nice just because of xmas, BUT:
1) this is just re-skinning of your older game, no new ideas, just new graphics
2) player cannot do anything during the fall, so it's useless and cannot be skipped
i resisted 46:38 minutes in survival mode - that's total time 106:38 (a valiant stand! score :), emmiters were around 410... i built 1/5 of the map with Storage, 1/5 Speed, 1/5 Reactor, 1/5 Blaster, 1/5 Mortar, plus 10 Drones (2 for each emitter)... worked very good, first 20 minutes were really boring, after 30 minutes blasters were out of ammo and after 50 minutes my first 5 lines of defense were gone... after that it was only a matter of time... the problem was ammo and i kept replacing the towers with fresh ones, but the creeper was quite deep in that time
this game plays and feels much worse than the original Canyon Defense :( it's too unimaginative and sometimes just plain boring... instead of letting me choose how to play, this game is designed to play only how its author wanted me to play it >:( i expected A LOT MORE! please don't release unifinished sequels, make it so you could be proud of it!
Very good! but a short game. I'd like to play more levels against variable opponents (who have favorite spells/tactics), I'd like to have more skills etc.
