Cool game you've got there. It is very challenging, but I managed quite well even with only a touchpad. Great job!

Too hard gameplay! But idea is cool

Score: 2433 on the second level.
Nice game, but I think it would've been better if the towers could attack multiple enemies at once. Now there isn't much strategy, as long as a tower is max upgraded, it does the same amount of damage no matter what tower you choose, so you can just select the same tower the whole time.

Neat variation on the tower defense genre.

This is stuck on the Loading Screen for me (Safari on Mac)

Quite challenging! But I like the idea of the power core "switch", gives a nice little twist to what I expected at first.

A little bit hard, but definitely enjoyable.

Nice, I got up to 328. It's an interesting idea, but super difficult.

This was very interesting. I liked how it is pretty easy to pick up, but you have to be quite strategic with prioritising your time if you actually want to do well. In the end, time was the biggest resource, so using any free time was very important. Awesome game.

Crashes in Firefox Win 8 64-bit with the JS error:

> IndexSizeError: Index or size is negative or greater than the allowed amount @ http://jadams.me.uk/games/LD28/js/tower.js:258

This happens right after I make a tower. Runs fine in Chrome.

Thanks for the comments everyone. I'll make sure to rate your games in return.

As for the crashes and other issues, the first thing I can say is please try it in Chrome for now. I'll investigate and try to fix problems in other browsers.

jadams 2013-12-18 18:25

Should be fixed now. I've tested it in all major browsers on windows and it appears to work.

nice concept and very good execution but very hard imo

d_0o_d 2013-12-18 18:58

I think this game is too hard.

Hahaha, I suck at tower defense ;) Greate twist to the usual TDs and nice fit for the theme... I'm not sure if the ants spawn purely random, but if you would make spawn patterns, you could make the game easier first and then increase the difficulty. It's not really for me, but still I felt challenged to try again, when I lost ;)

Interesting concept. Unfortunately, there are too many ants :D I would change, that upgrading needs power, because this is the main issue I had: if I start upgrading, the ants run through and I loose.

Thanks for fixing. Nice concept :)

Great idea for the tower building thing
