At first this seems very simple, but it is a lot of fun!
Hey, just soloed it as a defender!
Okay, here is how you beat it alone:
1) Chose the defender - in the late game fighting off the spiders is the limiting factor
2) Check all the lines and find out which are the shortest and longest
3) Focus on keeping the longest ones running, these need to finish first. Fix them, fight off siders attacking them, only fight off spiders on the two shortest when you do find the time and DO NOT fix the shortest line
4) When the three longest lines have turned green, clear the shorter lines of spiders and start fixing the second longest. When pressure from spiders is high, kill all spiders in sight, fix one section, fight again and so on. Do not worry about taking some damage (as long as you don't fall below 1/2, do always immediately kill large spiders that attack you and bombarding spiders only if they do hit you but keep repairing when they don't) and don't stop fixing when a single spider attacks your line, you will be able to kill it after finishing fixing. And always waste your last shots to reload if after fighting you are low on ammo!
5) At last fix the shortest line. This should be short enough that you dont' have to run much to reach spiders and ideally when you were able to fix it, you can cover everything on one screen
It still requires some skill but by now I can consistently beat it
Reviews for "Powerline Guardians"
Thanks for the review, even I can't get through the defender solo 😅
I love how you can revive other players, it's a simple addition that makes the multiplayer a lot more fun.
The ranger role didn't change much about gameplay, but playing as the mechanic or defender changes how you play a lot, and makes your role in the team very clear. Really fun with friends in a voice chat.
Thanks for the review and for nominating us for first place in the jam, I'm so glad you liked the game and were able to play it with friends and voice chat, it's really cool and that's how you can get the most out of this simple game, multiplayer makes this game. Ranger was called "BalancedChar" during development, I think we've reached that middle ground, by the way we have a difficulty increase system based on the number of players, so playing solo and playing in four are completely different things, thanks again and good luck!
Theres a bug sometimes where the next joining player gets control of the others
Thank you! I have encountered this bug before, but I thought it was an engine bug, not mine, but after your review, I decided to double-check and found it! Now this and several other bugs are fixed.
Why do I have to make a account just to play this?!?
You don't need an account here, when the authorization window opens there is a button "Continue as GUEST" which does not require creating or logging into an account
really nice little game, but too bad there are not a lot of players online as it would be really fun to play with someone ! nice Job
Thank you
