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.

This is a good game, a little slow paced, but not too bad in that regard. I agree with Shado that there should be table with what upgrades do and what changes. Also I think that being able to see what level a turret or a buffer is at by clicking on it would help a lot. Sometimes I miss the level indicator as it floats up and dissapears rather quickly. If at all possible, an auto-firing turret would be a welcome addition. Otherwise a solid game with a lot of effort put in that shows in how nice the game looks and plays.

This is a pretty fun game! I like the catapult feel of the torrents, instead of the autofire deal in most games like this. Nice graphics, music, sound, etc. All is awesome except one thing.. There should be some sort of upgrade menu between levels. I know that the actual torrents level up over time, but after 4 levels there really isn't that much of a difference. It'd be better to just have an upgrade menu, like I said.
Then again.. meh, I'm in no place to give advice like that. Fun game. 4/5 and fav'd.

The concept is fine. The tutorial is fine. Your health is fine. The game needs improvements by way of helicopters (hit you before you can hit them), sound effects (get them), aiming (at least give a trajectory; it's very difficult), and other things I don't feel like elaborating on because Kongregate lost my extensive critiquing comment just now.

Wow, I came expecting a tower defense clone, but this is a much nicer looking game! I found that I only use one gun to actually shoot with, and I never waste much money to buy anything else, but its nice to have a heavy cannon in the middle, then all the steam punks shoot at it, and I can pick 'em off with the machine gun.
To tell you the truth I might've liked a tower defense game though.
3/5

I thought this game was pretty lame and then saw where you could buy upgrades and really lost respect, I can't imagine what upgrades would make such a basic game worth paying for - 2/5

Really enjoying this, love the idea of buffers in place of cannons to boost stats. I found myself just sticking a machine gun in the lower left and sticking to that without switching weapons though -- but I'm looking forward to trying out the lightning gun when I've earned enough. Interesting that there's not a ton of sound effects for gunfire and explosions, but I didn't mind their absence. Need some badges for this game!

pdbogen: Experience increases damage, gun health, shortens reload times, and also increases the number of pieces a shell explodes into or the number of times lightning jumps from enemy to enemy. Upgrading weapons manually based on experience is a suggestion I'm getting a lot, I'll definitely be looking into it!

Alrighty, one big post!
LobsterMobster: The other turrets aren't really meant to be your main weapons, hence the faster reload times. In the later levels, you get 5 total gun slots. So if you want to double your fire rate, just double the number of that weapon.
As far as having more content, I totally agree, and in the cliche words of Jerry Maquire: "help me, help you!" If I could I would make 50 guns for the game, but being that I do this for a living, my desire to eat forces me to meet deadlines and budgets. Essentially, my ability to give more content is directly linked to how much support the game gets. If you want more content for a game, support it! If you want more games from Hero Interactive, support me! I rely on yours and other people's support, which is why I wanted to reward that support with the extra content.

I like the steampunk feel, and the graphics are very nice. However, as an earlier poster wrote, there's not much variety in the weapons. The experience and levels aren't well reflected- what does experience do? Fire rate? reload rate? Damage? Maybe give points so that you can upgrade your weapons using experience..

Nice game actually 5/5
Exp adds more damage, but how do I know what exp I currently have and how much is needed for next level?

I don't mean to be nasty, but the fact that you're asking money for "more" when the game is so sparse (only five kinds of gun, little variation in enemies, no variation in levels) comes off as cheap. I wonder, how many people have paid up?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
It's got some nice new ideas but all of the turrets except for the cannon and the machine gun recharge so slowly as to be nearly useless as main weapons, and there isn't much variation between the weapons. As a result, it's virtually impossible to fend off more than a few of the black armored enemies at a time without taking damage. Also, the gun to the lower left becomes the most important one since it has the widest spread, while whichever gun is farthest to the right is overwhelmingly targeted by the enemy, making it possible to place a cannon there to effectively protect more valuable weapons from being targeted.

Interesting game. I only gave it a 3 because I think there are a lot of improvements that can be made: Levels are just too long - shorter levels with higher frequency of enemies, give a choice of what to improve when the gun levels up - reload time, damage, double fire etc, more variety of enemies. By level 6 there are only 4 different enemies, what with the length of the levels it gets monotonous and you figure out each enemy's weakness easily. It becomes a turkey shoot with the right gun for the right enemy. This can be improved so much to make it a good game, at the moment it's just mediocre.

Ofc its not the idea of the game but I wish the other towers would fire too.
Slow ofc since your the controller and thats the idea of the game but just something I like, could make the game a little harder then aswell ofc.
4/5 for now.

That may have been my fault. While people were playing I made an update to the game that allows turrets to aim lower than before. Because Kongregate renamed the game file, the saves didn't work. From here on out it should be fine. Sorry about that.

It is pointless to allow the gun to have all three guns have blind spots below it. Every gun should suck equally?
It doesn't auto save all the time? I played to the 5th level, paused the game and accidentally went to "play more games" came back and I had no saves.

What's worse, there's no way to save (but a way to load), A "load of upgrades" but no way to see what level you are or how close you are to the next level, and you want money to download new content, but the content in the game right now doesn't feel all there. Sorry man, but "bigger" and "better" arn't the same thing.

I've heard a lot about how big and great this game is. Sadly I see nothing here to warrant such a big fanfare. it's a good game, but nothing that great. Especially when you consider that there's control issues (seriously, why can't I aim down even with a machine gun turrent. It feels too static that it hurt the game)

For some reason it lags abit. Other than that, its really good presentation. Though I can do quite alot with just a standard cannon. Not much use for everything else.
