Hallo!
This is one of the first detailed reviews I posted over on DonationCoder.com
That link is:

This is an interesting "little brother" to a Tower Defense style game. The enemy aliens travel only on a certain diagonal path, so this suggests a winning strategy of planting your crop fields in the corners.
After a couple of early rounds just getting the initiative, then you slam on the accelerator by upgrading all your turrets and planting lots of fields. I don't know exactly what the final triggers of a win are, but somewhere in that range where the aliens stop damaging you and you have a lot of fields going works.
By the way,
The DonationCoder LudumDare 32 April 2015 thread is here:

It happens to be their 10th anniversary! I don't program myself ... so I am unleasing Weapons Grade Enthusiasm!
If you stop by DonationCoder, please put in the code/tag LudumDare-Tao so they will know it's my doings that brought you in! I'm not
part of any of the site structure ... just doing my bit for my favorite site on the net!
Also over there, I post a few of my detailed reviews of some LD games. Yours is one of the first!

Really enjoyed the visual feedback and the polish. Easy to pick up and play.
Interesting use of the theme, I think the unconventional weapon is the aliens starving out humans?
It plays very well! Only thing I do not like is sometimes you start with almost zero fields and other times I started with lots!
A fun little farming/tower defense game. I don't see how turrets fit in as being "unconventional" but still a nice little time-waster. Good job!
Thank you !
Yes, this is the "unconventional weapon". Concerning the fields, it is random (not enough time to make a "balanced generation").
Extremely cool, this is totally my type of game. It is deep enough already so you can try out different strategies. I seem to have noticed a steep bump in difficulty around day 4 or 5 ? I am not sure.
Great work.
Just came back to tell you I managed to beat it. Tons of fun, would love to play an extended version of this.
Yep, around they day 5 if I remember right. I think one day I will make an extended version, for mobiles maybe.
Very cool, addicting game.
Very fun and well polished.
I got crushed the first time and thought it was too hard. Then I switched my strategy and it felt too easy. Balancing these games is always hard. Best of luck.
The difficulty seemed a bit harsh at the start but after I started upgrading the turrets it became pretty easy. The difficulty scaling could be improved, but overall it's a fun game and an interesting take on the theme.
It was a fun game, I played it to the end(I love these types of games). The sound when alout of guns are shooting will however get a bit loud and annoying after awhile
Looks great. Simple and fun game, especially for those who like turn based strategy games. At first it seemed a little bit hard, but you can get used to it.
Dommage qu'il n'y est pas de musique ! J'ai bien aimé le jeu. Un peu trop facile tout de même !
Oh, un français :). Oui, c'est facile il faut bien l'admettre... J'aurais également aimé ajouter de la musique. Mais bon, je travaille déjà sur une nouvelle version.
I found a bug that made it really easy. You can always buy upgrades to your towers, even if you don't have enough money. So spend all your money on towers and farms, then when you can't afford any farms, upgrade all your towers.
Really !? I had never noticed this before, thank you for the information, I'll try to fix some bugs in a future version (Post-compo).
i really enjoyed this game - very nice attention to detail and we designed - thanks for making this!
