Solid TD!

Nice hectic take on the TD genre. Loved the explosions. Simple and nice! :)

Cool take on a defend-your-base game. And great explosions. It took me a long time to figure out where it showed the cost of new buildings. And it's too hard (or I didn't understand something)! I had all the first 4 upgrades, and I still couldn't find a way to defend the first level for more than a couple waves.

RESOURCES RESOURCES RESOURCES! I always build 3 metal mines before anything else, and very rarely build research at all.

I enjoyed it, I think this could be an interesting concept for a game if it were extended.

Haha, this is fun!

I don't get how much anything costs. So sometimes I really wonder why I can build 3 small drone towers directly one after another and sometimes I can't build one of them for a really long time. Also, it would help to grey out the stuff I can't buy right now.

Awesome song.

Somewhat difficult (at first, anyhow), but over all very enjoyable.

I would love to see how this game would play with more involvement with the map -- IE the map changes, and has features that affect incoming enemies or your defense.

Very cool. Either I suck (most likely) or it escalates much quicker than anticipated. I would consider slowing the escalation quite a bit. I love the graphics and the clever take on TD!

Pretty good TD, it just needs some balancing, but that's for the future of the game. Great work!

Nice singing :D, cool game

Fun, with great graphics! At first I had problems working out why I couldn't place things. The explosions are fantastically big and gorgeous.

Very cool. I like the audio, and the overall idea. Would like to see this expanded.

Simple yet Fun.

LDTD!

krides 2013-08-27 16:19

LDTD indeed :-)

Not sure where the theme worked it's way in, but the game play was solid. Though I'm not a fan of how resource production AND resources were consumed by building structures.

lazyeels 2013-08-27 16:21

Cracked me up! Cool little ditty and explosion audio! I love the explosions actually. Reminds me of Trex Warrior on the Amiga.

photon 2013-08-27 22:35

Honestly, the game makes little sense to me. I don't understand why I can't place certain buildings at certain times, despite my resources appearing to be high enough. I can't get past the first wave... :(. Its still a cool-looking little game, but I just couldn't make much happen with it.

Solid gameplay, I haven't seen many tower defense games this LD, thanks for the challenge

diptoman 2013-08-30 09:59

Had a great time playing this~! The idea of actually using the resource produce rate instead of just resources is challenging and innovative!

makio 2013-08-31 20:10

This sound is absolutely funny! And I like this simple play.

ratalaika 2013-09-01 10:16

good job

tijmentio 2013-09-01 12:06

Pretty fun!

wilbefast 2013-09-10 12:22

Solid game yes, and the starting song is a funny surprise :)

The game works well, with lots of nifty explosions, but it's also very difficult: seems like you need to die and upgrade to proceed. Well I suppose that's kind of the idea ;)

I'm hesitant to complain about the interface (ours is worse) but I did find the font very small and hard to read and the feedback on selections not to be sufficient.

Nice defense game. I just can't earn more than $3000 even after the first upgrades, but maybe I'm not fast enought. will have to try again.
