • The shaders and textures are very cohesive, but the proportions of the models don't feel entirely consistent with each other.

I'm really looking forward to playing the new updates!

Hey there!

Thanks a lot for your feedback. I agree with your comments about the tutorial and UI, and we’ll try to implement these changes as soon as possible. The fact that you didn’t die even after everything was destroyed was a bug, but we uploaded the WebGL version and this issue has been fixed... I hope so! Thanks again, we’ll be sharing updates soon!
