Was having fun, even without getting to keep my upgrades (which is annoying), but then the game stuck coming out of the upgrade menu and I couldn't use any of my guns - just watch while all the vehicles slowly killed me.

I love how the cars gets stronger, and you just keep getting weaker.... something just doesnt feel right there.. hmm just finished the last mission... while writing this... Id given up, but apparently I succeeded?

As soon as you get these weapons, you got a whole 2 levels to use them. This game would be SO much better if you started with everything, and just skip the tutorial, it's not that hard to figure out.

There's a nasty bug I've hit twice in early play where the game can lock you out of control. The only thing that works is the upgrade trigger but that blinks off instantly. Not figured out trigger for the bug yet but it's a loss if it hits.

@smrk007 Nah if you play "hard mode" on final level, it actually takes some quick clicking+upgrade planning, and all enemies have about 3xhp. Also for survival you do get upgrades after first 5 levels and again survival is really hard to get past level 10+

Without persistent upgrades, there isn't any incentive for replaying older levels. Each time you start a level it seems as though you just started a new game, and have to earn all the upgrades yet again. It's a good game, but can be improved on. 4/5.

WHAT THE CRAP! ALL YOU HAVE TO DO TO BEAT THE LAST LEVEL IS MAX THE BASIC GUN FOR ARMOR PENETRATION AND THEN DAMAGE! THEN YOU CAN 1 SHOT KILL EVERYTHING! WAY TOO EASY! AND THEN FOR SURVIVAL YOU CANT GET ANY UPGRADES! WHICH REALLY SUCKS!
But, other than that, good game!

Isn't a bad game. But looks like a tutorial: all upgrade points are decided by the dev, we dont know when they will appear; we cant buy the upgrades we want when we want; the missiles appear perfectly positioned to save us. It is weird.
The game would be better if the gamer had more freedom and if it was really challenging. 3/5

upgrade vs buff hmm upgrade preferred. kinda grindy compared to other TD type games had a hard time deciding between scoring as 2 or 3 but ended up deciding 2

The last survival mission would actually be fun if you could get some upgrade power for each wave, instead of fighting the upgraded enemy waves with the craptastic basic weapons. Apparently your friendly forces are nearby, but they can't be bothered to do anything to help.

4/5 Fun game, but needed another couple weeks development time. Typos are rampant, and the game would've been much more fun with persistent upgrades, provided it was well balanced. Resetting upgrades seemed like a counter to how quickly weapons could be upgraded. Also, the tiny armor piercing cloud is useless when guns do it better, permanently.

The energy system is so wonky... Upgrade points seem to be given completely randomly, making careful planning impossible. Not to mention upgrades aren't even permanent...

Just thought that with all those high tech space ships and inter planetary warfare they wouldn't use trucks and missiles any more..or big exploding gasoline barrels

their should be a reactor upgrade section, that is permanent. like at the start you get 150 energy but then you can get an extra 350.

This is so close to being a great game. I think what I find even more annoying than the lack of persistent upgrades is the fact that this turns into a puzzle game by the end, we are forced to figure the correct weapon and upgrade path the creator designed for each level rather than having the freedom to develop our own strategies. Also, why would mines only be able to be dropped in one area?

"Note about persistent upgrades:
It is more like tower defense style – you have to build and upgrade from scratch from the beginning of every mission. So you can replay any mission to try another upgrade strategy and reach more rating/score. If you will return to replay mission 2 after upgraded for mission 5, you will destroy all in a second."
A lot of people aren't reading this. As for what I have to say to this, you should start with the total raw energy you have racked up in the game WHEN YOU GOT TO THAT LEVEL.

I Have to rate this a 3; Cuz I want my updates to stay :'(. It maybe would be better to increase troup's HP, and get more upgrades

Good game...but it's all about the upgrades. They just need to be redone, with the exception of what the upgrades ARE; however, the systematic approach of assigning upgrade points (when they are assigned) and the fact that the upgrades reset every level is very disappointing.

Just a note to dev, although in tower defense games you generally need to upgrade your towers from scratch every round, you are also generally provided with a set of persistent upgrades that can either be achieved or purchased. Not necessarily criticizing, just saying you could possibly incorporate persistent upgrades without ruining your tower defense feel...

good game. in the early levels it is introducing the new weapons. i do agree that it works better to dump it all into cannon upgrades, but minefields help out a lot if placed right. dont bother with slow, armor perice goes into cannon/minefields, damage up on cannon and mines.
upgrades could use work but still good game. and remember- stratgy and skill over brute force.

The upgrade system is horribly implemented. It's simply not fun to receive upgrades at arbitrary times and only to be able to upgrade what you want us to upgrade.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Would be great except for a few (but probably fixable) points.
First, as others have already pointed out, no permanent upgrades! This is horrible.
Second, there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to how upgrade points are awarded. Sometimes you get them after a wave, sometimes you don't.
Third, the structure of the upgrade system is kind of crappy. Some upgrades are worthless (e.g., armor reduction) and some can't be purchased until after you really need them.
Finally, the underground sections where vehicles can hide are kind of annoying (i.e., not fun).
As a small suggestion, how about a hotkey toggle autofire for the cannon?

wow i hate this, why would u make me go 5 rounds in survival without any upgrades... by the time i get to round 5 ive lost 75% of my lives because of those pebbles im throwing at an armored tank! -.-

One thing, make the upgrades permanent and the vehicles tougher... it's annoying to start upgrading from scratch on each new mission... everything else, great.
