Guide for survival?

[Kälävätys]

Would be pretty good if there were any.. I just can't get past level 25 no matter what.

I usually start "leaking" (if that's the right term or not, I have no idea because it doesn't say it anywhere but I assume it means the axons getting to the point) only after level 19 but then it feels like everything starts to get through no matter how many defenses I have or what upgrades on them. Yea, I make longer paths but then the game spawns those which travel through the towers and all of a sudden I only have 15 lives out of 130.

I look what other people have had on their build, get the same stuff and 9/10 times die before getting to level 21. After 20 or so hours I still have no idea what I'm doing wrong or right. The Single Player campaign or tutorial doesn't really explain that much.

You can remove ground tiles behind towers to make pitfall gaps, axons can't fly over gaps.

What kind of things could the tutorial explain that would be helpful?

Also, just to be sure, you are putting points into the meta techs right? Survival should be getting easier if you do.

Yes I'm unlocking meta techs, picking stuff which for me looks like is the most helpful (is it actually is different thing).
In my humble opinion it would be better if the Tutorial explained how every tower works, or how you should use them, but I do realize that might be a bit too much to ask, considering how many towers and traps the game has.. Maybe give a little tip of what kind of towers work really well together or something like that? The tutorial kind of "cuts short" (it tells you the basics of a TD and a TD which uses mazing but not really too much of the game itself, if you get what I mean).
For an example I recently watched Potato's video about the game and from that noticed I can toggle to see the damage numbers from towers, which I didn't know was possible. Unless I'm total idiot and it was included in the tutorial and I just somehow clicked over it without reading? Everything is possible.

Maybe it would be enough if there was a little "wiki-like" tab in-game? Full tutorial missions not necessarily needed at all. Would be nice to know more about the different alien types as well. Like what works against what etc. Of course some are pretty obvious (plasma against armor, something which ignores shields and armor is always good, etc) but still.

And yes, I am aware of the fact that I suck in this game, I'd just like it to be a bit easier to learn :)

This is one very important note. I had no idea about it but it'll make survival quite a bit easier. Very big 'thank you' for this.
