Dear TD friends.
We have added a Game Demo for 4 stages, so you can feel it. And enjoy the fun with Crank Power!
Please enjoy and share your comment and advice with us. Very much appreciate!!
Looks interesting. Are there plans for updates? How replayable is it with only 3 levels?
Ps it should be life not live top left
Dear pixelsurfer,
Currently there are 3 maps in total with 30 waves per map, we definitely will consider updates, as we all TD game lover. But would consider the comment from all of the gamer first.
For your comment. Live or Life, I am using Live for arcade game. And in the future, might consider to use an icon instead. But right now, I will keep it as Live .
Again, thank you very much for your comment!!
Thanks. I've just tried the demo and it's fun. My suggestion would be to flip B and A on the select tower menu so that A is select tower.
