Even if it's a good development performance, towers and mobs are too classic... And the game is too much unbalanced.
You should had a gameplay mechanism linked to your theme (prison break). For example, the player could have to light up the level in order to allow the towers to shot the deserters.

@Meedoc:
The original plan was to make everything dark, and the mobs be invisible unless they got into range of the tower, but I never got that far in the end. And I'm aware it's really unbalanced, and I'm really sorry. I just couldn't be bothered anymore.
Thank you for the feedback though, moocho appreciatedo.
Runs at about 1FPS on my Windows 7 machine, the side bar menu takes about 5 seconds to come out, so it's unplayable for me.

Runs fine here. What we have here is basically a skeleton of a TD, but the engine is solid and works well. Played to the end, too.

@Hempuli:
You sir, have my utmost respect of patience.
And yeah, maybe a TD game was probably a bad idea for LD after all.
Thank you. :D
@Darkcoder:
I have Win7 too, it uses OpenGL I think. (SFML), it might be worth searching for lag issues and SFML, I remember some people did have some similar problems. Sorry.

Nice basic TD game, but lacks depth and more gameplay. The graphics lack contrast and variety. A little guidance at start would also help. Also calling triangles "prisoners" doesn't qualify it as "escape" theme :P TD would have to have a twist to earn innovation/theme at LD.

It's a tower defense, not much else to say. It miss a "send the next wave already" button.

Unbalanced clone of tower defense, anything stopped to happen in wave 2.
