Cool game, the movement and shooting were surprisingly satisfying. screen told me to buy an upgrade but i didn't have enough money yet, feelsbadman.
nice work.

Really cool and well-designed game. The pixels graphics look very nice and the concept is pretty unique. Good job!

NICE EZ!

Nice concept. Instead of hit points, failure to protect the base results in less time/space to protect the base. The graphics were pretty well done. Movement felt correct for a helicopter-tomato-thing. Sounds were good. Music good.

Good job.

Good game! I'd recommend putting the controls on your LD page. Also I got the game into a state where I was no longer able to upgrade or buy anything regardless of how much money I had.

Well designed game, I was only able to get a highscore of 210 it gets very overwhelming very quickly, although i may just not be good at finding a nice balance. The graphics and sound effects are well placed and look great. Overall well done and keep up the great work

Very nice take on the theme, and very cool version of tower defense !
As i'm bad with these games i wasn't able to see very much more than the upgrade thing, but i loved it anyway =)

Pretty good! Controls felt pretty nice, graphics are very cute, music suited it all.

At first I couldn't figure out that the cranks were meant to be protected. (I really should read entries completely before playing. :D) But after my failure it became pretty clear.

Only negative thing I can think of (I'm scraping the barrel for constructive criticism here) is that each play through felt kind of the same. I couldn't apply upgrades to get radically different results.

Very strong entry, good job!

Nice game, the art is nice and I love the music and sfx! Also I thought it will be really easy, but in fact it was quite difficult after some time. Just one thing I would like to see is more enemies or drone time. Good job!
