It's weird how the game page presents a tower defense while the real game deals with planets? Anyway the one I got to play seems a quite original take on the dodge-the-bullet genre, except sooo hard! x)

Cool intro! I like tower defense games, this one is very basic due to limited time, I hope you can work on expanding it more! Good job!
I also like the intro. The game started out really easy, and I was kicking some butt, then it all of a sudden got really hard :S
Nifty game. I had fun building my cellular fortress. I got too cocky and got destroyed.
Nice and funny game :)
Cool, like it! Especially the intro and the genre :)
It appears to me that wave 13 is too hard, because before that I didn't pass anyone and on the 13th wave I've passed about 8-10 of potential Darwin killers...
Great game. Addictive and the music doesn't get irritating until very late into the game. maybe some soundeffects would be nice.
The intro is really awesome!
Very good game, I failed at the 16th wave :)
cool intro, solid tower defense game!
Nice intro. Leave Darwin alone purrfectioners.
Loved the intro sequence. Best I could manage was wave 14.. Still I think with a bit more strategy I can beat that :D
Okay if a bit basic tower defence, I somehow managed to make the option to buy 40 costing thing disappear somewhere so I could only buy the 20 costing cannons, oh well. The intro was pretty funny.
@AdventureIslands click on the tower you want to upgrade to show the options
Great game, this is the best use of the theme I've seen so far.
Very interesting and fun game! I had done all 36 wave :)
I won! 36 waves and it was over! Once I got beyond wave 15 or so, I finally had some breathing room to experiment, and discovered there are A LOT more species than I thought initially. Although I never could figure out what the spider and insect were for.
@AMSmirnov @JaJ awesome guys! thanks for playing =)
@JaJ If I had enough time there would be many more species! But in the end I had to remove a lot of species and I had to remove the spider and bee features too :( they were supposed to slow down the enemy with spiderweb and honey! haha
Thanks to everyone who played it! You guys are awesome.
Darwin is safe and happy because of you. He thanks as well :D
The game is very playable. Nice graphics and solid gameplay (and I like tower defences) - although after 13 waves it becomes impossible to survive... or so I thought, until I figured out that plants give additional energy. :) When I finished the game, I still was able to click on next wave, but the waves didn't scale - all that came out resembled the first wave (I tried until wave 60 or so). I wish there was more! :) Great game! Also, waiting for the source.
@marudziik I was in a hurry at the end and forgot to implement a win check haha Oh, the source! I knew I was forgetting something =P Thanks for remembering, it must be up right now https://dl.dropbox.com/u/19849504/LD24/LD24.rar
Not bad at all. I really liked this tower defense game: the balance was quite well done, I felt like I was being challenged at every level. I managed to survive until level 27.
The idea of having a "energy tower" path and a "shooting tower" path was pretty neat. It would be nice to have an explanation of what "web shot" and "honey shot" means.
Props for the funny intro animation!
I do take issue with the "evolution = upgrades" thing, but I'm grumpy like that :-)
Thanks for the game!
Fun TD game. I played multiple times and enjoyed the experience.
Hi again, I'm the first that got to comment on the game. I updated my rating since the link seems to lead to the right game this time ;)
So pretty cool tower defense here, quite well-balanced, and with plenty of tower evolutions to explore. Definitely deserves some more stars that what I gave a few days ago. Excellent!
Intro is amazing. Sound is great for LD, graphics are really good. Gameplay is frustrating; five health that never recovers, and insufficient funds to even begin generating funds make it a pain. I don't think it's possible to attain what you show in the screenshots without cheating.
The game is addictive, so extra points for fun. Did finally beat it; the trick is to put one eukaryote at the beginning, then upgrade it to a plant with more eukaryotes further down the track. The plant will generate enough energy to get you started in the time it takes for the waves to get killed off, which you can use to double or triple your offense, and upgrade your plant to get more energy.
