Very uneven balance. If we do the exact same thing as the computer, they will at level 14 have green bugs out where we might have one yellow variety, not to mention their obvious spamming of everything suggest they get resources faster than we do.

Maybe the author can change the screen where you lose the match, you get BSOD instead of "You have been defeated message"? It makes it more real or something??? =)

the keys to this game are "shift + click" to put down multiple defenses, and Hot Keys 1 - 7.
also don't research all of the viruses. only the bat, bubble, spammer, space ship. alternate the three types, but when you can make the ship you've won. save resources to get 7 ships and enough to follow with spammers. launch viruses by running your finger from 7 --> 1 no typing or clicking.
defend with the area effect towers on rows 2/4/6 and then backup with general cannons and resistors to slow them down. $$ first then processing.

2 tips: to beat level 7, i used a row of resistors, a row of bombs, another row of resistors, then another line of bombs. DON'T repair the front row, the idea is to make the enemies get bunched up so the bombs hit more of them at once! you also should have the "base income" upgrade. for the last 2 levels, you should get the "disable antivirus" ability-it lets you temporarily shut down a row of the enemy's defenses! very handy for punching through!

@ageofgames please add a Multiplayer mode...it is so much fun
also a pause button would be nice, somtimes slow is to fast, if he has a mass of fast worms
[thumbs up, so he can see it]

I'm giving up and walking away from this game. I cannot get past the level that limits you to certain items - I spend my entire game hitting the fix all turrets button. How about an auto fix toggle?

Today I can't upgrade defenses. Menu won't open. Instead I see a $ symbol tooltip. Yesterday upgrade menu opened just fine...

had to put last boss on slow. Just keep spamming "Moneymaker" tower and artillery silo. 3rd upgrade of silo is too powerful imo; AI can't get anything through a column of 3rd artillery silos. Early game you might need to have cannons and resistors in front as you make a column of artillery silos. Last boss I had about 4 columns of money maker xD

AI's Flaw:When you send out viruses in a line,he will change almost every tower with the virus- only towers.That means you can send many viruses in one line and while he's busy changing all towers,change the virus you're sending into a worm,then he will change the towers into anti-worms.The viruses in front of the team will protect the worms from getting hit and eat the towers while the worms squirm at the back to get ready to attack. Rate + if this helped!

Oh, for Christ's sake, stop mentioning Plants vs. Zombies. In video games (and not only), there's this thing called a genre. Learn the word. If I compared Call of Duty to Halo, I'm sure quite a couple of people would argue my point, despite them both being FPSs. Well, Plants vs. Zombies and this game are both Strategy or Tower Defence or whatever you want to call them games. That's more or less where the similarities end.

Some of the upgrades are different to what they say:
The CPU upgrades -> first CPU says 15, then upgrade adds a +45 (doesnt replace the 15 just 45 on top of those 15)
And then the third upgrade says 90 but it gives 140.
The money says: Add 3 then 6 then 10... but unlike CPU doesnt add it on top of the previous upgrade so it replaces... and for the ammount it costs rather buildmore cash towers than upgrade it

The lvl 1 Firewall will stop an infinite number of Bats. It's a good tactic to stave off the early Bat rush on mission 14.

Dear games
Pleas stop having "reset values" buttons on your level up screens if they won't work after the level is over. Or at least explain it better.
Sincerely, Tricked

for lvl 13 (and most other levels up to 15) As soon as the game starts research small visures (Q), place a few banks, and start spammimg q on each lane, when the enemy builds a turret on one lane, forget about this one and continue spamming viruses on other lanes until you run out of mind/energy, then build some defences (row of resistors with 3 AoE towers behind them can hold the waves off for quite long). 2-3 lanes of early viruses have probably broken through the enemy defences and disabled the LEDs, so now you can play as usual for a while while gathering mind energy, then spam 2 kinds of malware on the broken lanes

Finished!
It became quite easy when you figured out a few tricks...
Few things:
- Toroid needs to be fixed so that It can't be used as firewall(it's too easy to defend with it). It should only attack the malware that is passing through the field below/under not the ones that attack defences at that coordinates.
- Computer is really dumb vs Pgp coder; I can destroy him easily with it.
It would be nice if computer also obeyed the rules.. but I guess it would be hard to code a proper AI for a game like this.

Would be a great game if I could upgrade stuff.
Clicking the upgrade arrow doesnt work, and neither does the space + click.
And I have over 4000 gold. There is no way a 150g transistor can cost THAT much to upgrade....

how to win at game:
1.) build money, and upgrade it
2.) build data, and upgrade it
3.) while this is going on, build firewalls and cannons to stop enemy harrass
4.) build good defense
5.) research everything
6.) trojan->virus->worm
7.) rinse, wash, repeat step 6 until you win

Awesome game. Great variety of weapons and strategies, and he added shortcuts when people asked (if you don't know how to use them, go to the hack pedia on the main menu).
