Nice concept!

Innovative 5, difficult though

Super simple, challenging, super great, definitely the best I've seen so far. I especially love the weird apocalyptic missle defense type mood where you end up with moral dilemmas about which group of imaginary computer people to save.

Very good game, i've spend a lot of time on this one. Congrats

Nice Graphics

Nice concept for a tower defense game. I built a little safe haven in one spot and let the rest of the population die, but nothing touched my buildings heh.

I like concept a lot though sometimes the asteroids would go a little off course and I'd have to sit and wait. The resource management wasn't the most intuitive for me so it took a bit to figure out, but I played a bunch of waves before finally killing off the population (so it was fun for sure!)

dracomagna 2014-12-09 03:55

I like the concept, but the game is actually pretty hard.

It's a little disapointing to lose population at the begining because you don't have enough resources.

Anyway, nice job :D

Fun take on a defense game. I really like the idea of playing a game on such a big axis. Reminds me of Ender's Game, a defensive strategy is not a good working strategy for space, you cannot effectively defend in all directions. I am curious, what do the blue circles do on the map?

I won! Awesome! This is a great game - lots of fun, great graphics, and even sound effects!

jocamar 2014-12-09 04:03

Managed to win on my third try when I learned I had to stick together and focus on keeping my power steady. Good concept and the graphics are cool. I didn't hear any sound though.

Very cool haha Not that well balanced because I won even making terrible decisions haha But with only 23% of population =P
I know how hard it is to balance a Tower Defense game, but it's very well made either way. The only problem was when I made a selection and gave up on placing the tower, I couldn't rotate the game until I placed something. Also, I think some asteroids don't hit the earth on purpouse right? Just checking (It make senses, to actually distract the lasers and all) And lastly, the title is very Douglas Adams and made me play the game haha

cdwaddell - The blue circles represent the population centers. If an asteroid hits them, the screen shakes and you lose population.

I really like this game, I like the concept, and I find this game fun also, this would be great if you carried on with the game afterwards

admix 2014-12-09 16:19

Violent and fun =)

equipejam 2014-12-10 20:33

Good Work ^^

skulioskarsson 2014-12-11 23:39

Very nice

ali312 2014-12-12 04:33

Wow, really nice concept! So innovative!
But it's a bit too dificult

oscarabraham 2014-12-12 04:45

I think the difficulty is okay. You learn through losing. Cool concept, nice procedural content; some actual models instead of colored spheres would make it really shine.

thopis 2014-12-12 18:23

Cool concept!liked the upgrades!

babajaga 2014-12-13 20:21

well done, was always low on energy

knivel 2014-12-13 20:51

Really, really solid entry. I wish the economics of the metal and energy were a little more transparent-- I was often surprised how quickly my guns ran out of energy, or how much things cost in metal. Strong core though, great polish.

andreaswitzen 2014-12-14 20:13

Basic idea is sooo good! The game is fun to play as it is now but I can see a lot of room for improvement. With a little more complex and balanced gameplay, and some better graphics and sound I could see this game selling (like Plague Inc.) I hope you keep working on it!

schnerble 2014-12-18 06:12

This is really cool :) Good work. It turned out a bit easy to win after I got through the first three waves and worked out what I was doing, but I enjoyed the play through.

Nice defense game but maybe it will require some balancing. Actually I was wiped out in my first game, and in the second one I ended the game easily, with more than 1000 energy and 350 metal
