Unique Features
Spectrum TD has 4 main game modes:
- Competitive. Players compete to survive longer than other players, and can spend excess gold to boost the health of creeps for all players and knock them out faster. With 4 or more players, a personal skill rating is also saved and recorded for future games.
- Weekly PvE. Players play in separate solo games, and the RNG seed is fixed for the entire week. Compete to get the highest wave cleared each week and post your results on the official discord.
- Casual Mode. Players compete to survive longer than other players, but their waves are not synchronized with other players and you cannot boost the life of your opponent's waves. Ratings are not tracked in this mode.
- Custom. The host can choose settings such as enabling or disabling creep boosts, changing the RNG seed per player, randomizing or fixing waves, changing the number of waypoints and more.


The cosmetic unlock system allows you to change the look of your maze, such as terrain, rocks and fort.

Spectrum TD has a special Rune mechanic.
Random runes will appear on the ground at the start of each game. Building a tower on those runes grants significant buffs to the towers built upon them.
Relics (2.0.0+) are consumable and passive items that you can choose to improve your towers and drastically change your strategies each game.

Spectrum TD has almost infinite replayability - every game can be totally different with the initial maze setup and distribution of runes and creep modifiers. If you want to experience a consistent system, Weekly PvE mode lets you fine tune your strategies for a whole week.

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION
  • A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
  • A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
  • Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.

Hey, I played several games with a friend and I really love it. The only issues we have is that often someone of us getting desync after 5 minutes ingame.
 
I played two times the v.1.4.0b with 3 other players. Map starts crashing at like wave 4... sadly

selected both times the competitive mode

1.4.1 release.

A lot of bug fixes and some balance changes - we've also had a crack at fixing the crashing error, so let us know if you still get them regularly or not.

EDIT: Looks like the crashing is all fixed! No crashes and no desyncs. Finally, we're on the good world line.

So we fixed that now in 1.5 thanks to a little help from Mayday.

And a whole bunch of new custom UI too!
 
On our discord, we now have a Bot that can be used to query game data.

Typing "/tower" on discord allows you to get the information of any tower in the game, while typing "/ability" will show the full data of any given ability.

See some examples below:

// Typing "/tower Auric Annihilator" and "/ability Auric Erosion"

Gave this map a few runs and it definitely stands out. The amount of systems like runes, relics, and different game modes makes every game feel different, which is a big plus. There’s clearly a lot of depth here and you can tell it has strong replay value.


That said, it felt pretty confusing at first. It took multiple tries just to understand what’s going on, and the learning curve might push some players away early.


Overall, solid and unique map that will definitely click with the right audience.
