Tower Lab

The balancing is completely terrible the ONLY tower that works worth a crap early game is the bomb tower. But you know whats funny? It also works on every part of the game why would u literally place anything else? No point in having mines that stack up if only one explodes and the rest goes flying. No point in having tesla unless u want to spend literally every tech point u have going into it it FINALLY be worth half a crap. Fan has mostly useless upgrades that barely do anything unless in VERY specific scenarios. Rocket is actually ok but has to slow a fire rate to be worth a 3 energy price (unless you yet again brute force with tp). Like all of these towers are about potential where is the early game? Its literally spam drag them off and pray the last wave of the first zone is mainly wiped out by a BOMB TOWER that u had to place perfectly to shoot when they run by. I don't know if this is the global experience or if this is just me, But this is straight up not fun a majority of the time I'm starting to unlock cool stuff (yet again hyper specific cool stuff) but honestly it was a slog to get there in the first place because early game is such a pain and late game is WAY 2 easy. Honestly half the time it doesn't even seem to matter where i put my tp because the only immediate results i notice are bomb towers. I'm going to keep trying but I am not having as much fun as i would've hoped. I don't think i've won a single game with crane that didn't have me spamming point into bomb tower. The one fabrication game i had was actually not fun and required me dragging the wave manually off a large amount of the time especially when i made the poor decision to upgrade them to flying not knowing they'd persue ONE enemy into the void and do effectively nothing (lesson learned there I guess???). Another thing is why am i getting high mass enemies when the ONLY thing that works on them early game is bomb tower??? I can't even drag them off? Just guaranteed dmg I take i guess. The game is interesting and watching the bombs fly around all over the screen was fun but i just cannot be asked to try all these new things if i cannot survive long enough to effectively use them. The shop upgrades need to be tweaked 2 like why is ONE additional pulling target a rare if its also not going to increase pulling power? You would think a rare upgrade would scale farther than immediate early game (especially since its a rare ur most likely not getting it early game?) Because yet again even if half the time i was asked to manually drag the whole wave off the map i cannot do that with the bigger enemies. I feel like i have all these options but they are fake until i get to a certain point.
