Infinite Tower Defense results

Thank you to all play testers who in the last 2 weeks played the first version of my game, Infinite Tower Defense. I got excellent feedback and suggestions from you. We learned a lot from you and we really enjoyed having you play the game. It is always interesting and fun to see new crazy innovative strategies to beat the game.

As promised in my announcement post, three players that offered the best feedback will have their names included in the credits section of the game (with their permission). These people will be contacted by me in person and you will all see their names in the second release of the game.

The results of the playtest are officially in. You can download a pdf file with all the fancy statistics here. If you don’t want to go through the trouble of reading 8 pages of playtest results, I give you the most interesting right here:

- playtest duration: 10 days
- unique testers: 48
- completed surveys: 34
- gameplay sessions: 126
- countries where the game was played: 16
- country with most players: Romania (35%)
- longest game session: 2h 15m
- most time spent playing in one day by one player: 7h 10m
- total time played: 2d 5h 32m
- top highscore: 557849
- average score: 22700
- average game rating: 6/10
- most battled enemy waves in one game: 132
- average enemy waves battled in one game: 18
- highest difficulty level reached: 83/100

Keep an eye on my blog for the announcement of the second, improved version of the game which I will release in June. I took the game down up until then, but if you still feel like playing a Tower Defense game in the mean time, I recommend my all time favorite,  Gemcraft.
