The idea is okay, but I find it really difficult avoid ending with a minus score. Else a simple and fun little gameplay idea.

Played it for a while, but how do you win?
I don't really understand how the score is calculated, I always end up in the negative. Otherwise, it kinda feels like a reverse Space Invaders, and I like it.
I like the idea, pretty cool. I did not understand the score system but I assume that when you fire and your projectiles does not hit the skyscrapers it gives you a negative score? I think the game is cool for what it is, as it is very very simple. If the game's score system had been a little different I would have played the game for a while trying to do better each time. Nice work!
I enjoyed this one. I also ended the game with a negative score, but I did like the sound and graphics. A WebGL build would help with people playing this.
Good game enjoyed very much only got up to 4885 though big sad
Nice original concept, although I did get confused why my score was minus until I read the info.
First go I just rained down hellfire then wondered why my score was -178! Then I realised I shouldn't be bombing the ground. Maybe a different noise for hitting the ground?
I got a veeeeeeery negative score at first. But, on my second play through I had it figured out. It's pretty fun once you know the strategy!
The ding sounds are very pleasing. It could really use some simple background music. I like the pixel art! Nice game overall!
Graphics and sound are a very good match to the cute pixel art you got here :) I tried to survive as much time as I could and ended with -1000 score but I regret nothing
Nice, short game. I like that you can wrap around edges. It is quite a hard game :) The sound effect are a bit repetitive. I think, adding more variants to the shooting sound would be a good idea. I got 173 as my best. Good job with the game!
Agreed with what the other commenters have said - the scoring was confusing at first and a visual or audible cue to let you know when you've messed up and bombed the ground would make a huge difference. I like the concept! Like a reverse Missile Command mixed with Space Invaders
I really like the sonorous sound effects - I think they give the game a lot of charm
A solid game overall, nothing ground breaking but still fairly unique. The negative points felt a bit harsh though and you shouldn't be allowed to go under 0 realistically.
Great game! Didn't realise at first that bombing the ground = -10 score! Loved the age old space-invader styled gameplay :)
I love how the music plays when you hit each of the different towers, and it's nice that you have to actually hit towers or each you lose a lot of points. My first go I ended up with -100 or -200 because I was just spamming all the time XD Finally ended up with about 450 points before I lost.
Nice game! I loved the unique take on a Space Invaders-like game. I also really liked the firing sound effect - really different from the usual shooting sound, and fitting the idea of the game. It would've been nice if I could hold the left/right arrows to move faster, but otherwise, good entry!
