You can pause the game, you press ESC key whilst playing. It says so in the instructions in the game and also in the instructions below the game. This game is meant only as a prototype containing the core aspect of missile command, other elements such as increase in number of missiles, split missile, specific targeting of your facilities, bombers, waves and increasing speed will come in the next iteration.
@coolsoandrew: No, I've created about half a dozen other games, I was coming back to do up some of my original ones. None of them I'd call "finished", they're all beta versions of what I hope the final game to be. I put out versions now and again to se how they do, what comments they get before I take that and go back and improve it.
THat sometimes happens with me, the not refreshing scores immediately. Sometimes it can take a while for Kongregate to update itself, sometimes you have to force it by refreshing the page. Nothing I can do about that :P That's Kongregate's stuff I have no control over.
Just been modifying the game, reduced health so should get easier and increasing the value of payout sooner which hopefully should make it easier to play.
Yes, tested it, made the commet it's hard in places. It's easier if you build two towers and upgrade their damage a couple of times than building four towers initially. You'll fair a lot better.
It's a very basic game, I know. It was more to prove to myself that I could write a tower defense game of some sort than to be an outstanding game but there's enough there for it to at least be playable albiet hard in places.
