I really enjoyed this game.
although I do not regularly play TowerDefenses.
It was addicting to keep playing and I might play it again later only thing is music gets a bit annoying and repetitive!

jeremy1080 2012-08-27 02:26

You can turn it off :D That's why I added the settings on the right hand side!

It wasn't really clear where the enemies were going to enter, so I ended up placing my towers at the end the first time. Not really a problem, but kinda confusing. The process of evolution for the towers seemed like a pretty standard thing for TD games. A serviceable TD game without much new stuff, but I did like the orbital motion of the towers.

jeremy1080 2012-08-27 02:44

Thank you very much! And I was worried about that, so I thought I put it in the description in game that they would be coming from the bottom, I must have missed that, sorry about that! But thank you for your feed back! And ya I liked the evolution idea of the towers myself, because most TD's have you upgrade towers with coins, but I took it a step further and made the towers evolve with experience :D

I really liked this TD. By wave 30, I felt the game could have moved a little faster. I'll leave it up and mess with survival mode for a bit :) The sound effects are quite mellow and not sfxr, good work.

jeremy1080 2012-08-27 03:06

Thank you so much! And by faster what do you mean? There is a fast forward button on the top right corner! :) Thank you for playing it!

Simple TD. "Evolving" without branching seems pretty typical of TD games. I only lasted to the second wave where a whole stream of guys got by while I had 0 gold and 4 blue towers.

jeremy1080 2012-08-27 04:13

It's all about placement! You gotta make sure you have towers that can hit as many blocks at a time as possible!

I found this game absolutely enjoyable. To be able to place towers and let them level themselves was a great idea.

jeremy1080 2012-08-27 04:27

Thanks! And seeing that message popup about them evolving gives you that, YES! Kinda feeling!

Really nice job!
I love TDs, and one thing that I always have in mind while playing one is "Why can't those damned towers upgrade themselves?" Well, these surely can!

Good job! (:

Loving the crazy particle effects going on here. ;) Also a nice idea having the towers upgrade by themselves. I went about 20 waves in before calling it quits... I'd really like to see you add to this game with additional/evolving enemies, and maybe even a feature where towers end up evolving into other towers... anyway, nice work!

I died a few times heading into level 4 or 5, but once I got the hang of it I ended up annihilating them! Very well done, especially in just two days, nice!!!

jeremy1080 2012-08-27 05:28

Thank you all so much! I wanted to challenge myself and make something I have never before, and a TD was just that! If you guys want to see the progress I made as I did it check out my blog! sayersj.com!

I made it to level 172. I love TDs and this one is pretty good. There's a dramatic difference in damage between 'clockwise' corners and 'anticlockwise' ones, which is non-obvious.

noxious 2012-08-27 18:42

Got more :D
198!

It's a nice game, but not really about Evolution.

jeremy1080 2012-08-27 20:42

Wow really great job! And I tried tying it in with evolution as much as possible! That's why I have the towers evolve! Thanks for playing!

fritzendugan 2012-08-28 20:46

Game was really bland as far as tower defenses go. No real differentiation between towers (where were the slow, AoE, stun, etc.). Different levels would've been nice. Would've liked a refund to sell back towers, or at least an "undo" in case you accidentally placed a tower.

Music was nice, sound effects were effective without being in your face.

jeremy1080 2012-08-29 02:38

Thanks! And there is a destroy button for when you place towers on accident! Thanks for the review!

echa 2012-08-29 02:40

Nice game!
I don't undersand why earth tower range is "medium".

dwrensha 2012-08-29 03:33

Well done. The blood splats are a nice touch.

panda 2012-08-29 05:08

Very fun game! It's great to have a complete game (with sound even!) and I really like how the towers evolve! By looking at how quickly they are evolving I can see if I put them in good or bad spots. The game feels complete, with a menu and even several modes. Congratulations!

jeremy1080 2012-08-29 10:14

Thank you guys so much! All the support is making me even more excited for the next LD48!

fritzendugan 2012-08-29 12:16

there is a destroy button, but you lose all that money, thereby usually making you have to restart

phocker 2012-08-30 02:45

fun game -- i loved the particles flying everywhere -- so much fin

noxious 2012-09-01 09:56

"I don't undersand why earth tower range is "medium"."
Me too. The only thing I see is that they got more damage but they are slower and only have two "bubbles".

So I only built Blaze towers.
