Looks like this is linked to the debug version, MSVCP100D.dll

You're right, good catch, thanks a ton!
Replaced it with a release build, should work now.

Good game with cool new mechanics. Some sound effects and music would make the game a lot more colourfull.

Hmm, lacks sounds. It is a good game though and I enjoyed playing it, so Kudos! :)

I can't turn :/ So it is a little hard to do so much :(
I think the explosion, when they die is awesome :D

Original idea :) Wish more comfortable controls, but right now it looks cool!

Wow I followed your streams from time to time and never thought your game would be that hard to beat. Ok, maybe I just dont got the controls right. I really like the idea of manipulating the shootingpath.

whoa! Really cool! =D I like it!

This would've been a lot more user friendly if the mirror had it's pivot point in the middle.

This is a very clever take on both tower defense and the theme.

Nice Entry, i like the idea

This was a fun but challenging tower defense game. It was fun trying to aim the beams. The graphics had a lot of character. Nice work.

Fun :P I think sound would have made this one of the best games here... :L

nicso 2013-05-01 20:44

sorry but you are way too much out of the theme :(

avidgamernino 2013-05-01 21:38

You watched me play, Sound guy just failed... lol. Great Idea, love the mechanics of mirrors. Fun all around. No sound = minimalism I guess.... maybe just 1 sound..

gamexcore 2013-05-02 21:34

Clever mechanic, but very difficult.

dew 2013-05-04 08:50

I made a tower defence too!! The idea of multiple path is fresh and great :D

Nice gameplay idea. Although general angles seems like a good idea, it might have worked better with more regular angles (like 45 degree increments). Controls were a bit... surprising... at first.

This is a really fun and hard game which can be really frantic at some times.

HelkeGames 2013-05-10 19:05

Nice game, well done!

spiridion 2013-05-11 23:11

Great concept. I think the mirror controls could improve a bit, especially since the pivot point changes based on... Randomness? Definitely needs audio, but overall I like it.

tifu 2013-05-11 23:16

Most original Tower Defence I've seen in a long time, but very very hard. The mirror doesn't seem to rotate how I'd expect, like around the centre? Good job, even if I suck horribly at it :)

kibertoad 2013-05-15 18:51

fun and pretty. lots of enemies and interesting mechanics. nothing to do with minimalism though.
