"To anyone wondering: yes, the Shock tower gains damage from ANY guard tower in its vicinity, both basic and upgraded.Couple it with a couple Fire rate and range upgrades and you have the magical equivalent of a minigun that shoots explosive sharks." Best. Comment. Ever.
Everything you do and say while your (")free(dom" is in our hands) will be monitored. (You will probably be arrested for your actions. But really, you have the right to act. Go ahead.)
I would like to redefine the colors for everyone.
Red: Spammed organism. Much faster than you. Resets you to level 1 on contact.
Orange: Less common than red. Don't touch it unless you have to. Lowers overall mass.
Yellow: Less common than orange. Avoid attacks. Eat organism - mass goes up. Slow, always near the wall (where red is spammed and likely to fly at you).
Plain (no more glow): Rare. Very slow, will not be in middle. No damage, low mass return. This organism will spawn slowly at the sides and will be your only means of making the next organism change from red to orange to yellow (while the behemoths above it that take up more screen space and move faster get ready to eat you). Good luck.
P.S. I love this kind of game and wish there were more of it's kind. This one could be great with - more balanced speed and spawn rate and (as I recall seeing once or twice in the comments below) some form of checkpoint or level save feature.
The weather is bipolar, and prefers being really cold while I can't afford coffee. Not to mention that 3 days went like this; Day 1: 17 degrees and snowing, Day 2: 100 degrees and sunny, Day 3: 22 degrees and snowing..
