Testing Requests:
- More feedback

Hmm... Can you elaborate on this a little more? What usually signifies fun in mvm missions?
I asked similar question to a couple of people and their answers were pretty much the same.
"Custom bots, general theme, soft gimmicks. But you should keep them to a minimum if you making an intermediate mission".
Also, i tried to make waves feels a little bit different from each other balance-wise. For example, most bots on wave 3 aren't damage oriented and serve as a slowly pushing wall, while wave 4 is mostly medium-range damage. Not sure if this is noticeable though.
Main "fun" thing about my mission was supposed to be bisons with random effects. But i overdid it in the first version and now kind of afraid to give them more attention xD
So, any form of advice is welcomed. And thank you for your feedback.

P.S. While watching the demo i saw a comment about "constant stream of enemies". I wanted it to be that way. However, is it usually better to combine bots into larger groups with bigger intervals instead?
P.P.S. I noticed a couple of waves had some leftover small bots after all giants died. What usually is the best solution to that problem? I was thinking about either lowering amount of regular bots or increasing hp/amount of giants, since increasing spawnrate of regular bots might affect difficulty.
P.P.P.S. I'm still not sure what to do with the "it's boring" problem, since i want to keep my mission short and simple.

Thank you very much for your feedback.
I have no experience or knowledge with how and why some things are supposed to be balanced, so i really appreciate any form of feedback, regardless of how harsh it is, because it helps me make small steps in the right direction and get the general feeling of how a proper mission should look like.
I still want my mission to have something "unique" in it, so at first i will try to significantly tone down appearance of those random bison soldiers to the point of almost non-existence, and will remove most obnoxious ones. But if that doesn't go well either, i will remove them entirely.
I'll do what i can to make it a better experience. Thank you for your time.

P.S. Thanks for not linking the second demo, but i still watched it, since i needed every possible bit of feedback :D
