 Would it be possible to allow the 1st wave to be released right away, if the bottom left button is pressed. One always has to wait until it is at 25% before the button works on Wave 1. I'm sure it was in by design, but annoying when you just want the 1st wave to start. It seems like I spend a lot time waiting for it to get to the to 25% mark on most games. I guess I am sounding impatient :), but if you play a lot you wait a lot.

I have a feeling this is for a number of reasons.

If this were possible, one could theoretically amass an arsenal of powerful laser towers, unleash every remaining wave in rapid succession, and laugh hysterically as they all get caught in the same wave of laser fire.

Just another thought, even at current capacity I see my phone (3G not 3GS) kind of start to lag when there's a crapton of particle effects going on.  Having the power to release every wave near simultaneously might just put too much stress on the wee little iPhone powerhouse.

Just a couple of light bulbs.  There may be more reasons in addition to these, and I may not be right with either.  Who knows . . .

Yup, 25% delay is on purpose

Sending waves early is a valid strategy at times, not just an impatience thing... so the 25% delay is important to the balance of the levels. :)

Right....

 I would not want the game play to change at all. I am talking about wave 1. Remove the 25% delay ONLY on wave 1. Must not of made myself clear. It would not impact game play at all.
