Fun concept! I never thought about tower defence from the attacker's POV. One major drawback was the control scheme that disallows strafing - some enemy towers would be easy, some felt impossible. The concept of upgrading seems very interesting. However, in practicality it is hard to see the effects besides number of creeps. Also, giving the choice of upgrade in the beginning is a little odd, since at that point of the game I do not know what any of these choices mean in reality (eg. how important is health vs damage?). Sorry if I sound negative, these are just my thoughts on how to improve the concept I found fun enough to comment on :)
The moving and shooting part seems very fluid. Audio is also fine. Didn't really get to the other parts. The tutorial is VERY long winded, and feels impossible to memorize before getting to the actual game. Shame, the game could have been fun, if it was taught in a more thought out way during the start of gameplay.
This was a pretty fun experience. I wish I could have had a bit more instruction or cues of what to do and how. It was a little confusing in the beginning. Being able to "complete" levels and continue to the next without actually doing anything in the current level seemed a bit odd.
