Description
A throwback to the glory days of old-school Starcraft style tower defense! You control which towers you unlock! Defend against hundreds of enemies coming in massive waves!
# 20 unique towers
# 20 types of alien enemies
# 16 challenging levels
# 3 "infinite" modes to unlock
_This was a quick game I made to teach myself some new programming techniques for the next LOTV (which I've been working on for months already!). I hope you enjoy it!_
How to Play
Money: Gained from killing enemies
Research: Gained over time
-Use the mouse to select towers and place them wherever you want on the map.
-Press the "CANCEL TOWER" button in the bottom right to reset the mouse and be able to select individual towers to upgrade.
Developer Updates
1. Economy tower now works with only 1 placed.
2. Tutorials updated to explain that upgrades are temporary.

It'd be nice if the stars you get from completing missions actually had some sort of relevance. Some permanant passive upgrade system or something would be good.

To the developer: I believe that misunderstanding problem with "upgrades" can be easily solved by renaming "upgrades" too "boosts".

Thanks I'll do this!

Not sure if it's a bug, but I noticed myself occasionally able to spend myself into negative money using the "upgrade max" button.

Developer - you need to clear this up. PASSIVE RESEARCH UPGRADES (page 3) last for 1 level only. They are not permanent. The only Permanent upgrade is when a tower is unlocked, it is unlocked for the rest of the game. Now, my opinion is that this makes the passive upgrades more than useless. I wasted a ton of research points on them early on. You need to make this clearer in game because the unlock is the same as the permanent tower unlocks. Tons of TD games have permanent passive upgrades. This allows (1) the enemies to get progressively more difficult and (2) allows the initial (weaker) towers to stay more relevant during the game
As I've said numerous times. ALL UPGRADES ARE TEMPORARY. If they are too expensive for you early on then don't buy them :) Later in the game when you have tons of research and no new towers to unlock they are extremely cheap.

Seems promising so far, but the fact that some upgrades go away between levels and the player has no warning of this gets you an eyebrow raise - unless it's just a glitch.
If by "upgrades" you mean researching the Research/Economy towers, this was a bug and is fixed in the latest update.
