For the record I know about MOST bugs and I'll be releasing a bugfix in a day or two! Go ahead and report any you find and I'll make sure I include those.

Excellent game! Very fun to play, although I think turrets are a little too rare, only had two on the first round with heavy soldiers, got owned D:

Yeah I'll be working on a small update to balance the difficulty a bit. (of course version 1.0 will still be available since the admins of the site get a little picky about updating games) Glad you enjoyed it so far though! :)

Great game, tower defense games are always fun in my book, I like that your not just placing the turrets it adds a nice twist to the classic TD games.

Fun game to play, and it's actually not too repetitive (which I first thought it might be). Audio isn't intrusive and makes the game feel relaxing, and I do like the evolution side of it (evolving the player) which makes it more than just another tower defense game.

Fun, but not to innovative. However I love the art!

Does the game have dependencies on installed libraries, game engines or similar? I keep getting 'Unexpected error occurred when running the game.' System is Win7 64bit and reasonably fresh installation, e.g. 2 weeks old.

Very solid tower defense! The visuals are very impressive. I just missed more turrets. Good job!

Really solid tower defense game. Graphics, sound were very well done. Thought the intro text went on a little long, but liked the style and presentation. Great work on this!

That was really fun! You had me for several hours there. The gameplay is really solid, and I liked the durability on the turrets; that's something I've never seen done before. I didn't like that the second shot alternated randomly from side to side, it wasn't possible to tell what enemies were going to take the middle path, and that I couldn't figure out how the enemy damage system worked; for game based on strategy it's hard to work with random things. That being said, the graphics were very good and the music sealed the deal. Overall, very good job!

Please make a Mac port!

Well done game man, really had alot of fun playing it thru, made it to wave 9, really impressive what people are capable of in 3 days. the graphics were excellent, and your mechanic was executed flawlessly.

Wow, great job Nate! This game is really fun and well polished, and the music is catchy too.

Very cool intro narrative, and I loved the graphics and music. I found the game didn't progress as quickly as I thought it would, I the second time around, I wish I could have skipped through the the intro text. All around a fun game! :)

rb100 2012-08-31 19:34

love it.. your game is perfect my friend..

natenaterson 2012-08-31 19:38

@whilefun: You can skip the intro text actually! Press Enter. The "EVOLUTION.EXE" text cannot, however (but it's only like, 5 seconds long and adds a bit of a break in the gameplay to add tension.. so I think it's needed.)

@RB100: Thank you so much!

rb100 2012-09-01 15:41

please make autosave feature

natenaterson 2012-09-01 18:37

@RB100 I'll consider it for the content update.

A very good game!! I really enjoyed it!

zelen3d 2012-09-04 22:35

I liked the music, I haven't played 1.1 yet, but seems like a promising game.

mohammad 2012-09-07 22:30

I just can't stop playing!
I expect to see great things form you!

creative630 2012-09-12 19:59

Awesome little game, I agree the turrets were a little rare and the waves just take soooo long. Great music, simple and very effective. Good job all round.

goerp 2012-09-12 20:05

haha, the link above makes it look like the game is meant for windows 1.0 I'll give it a try anyway ;)

I'm not good at tower defense, so didn't get beyond wave 4. I think you did a lot of work and its a nice game. But I was totally blown away by the music: The White Stripes could have made that. That is music with attitude!
Also liked the retro intro, but thats because I grew up with a Commodore 64.
Oh yeah: the autosave suggestion!

Excellent graphics! It all looks and sounds very professional, especially the intro and story. However it seems quite stingy with the number of turrets you get - I got to wave 7 and didn't have nearly enough firepower to defend the battery.
