LobsterMobster: Yeah, I kind of agree. If you look at the "learn more" page it's much more marketed as a donation. I'm torn, because I do think the extra content is cool and you're getting more than just a donation. But I agree that making sure people know it's more than just getting the content, it's about helping me to make better games in the future, is important.

You have the making of one heck of a game.
I agree with XP assigned at the end of the round to the turrets you want, if you sell them or they get destroyed, oh well
flak cannon does need a lot of work
maybe slectable increases as mentioned earlier faster fire more damage etc...
More weapons... im greedy i know
Maybe an interest bank thing for players who decide to save?
Purchase an "Ultimate Weapon," like slow all enemies for a short time, destroy all enemies etc and have the reload time be really long OR a one time use weapon that you have hotkeyed.

Asgard: You can repair fully destroyed guns just so you know. You don't need to repair them. Also, thanks for the constructive feedback. Based on all the good comments I'm getting, I'm considering releasing a v.1.5 in a few weeks with a shitload of changes.

Hero, I read your post in response to mine and I think the problem might be one of marketing. Instead of saying, "hey, you can buy more content!" you might say, "hey, if you donate $5, you get the special edition!" That way people think of it more as supporting you rather than (to put it very negatively) paying for "the rest" of the game.

p. The lack of purchasable upgrades is the most galling problem, IMHO.
p. If you lose a cannon on a mid to late level the replacement doesn't have the XP built up that the lost one had.
p. This makes it much more difficult to progress and there is a risk of being stymied from moving further into the game.

* Maybe it's just me, but the damage buff didn't seem to actually do anything.
* The regular cannon and the flak cannon are just about worthless.
* There should be upgrades available for purchase: rate increase, damage increase, life increase, auto targetting, etc. Then get rid of XP altogether, let XP upgrade something you can't buy, like special secondary effects, or have XP upgrade every stat (as opposed to buying an upgrade affecting a single stat).
I love the flavor and want to love the game but it just feels like a polished proof of concept at this point. I look forward to version 2.

Lots of criticisms:
* My guns should indicate their level and progress towards their next level.
* There should also be something on screen showing my score: enemies killed, total xp gained, or money.
* There should be something indicating how long to the end of the level. There should be level end bosses.
* The little bugs that don't shoot are just dumb. Yeah, they get in the way sometimes. They are mostly just really annoying and not fun.

I like the steampunk setting and I like the quality of the animation, but, boy, did I start getting bored. After lengthy level after lengthy level of the same weapons I got pretty tired. When I finally splurged on a damage buff that hardly affected things at all, I quit.

Needs a speed increase the progression is way too slow and besides a machine gun and sniper guns theres no reason for the rest of them. The basic gun is a pain and isn't worth the trouble even when you do get it down. This game could be alot better than it is.

cjfjcjfjc: Just because the game doesn't work for you doesn't mean it's a bad game. How can you rate it 1/5 when you haven't played it?

Feels a bit boring and don't like the guns that much.
Mostly best of playing with 1 gun.
Switching rating from 4/5 to 3/5.
Good 3/5 game, bad 4/5 game.

yea looks good and everything, but its boring. theres not enough choice of guns of area to place things, its a good idea but you need to expand it a hell of alot. 5/5 for looks, 5/5 for idea, but 1/5 for actuall gameplay and game depth

this doesn't work the info panel says this:
name:undefined
difficulty:undefined
level:0
money:0
fix right now, or an instant 1/5

Little slow, but good "Looking" game. Not sure why anyone would purchase the basic gun when the machine gun is so much better. Not enough options, upgrades, etc to make this game more than a one shot time sink.

Would of rated it 3, but 2 seemed better. List of problems I encountered:
the keys had a long response time
some of the bullets went thru the enemy
the sniper shot completely the wrong thing
or it would miss for no reason
its gey when your shooting and your accidently click another turret and fire a shot that takes a hour to reload
weird glitch in the pause menu
graphics are ok i guess
gets less and less fun with every level
2/5

What works about this game is the art and the concept. The execution needs an overhaul. The machine gun is simply over powered in the lower levels, and possibly all the way through the game. I'm not willing to pay for content for a game like this, it just doesn't have enough depth. There's a lot that can be done here, but I wouldn't consider this a final product.

graphicaly, it's a superb game, but it's true that it's slow. The different turret are great, but we don't know the difference between each damage and rate of them. And what do a level up? I think it grew the speed rate, but is it all?
need to put info of our turrets

Great concept, but a bit slow. Like others said, need a way to tell what level/exp each tower is. But i also kept telling myself just one more level....15 or 16 times...a bit addictive and great potential.

Levels are much too long. Powerup doesn't add a perceivable advantage. Would be nice, as others have said, to see how much experience you're earning. Most of the weapons are crap...too difficult, too slow, etc. The machine gun has a HUGE advantage due simply for the ROF. Fun to play but needs work.

For anyone suffering from lag, you might consider playing the game in IE, I've found a 20 fps difference. Also, adjusting the graphics settings can help a bit.

Draco, you beat it on EASY. Then you complain that it's too easy? Seriously, I don't get it. Go play hard or something then.

I have 85,000 just from playing the game. I have no reason to spend money. WTF.
Ok, that was...pitiful. My Sniper (in the "everything shoots at it first" position) was at about....40% health and I forgot to repair going into the boss fight and....it....survived. I wasn't even TRYING. Fire a flack up top, fire a machine gun (in pos. #4) and the sniper underneath, hit it with Lightning when it first showed up....it died and keeled over and I did basically nothing and didn't even lose a turret.

its slow paced, and can get very annoying when the enemies fly behind your gun, or too far over to hit. but still a decent game, this game should show what level and EXP of all the turrets, as another bar maybe?
4/5

I was quite disappointed with this game - primarily because it sounded like it was going to be a lot of fun, and obviously had high production values. Ultimately though, the game is slow, it needs to give information about experience gains, and it would be nice to see how much you have left to go in a level. Sadly, the game ends up feeling more like work than play, and that's one of the most damning things I can say about a game. 3/5, but primarily for production values, not for gameplay.

I like it but it needs alot of different turrent. Going from 8000 to 40000 is rediculous. I wanted to try the lightning turret but I got bored before I ever got enough cash.
