This was really, really nice. It could've done with some instructions as I just kind of blundered about at first, and knowing what each of the upgrades did would've been handy, but I really would love to see more tower defence games with this kind of mechanic. You really are onto something. Great work.
That was really cool! I too blundered through the game at first before realizing the upgrades were stacking when possible! Awesome idea and well executed too. The levels were different but it seems like my "brute-force" as many towers as possible approach worked for all of them (+continuous laser). Maybe some enemies that are immune to certain attack types would be a good addition. All in all, pretty darn fun!
I like this game, I like most Tower Defense games, this is good.
When I try to play on the web, I get a ClassNotFoundException: com.pickandblade.towerevolution.GameContainer
If anyone gets a "ClassNotFoundException", I really don't know what to do about it. In my experience, this usually means the JAR file did not download or was corrupted. Try checking your firewall or clearing your browser's cache.
Really fun! The maps are well laid out and require some actual strategic planning to beat. Kinda frustrating how the shuffles can leave you SOL though. Would have also liked some sound! I hope you develop this game further.
Surprisingly fun! A fresh take on a genre that I have left long ago but it seems with this one, I might come to like it again. Continue this, please! :D
What a nice TD game :) Loved upgrade system! Good job!
This is possible the funnest game I played since I started rating games. It took me lots of time to get the game running...(realizing that I have to open the .html and not the jar). plus at the current time your web link shows error 404.
Dude, getting an error, man.
My sincerest apologies for the website being horrible, everything should be fixed now.
I got this error from trying to run the java frame:

@darkshadow, it seems you are using an older version of Java. I will see about making my game compatible with 1.6, but I suggest updating.
A nice idea, however I found that I was getting far too many upgrades, and not nearly enough towers. I was just changing my tower for the sake of using my options, not because I wanted to.
This was a good idea, but I did exactly what tupperwarespoon did, in that I used upgrades for the heck of it instead of actually needing them, or needing to put much thought into where I needed them most.
You had me at tower defense :)
Nicely done and very fun. I enjoyed it a lot.
Really cool idea, tower with 7 canons XD
But it's too easy when you instantly get the next upgrade, maybe you can add a timeout or something else so the game would be more challenging. Well done.
interesting change to a tower defense. i like that the upgrades are random. but it makes it to easy i think with the amount of new choices you let the user take.
Balance seemed odd and icons not intuitive enough, but overall it wasn't bad :).
