Nice adaptation of the theme.
I like the particles enemies, and the melody is relaxing.
Controls are not intuitive the first time but that's ok then.

Neat graphics and the beams blowing up the enemies is a great effect. Wish there was a way to recover energy though.

Fun!

Two things I would like it to have:
- Know to where the tower is aiming at
- When you switch towers, skip the inactive ones.

@xrm0 Yes I made decisions to leave those two things out to make the game harder, but I think you're right it probably just creates some frustration.

Very nice adaption of the theme :)

Nice, a lovely use of the theme and a nice twist on Missile Command style mechanics.

Lovely vectors and sounds, Player 2 kills would frequently not register, but we had fun playing.

Neat idea of switching between multiple laser cannons. I wish they would have recharged after a period of time. I got 51 kills and 3 hits, then the enemies quit spawning.

hard to figure out which one i wanted to use util they ran out of laser juice then the choice became easier

Interesting game, specially in single player. I enjoyed it :P I featured it in my video compilation of Ludum Dare 27 games, if you would like to check it out, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOZnQrkIteE

Really like the mechanics, and you've nailed the theme, but, as said above, controls aren't very intuitive which leads to a lot of frustration. All in all, pretty good though.

i like how you made a two player option,that was a good idea.

Nice job, its a cool spin on missile command.

Nice twist on an old school formula. Really challenging too! Good job!

Cutting greenish blobs with beams is pretty satisfying! The sound effects were perfect and different sounds on each cannon was a very nice touch!

Audio was really good! I wish there was more of a goal and a way to get more fuel back or something to make the game more interesting.
