Beaver Conquest has many little pieces to it that can really change the game play depending on whether or not you utilize them to your advantage.
Both your grenade launcher and all of your mines have unlimmited ammunition. This means that when your cool down is finished with a mine, there is (usually) no reason not to use it. So this means after you use a land mine, once the cool-down finished (thus you can deploy another one), go ahead and lay it down. It's likely that it will come in handy later in the level.
After every level you get bonus money based on how much signal strength is left. So the better you do to keep the robots off your signal tower, the more money you make.
Challenges are very important because not only do they get you extra money, but you need to complete them in order to get higher-end upgrades. Which you'll need to get through the last levels.
Stuck on a level? Can't seem to get past it no matter how hard you try? Well stop playing it, and go back to an easier one and build up some cash. This way you can buy some upgrades to make those harder levels a little less 'hard.'
This is a bit annoying, but since the enemy waves are not generated randomly, you can memorize the enemy waves so you'll know what to expect. Just keep playing it until you beat it.
Q: I have the gold, why can't I buy more upgrades?
- There are 3 levels of upgrades, in order to gain access to teir 2 and teir 3 upgrades you need to beat the minimum number of levels and challenges. Teir 2 requires that you beat the first 5 levels (including tutorial) and complete at least 2 challenges. Tier 3 requires at least 9 levels completed and 6 challenges.
Q: How do I save my progress?
- Beaver Conquest automatically saves everything.
Q: Can I have your game for my site? Do you sell individual licenses?
- Yes, I do sell individual licenses (I can incorporate your branding and API) if you are interested send me an email. If you just want the normal version of the game you can have that as well.
Q: Can I pause the game?
- Yes, hit 'P' during gameplay.
Q: How do I return to the menu screen mid-game?
- Pause the game with 'P,' then press 'R.'
Q: Do you sell licenses for your game?
- Yes, if you're interested in purchasing a personal site-locked version of the game, send me an email: michael(at)thebanditsociety.com
Q: Can have your .fla file or see your source code?
- No.
Q: Is it actually possible to beat all the levels and challenges?
- Yep, the last two are super hard but I have beaten them myself, you might just have to memorize the enemy waves :P
