This is a really interesting concept for a game. The biggest problem for me was how unpredictable the location of the line was, so I couldn't really plan what I was going to do ahead of time.

I cannot play the game (Ubuntu 13.04).
rephus > java -jar tower.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Main : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0
rephus: you probably use an older version of the java runtime environment. you need version 7.0
It's not like other games... I don't know... :|
As someone who doesn't know how Voronoi decomposition works, the area is somewhat unpredictable. An intereresting concept however. Should probably read about the algorithm a bit. Btw, although it says "Linux" on the download, it works on my Windows machine (well, it's Java after all), so it's a bit misleading.
Same, just say java instead of linux.
The music does get annoying what feels like it's 50th loop. ;) Some techno would be much better than the country. :)
Confusing but interesting.
Was a tad bit too confusing for me tbh
Didn't play it with another player but I get the idea... a very nice idea.
Even if I know what a Voronoi diagram is, the game was still mostly left to random because of the marker-placing line.
I think the issue is that the theme does not fit the game quite well (the Voronoi game is better played turn-by-turn, at least by my experience).
On a totally unrelated note, I went through you source code to find which way you implemented the Voronoi diagram, but I was not able to find it. Which one did you choose ?
Interesting concept, would be fun to play with someone and see what tactics you could come up with.
Intrsting .... but as a player I need to know ahead ...add that
It is working on Windows 7 64 bit as well. You should change the description of download link.
