You might want to disable the record and build hotkeys while the player is renaming their existing cursors. The game goes a little nuts when I try to name something "craft arrows"
This is a fun game. I think getting access to more recordings should be restricted, either through currency or a special milestone (you have x food, x swords.) potentially a storage thing, although currently unnescessary as you can optimise to never drop below full everything quite quickly.
Essentially, forcing the player to choose 3 recordings, or making each one cost a higher gold total, could make this game more challenging and interesting, imo
I made an update, i'm gonna test something similar where you actually have to buy cursor slots, and some will have hard requirements to unlock. probably gonna toss in a meta currency too just in case the new limits end up feeling too brutal.
appreciate the ideas, glad you're enjoying the game :)
The key to stop building/recording (ESC) is closing the fullscreen. Just have R/B also deactivate the build/record.
Unless you want to have this game be very stressful, consider having the recording done while the game timer isn't running. It felt very annoying to have an attack wave start during a record, which either forces you to break your recording or risk your buildings getting destroyed.
Also the game slows down quite a lot when you have many mice doing their thing.
After a while the game devolves into "Place a tower, use record to spam click it" repeat it a lot. (Same for "place forest, record spam click on it") I'm not sure this was intended as it is.
Hello, I bumped the enemy spawn time up to 60 seconds to give you more breathing room to record new cursors. If anything went wrong, you can always just delete that specific recorded cursor from the right bar and try again.
Also I am working on optimizing and more content. Really appreciate you taking the time to write this up.

interesting concept, its not fun though… i think it could be fun easily though. very cool. i hate that towers dont auto fire, kinda weird

definitely my bad, totally forgot to lock hotkeys when a text field is active. It's fixed now, thanks for the heads up
