The refund for selling a tower doesn't go down as it is damaged. I don't know if this is intentional or not. This leads to it being better to sell and rebuild a tower than repairing it after a certain amount of damage. Even more so when you upgrade the refund you get in research.

The game gets SO much harder at the 10th mission. I did all the others, 3 stars, no problem but there comes mission 10 and the first wave destroys my towers no matter how and what I place

Really awesome. I like how even though it was a tower defense I had a sense of choice and a need to pay attention to what was going on.
Hurray that there were no flying units (those suck so much) and that instead for different enemies we get the high health units which is awesome as it is easy to understand and not mess up your build order.

good graphics, good ai, and good music. people don't realise how much work goes into creating a game like this, get too caught up in finicky details. 5/5, looking forward to updates and more games from you :)

I think the repair function shouldn't require a set amount. I feel that it hinders the player when they need a crucial machine repaired, but are ten resources short, and it costs them the entire machine. It should just allow the player to put whatever resources they do have into repairing it. Repair cost should be less than or equal the player's available resources. Other than that, good game.

I see that people don't like having to hold down the speed up button. I like that feature because it prevents the game from getting away from me. I'm sure i can't be the only person to have that happen to them.

Another issue was the upgrades, as others have mentioned. I'm sort of assuming, due to the conspicuous lack of any damage upgrade, that you were going for an 'indirect' approach, but I guess I don't understand why. The ones that are there are still enough to make a significant difference in whether one won or lost, so why not just go all the way and have normal, obvious upgrades like damage, shot speed, tower cost, etc? It's silly to just go half-way with something like that. Another issue I agree on is the speed button. It toggle, or we should have an option as to whether or not to be able to do so, or at the very, very least there should be a hotkey we can hold down. It would be nice if tower upgrading had a little more depth to it too and we had a wider range of support options, namely a much lighter option that we could use to gun down single enemies that slip through. My main issue was the lack of freedom I outlined in my last comment though. That's what mainly bothered me.

suggestions: 1. add power upgrades! explanation: lvl 1 cost: 20 XP increases damage by 5 level 2: cost: 30 increases damage by 10 up to lvl 5 and so on and so forth

Ok, I like the game and the difficulty feels right, but imo it's got some issues. First off, you have very little freedom. Every level feels like you have to do it the way the developer wants. It's bad enough with limited spaces to put towers, even more so with energy makers since they require special spaces, but on top of it rather than giving options as to what a gun targets first, it just targets the unit it specializes in. So for example there may be a big scorpion guy with re just barely in range. That sort of works out for medium guns and up, but with smalls that means a single larger enemy can totally screw you up if it slips through with even a sliver of health. That only further kills any illusion one may have of actually being able to develop a personal strategy. Continued in next comment...

Had to comment. Thank you for STARTING your game with the mute option. You're my hero. You are a brilliant light in a dark, dark world. Thank you.

1 free internets for having a volume button BEFORE the preloader. Thank you, from everyone who does more than one thing at a time.

i kinda sucks that i have money but cant spend it, at a point all i do is hold the FF button. seems like this game doesnt have the depth i would expect from a game like this. sorry, this could be an epic game... did u just stop because u were bored with it. i would like more upgrades, places to put my turrets, ect.... not your best... or what i expect from u.

4/5 good game but upgrades barely do anything and dislike having to hold the 2x speed button. if u make sequel, remember this and add other stuff to the game.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
It is a good game. a 4 out of 5. Perhaps previously mention:
1. the 2x button should be press rather hold. 4x would be nice too
2. Upgrade effects should be stated. Such as how many pixels.
3. Able to set what to atk. heavy gun for armor, rather than just spray.
4. Time is seconds for recharging stated would be nice too.

Its ok, but there's a lot of issues I have with it. 1: The upgrades need to be boosted. For costing more than the turrent themselves, they barely do anything to the power and rate of fire. They should also increase range. 2: Airstrikes are practically useless, they're weaker than most ground based units, their only advantage is the splash damage which brings me to 3: Explosive ground units (the rockets) need to do splash damage. Especially since half the time they aim at the same target. 4: After unlocking something, LET US USE IN IT PAST LEVELS. For god's sake, we can't even upgrade our turrents in a level before that particular upgrade gets unlocked. I'll give it a 3/5 because it is fun to play, but it needs some patching to make it worthy of anything better.

@ToffeeGames: Turret target tracking is in serious need of a hotfix. If turrets in one lane first see enemies in another lane that are barely outside their range, they will 'look' at the enemies in that lane and completely ignore enemies in their own lane, even if said enemies are closer to the turret. To test this, go to level 3 with turret range upgrade 2+, and put a couple of miniguns on the right. You will see at least one of them completely ignore its own lane from wave 3 onward.

Please disregard my last comment. It was, in fact, an issue on my end. The game appears to be good so far, but I'll withhold any further comment until I get further.

I'm having trouble getting the game to work. Right after selecting whether to mute or not, it starts going to the doppler game intro thing, then freezes. If I scroll up and down a few times it will advance until 'doppler games is in the middle, then that's it. My flash plugin has been a little screwy recently and no one else is saying anything, so I'll keep trying. I just figured I'd mention it just in case.

just wishing there were more upgrade options. such as increase rate if fire, damage, maybe a perk for gaining $$ faster. loved the art style though. good game concept as well as story.
just thought it was lacking some overall upgrades.
4/5

I like to see upgrades and such have a cosmetic impact. It's not something I want forced into every game, but it should be commended when it happens. -- Aside from the major two points everyone has stated, with regards to the time manipulation and the lack of choice in upgrading. It would be nice to have the enemies path shapable. If my line from cliff to cliff can fit a total of 5 turrets, and I place only 3 or 4 down they should take that advantage. Only attacking turrets if they completely block their progress.

Deserves a solid 4. I really liked it but its missing that small thing that makes you say 'wow' .
If there were more upgrades and weapons it would be a 5/5 game. Looking forward to the sequel with these small tidbits corrected. :)

Weapons:
-Increase Damage
-Increase Rate of Fire
-Increase Armor Penetration (For Tougher Bugs)
Passive Upgrades:
-Increase Starting Energy
-Increase Energy Earning

There's really not much to this game. Yea, the upgrade EXP system is there, but realistically it's quite standard, nothing special. needs a x4 and shouldn't have to hold it down, it runs really slow. There's just nothing special about this game. Generic, put it with the rest of em
