[Ten Second Slaughters]

In response to the author's response....

Your response to the review about a 'monsterpedia' and probability:

A monsterpedia isn't possible because the weaknesses and resistances change every game. However, the point of the info at the end of the level is so that you can develop a strategy. It's all about statistics; if the monster was weak to a tower, it's unlikely that it will be weak to it consecutively. A tower being strong has a 1/3 chance, but that same tower being strong twice in a row is much less than that.

Unless you're saying you programmed the game to take into account a previous rounds strength and weaknesses, the chance of any given outcome should remain the same. That's like saying if you flipped a coin and it came up heads, than it would no longer be a 50/50 shot if you flipped it again. This is Statistics 101. Which means there's no compelling reason to list which tower was strong or weak, since that info won't carry over to other games. Which means this game is not skill-based, but sheer luck.

Not trying to be a hater; I really liked the concept and I enjoyed playing. But the only strategy involved is grinding until you win.

Rabid-Animals responds:

You misunderstand the statistical analysis. One must consider that the probability of a coin coming up heads twice in a row is not 50/50; each discrete flip is 50/50. Sure, some luck is involved, but if you really think about it, there's a way to hedge your bets a little. Another reason that we listed which tower had what reaction was just because it's kind of neat to know. Thanks for the review.

[What is Success?]

Brilliant

Clever little 'game', liked the setup. Reminds me of the 'where do you bury the survivors' riddles and so forth. Great effort.
