Was able to play, really liked the game and smooth mechanics , all I would ask for a small bit of background music as the lasers can get annoying, apart from that a solid game with great art!

@Krathya Seems playable to me...

Alright game -- the graphics and sound effects chosen did the job, perhaps it could have done with some music? I liked little touches like the batteries and plugs rotating as you moved them around the screen. The only usability gripe I had was that batteries and plugs could be placed in such a way that the turret wouldn't *actually* charge, maybe you could make them snap?

I liked the graphics a lot they gave a nice feel to the game. I personally found the repetitive laser sound to be somewhat annoying though so I feel the game could have done with somewhat softer laser sound and maybe some background music. Other than that nice game.

I really liked the smooth gameplay, but lack of ample music makes the overall experience a bit monotonous. But the great mechanics make up for it, and its a neat game overall.

Great game. No tutorial needed, the game was easy to figure out. Good use of the topic with the cables and batteries. This format would work great on a mobile device since you only need a drag and drop capable input. I find it very relaxing. It just lacks level and enemy variances, and a graphics upgrade. The many different battery types were too much and reading while the game was running wasn't that compelling. You should flesh it out. Well done.

It's nice to finally let do all the shooting some else and watch your enemies bite dust. Managing power is pretty entertaining and batteries give a lot of new options, in last wave managing shield batteries is key to the victory. With that being said, difficulty could be a little cranked up most waves are pretty easy to beat. This game, for some reason, reminds me of Starship Troopers, probably because you are constantly attacked by overwhelming forces. Pretty decent game in general.

Great entry, very interesting mechanics you got there.

Good graphic and sound.But Like the other people said...Would be nice with music.Also a shortage of batteries makes the game...a bit short and the game goes around luck.If you could increase the chance of spawning the batteries,the game will be longer.Overall nice idea and mechanics.

I was able to get to the end by rotating my mouse in a circle around the sockets. It kept them charging at a pretty steady rate so the shields only broke towards the very end. I'm sure that's not the intended way to play, but having alternate strategies is always cool.

I played the game for a bit and have to say that I quite like it. I think it is a pretty clever take on the theme.

Graphics and sounds are good. Great mechanics. Nice game.

Nice core mechanic, would be nice to see barriers for different firing types, as well as a variety of different enemies that need certain batteries to kill (elemental?). Overall great game! Played for a while :)

david-broz 2017-08-05 20:35

I really like the sound of that idea @almax

Fun game! Really enjoyed the mechanic. Wish there were more/different enemies and I was able to buy upgrades for my generator, lasers, and walls.

you got a solid set of bones in this game here. very nice work.

Solid game base. I love the way the plug works! I also liked the art and sounds. You just need to implement a little bit of more variety and you got a nice defence game! :)
