Here is an android version: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14880911/Fire%20%26%20Ice.apk

Great concept and use of theme! :)

I really like this! The graphics (specifically the tiles) put me off at first glance, but I took a chance on it and was not disappointed. I really liked having to micromanage turret placement to deal with the oncoming threats, though I'm not sure how the game handles which turret is placed where when I click on an unoccupied tile. Other than that though, awesome game!

I wish there were more stages to play through, but nice job!

I couldn't seem to figure out how to place turrets. The art looks nice though.

I'm not usually a fan of tower defense games, but this was pretty good. It defeats the usual issue I have with TDs in that it isn't just "set up and let it run" as you have to constantly switch the towers there and back.

I'd really like to see this fleshed out to a whole game.

Cool twist on the Tower defense genre - when it starts to pick up, its really cool to be forced to juggle between the two tower positions.

disdanes 2014-08-25 03:30

Really impressed with what you were able to do in 2 days, I would definitely continue to work on this game! Being able to swap the towers between the two lanes was a great mechanic.

gillenew 2014-08-25 03:37

I could not play, I click the play button and nothing happens :(

renatopp 2014-08-25 03:53

I think it was a good idea to mix to different environments in a TD game. Unfortunately, TD in general, are very difficult to polish the mechanics.

nnelgdabandit 2014-08-25 04:19

Thanks for all the feedback guys! I hope I get a chance to flesh this out more.

Sorry gillenew, if you have trouble hitting the play button just try refreshing the game, that seems to work. I just added that trick to my description.

Good job on the game. Is it just me or is it too hard? Couldn't get past the first level after two tries.

nnelgdabandit 2014-08-25 13:56

Thanks for playing! It might be a little tough, but they are beatable. I put in some tips in the description if anyone needs help.

It was nice to have something to do in a TD game other than sit there and watch the creeps go by! Good use of the theme.

Also, nice job with the music :)

I had a lot of fun with this. The art is simple but eye-catching, and the mix of different damage types and the ability to switch turret around gives it some depth.

I had a little bit of trouble working up which turrets I was switching in - some indicator on the tile to which turret is on its opposite number would help with that though. Overall pretty good.

Did not start on klick on start Button.

cad 2014-08-26 00:34

Good shit my friend. Good shit indeed.

kunonooni 2014-08-26 00:37

What an awesome twist to an already classic game genre. Well done!

fgm 2014-08-26 00:44

Pretty cool. Swapping towers made for some different gameplay.

sikosis 2014-08-26 04:09

I like it. Great work for the amount of time.

darkuser 2014-08-26 04:33

Really solid game. Only thing is I sort of wish there was a bigger map.

mechabit 2014-08-26 14:14

I'm not going to vote because I can't get it to run. I clicked everywhere on the screen and no turret menu appeared. All I can do is press start and then I die cos there are no turrets. Concept sounds like fun though.

mrexcessive 2014-08-26 18:53

Hi there. Love your tower defence game. Manic sound, slow moving but pretty tough to swap orange and blue back and forth. Great job!

heychinaski 2014-08-26 22:53

Great twist on the tower defense genre! Very hectic gameplay, I couldn't keep up on level 4.

graebor 2014-08-27 03:27

Cool, haven't seen a mechanic like this in a tower defense game before. It adds a neat layer of strategy and there's plenty of potential to use the switching to make things more interesting :)

paps 2014-08-27 04:12

Very nice use of the theme.
Good game, I suck at it though.
note: for the issue about the click on start button, it may be related to the bug the webplayer, to "fix it" just switch to another tab, and come back

nnelgdabandit 2014-08-27 04:28

Thanks again everyone for playing and leaving feedback, I'm glad you guys are enjoying it! It's giving me a lot of hope about fleshing this out!

zoomyzoom 2014-08-27 20:13

That got hard very quickly! I love how the two maps share towers!

Oreganik 2014-08-30 04:01

Tight! The game as made is super hardcore, but there's a ton of potential. Great work!

paps 2014-08-30 09:38

Nice TD you got here. I like the difficulty of planning the tower placement

phocker 2014-08-31 00:44

Nice mix of tower defense with the theme. Great job.

shivur 2014-09-03 05:32

Good gameplay idea!

snicklodocus 2014-09-05 03:02

Good use of the theme. Switching towers between worlds adds a different dimension to my usual TD strategy. Great job!

orangeez 2014-09-05 03:49

Nice gameplay; becoming insane at 4th lvl.

saschanarr 2014-09-07 20:15

Great entry for such a short time! Liked the concept of swapping, which felt intuitive for me. I felt the low-range tower was useless though. Great music track!

nnelgdabandit 2014-09-16 20:40

Thanks for playing everyone! Top 500 isn't too shabby!
