I've completed all 25 levels, and have to say it is mediocre at best. Not only do you need workarounds if you don't have desktop computer, printer, webcam, and administer access to change system settings, but at least two of the puzzles force the user to reload the page, sometimes multiple times, artificially inflating the authors advertising income. 1 of 5
Fun for a TD gender, and the 'combo' tower modifications make it interesting - but man does it take forever to play - a good hour or so for each level!
Never said the Codex wasn't hard, just got fed up with the 5 pages of kids posting 'It's too hard, 0/5' within the first 24 hours of him uploading the game.
If you really like puzzle games it can be a blast once you learn the parts and commands. The 'Help' button will bring up a few screens on placing glyphs and programing the manipulators, and if you click on a glyph it will describe how it works at the bottom of the screen.
Good Luck!
For those of you wondering why the rest of us enjoy this so much, open Level 1, click 'Load' and paste this into the box (I did not create this solution). Then click Run and enoy the show:

The 'Tutorial Level' is the first game - this one is for nutcases (like me) that enjoy puzzle games.
If you're posting here that 'You Don't Understand' or 'I don't get it', than the problem is not the game, the problem is your inability to read english
How about a tournament play, only 3 towers per team but it's best out of 3 rounds? I've been stuck repeatedly in 3 on 3 games where when the first tower goes, the rest of my team all quit.
As for improvements, I'd like to see better pathfinding - I'm always getting hung-up on teammates when trying to get out of the spawn.
It would also be nice if a computer AI would assume control of dropped players - even if it just ran their tanks strait forward like the minions. Or if a player drops an extra 3 minions spawned each cycle as a team balancer.
OK, not sure if the issue was the simultaneous compounds in the goal, or the extending arms when already in goal, but here is that solution fixed:
m,1,12,90,1,cllorr;m,1,8,90,1,cllorr;m,3,14,270,1,rcllor;m,1,4,90,1,clorww;m,5,12,0,1,wjcrolww;m,9,12,180,1,wwjwwclor;m,11,14,270,1,wjlcrrol;m,13,12,90,1,wjcrroll;m,13,8,90,1,wjcrroll;m,13,4,90,1,wjcrolww;m,3,2,90,1,clorww;m,11,2,90,1,wjcrolww;
Has a problem with multiple compounds reaching the destination at the same time. Try this on level 1: m,1,12,90,1,cllorr;m,1,8,90,1,cllorr;m,3,14,270,1,rcllor;m,1,4,90,1,clorww;m,3,2,90,1,cluodr;m,5,12,0,1,wjcrolww;m,9,12,180,1,wwjwwclor;m,11,14,270,1,wjlcrrol;m,13,12,90,1,wjcrroll;m,13,8,90,1,wjcrroll;m,13,4,90,1,wjcrolww;m,11,2,90,1,wjcruodl;
Just for a little fun... Lvl 3: Handoff

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery - but why play the clone when the original is available here? If you are going to copy the idea of another game, try to improve on it so others will want to play.
"They said I could use it for my personal use..." Um, this is not personal use. This is you uploading a program you do not have the copyright to on a for-profit advertising site. Now, if you asked the creators if you could upload it to kong under your account and keep the advertising profits, and they said yes, then you would have distribution rights to upload it here.
