Doesn't seem to work for me. Double-click on the exe, nothing happens.

great idea and well done! i liked it very much.

Runs OK for me. Sooo, the towers sink, that's interesting. Would need to be more balanced to keep me playing, it's a bit too easy. But the idea is interesting!

This is a pretty awesome prototype. Five stars for innovation, I love the idea, it's a really refreshing departure from the brainlessness of most tower defense. I would actually recommend at least considering axing the "lift" element, as I felt the game was much more interesting before I had built them, when I thought everything I built was bound to be impermanent. Also you might want to work on your art, since from the screenshot I wasn't expecting much. Oh and the music doesn't seem to loop. Nice job though!

Yeah for some people it doesn't run, I wish I know why. I was able to half port it to directx, so hopefully that helps.

I appreciate everyone's feedback!

Neat little tower defense-esque game with a unique twist.

really cool game design and a great idea. i played this for a lot longer than i thought i would. please continue development after LD, there is some serious potential in this

very cool game, too bad for the sound (couldn't have the open gl version to work)
I think you have something here, you should continue to work on this game

Really cool idea, I wish there was a goal though, and the game becomes really easy once you started placing lifts. Good work.

Excellent idea for a game mechanic!

jlay 2014-04-30 00:28

Wow, cool mechanic!

Very cool mechanics. Highly innovative. I needed several attempts to survive the fisrt minutes, but when you have enough money nothing can happen anymore.
Maybe increasingly difficult enemies would be a good idea.

This is a really awesome idea. It's rare to see a defensive game with an innovative twist.

Neat gameplay concept. While brainstorming, I came up with the exact opposite idea, haha. I'd like to see some more balance as well. Keep it rockin!

dreii 2014-05-01 01:12

This was actually a very unique and fun game! With some time and expanding on the ideas it could be something really cool!

kunzbe 2014-05-03 00:26

Interesting mechanic!

blazingfanfish 2014-05-03 01:54

The concept is interesting. If there's update, I'd love to see it. :)

Took me a second to get the hang of it, but I really like the strategy involved with the lift object. Bummer about the DirectX lack of sound.
