so much potential, but there's some bugs that need to be fixed. resource production, and bugginess during attacks makes it impossible to build. Also better explanation of various aspects of the game such as upgrading. 4/5 and 5/5 if an upgrade comes out.

Well, for me the worst thing is no save game. Whenever I have to finish playing, I have to start all over again. It's boring.

Now that i've finally beaten lvl 8. I can't believe it really took me several hours to achieve that goal...Once I did it right it was so easy I felt stupid.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I've beaten level 8 (of version 1.2), instructions:
Day 1: Build a natural gas plant and a lab. Then get a factory, garbage truck and a dump. When you can, upgrade the natural gas plant twice before night because you will get +90 instead of +40, which really helps with the flood lights. Also build a mine, about 10-12 floodlights, and 2-3 gun turrets.
Night 1: Build 4 more garbage trucks to collect the garbage the monsters drop so they don't get too strong.
Day 2: Clean up any damage, then build 2 more farms. When you can, research Ethanol for the trucks. The oil will run out today, so be prepared for the switch. Next build 2 more farms and 4 geothermal plants (upgrade them once today). Finally expand your flood lights to cover the geothermal plant area (total around 15 floodlights and 5 gun turrets by the time night comes... just make sure to stock pile at least 300 energy for the floodlights).

Night 2: Build about 5 more garbage trucks to clean up the increased amount of monster and garbage.
Day 3: The next night will be hell, so upgrade the ethanol consumption for trucks at the factory once, build a few more farms, and fill up the geothermal spot you built on before. Natural gas production will run out, so that will really hurt the flood lights towards the end of the night. Also upgrade geothermal production asap to stockpile more energy for later. Build a few more floodlights and turrets, and about 2 more mines to supply those turrets. Feel free to experiment here because I haven't gotten a "perfect formula" for what to do.

Night 3: Survive... :) The best shot is to just make sure you repair things that need to be repaired.
Day 4: The next day you will receive LOTS of supplies (natural gas and oil, so your upgraded natural gas plant will come in handy again), so do your best to repair what the monsters destroyed and keep stockpiling enough energy for the floodlights at night.
Night 4: Survive :)
Day 5: Congrats, now use those resources to expand a little and it should be easy coasting from here!

Awesome game, the only thing I can think of to add at this point, is API, so we can get badges for this. Ashame that we can't get a badge (or 3) for this great game!

If those are listed in order of priority, I would recommend putting lag closer to the top. I'm on a core 2 duo with 2.4 GHz. I can't imagine what it's like for people running older machines.
To offer a new suggestion, I would like it if the tutorial part of the game were shortened a bit. I feel like it could all be over viewed in one or two levels. Also, add more levels after you work out level 8. The first ones are a bit too easy, make it progressive and longer.
Main point, don't just make level 8 easier, then the whole game will be too easy.
Some games are unique, fun and original, some are well polished. Rarely do they meet. You already have the less common and more meaningful of the two. Your game is unique and original. Give it a little polish and it will easily be one of the best games around.
Sorry for the long comment, hope it helps.

Very fun, but buggy still, in sandbox, once I had very high levels of energy and about 25 garbage trucks using electric, I would show 999 energy, but farms wouldnt produce unless I switched trucks to different source, soon as I did they would recieve energy, the trucks then caused smog quickly, so would have to switch back and forth evey 15 seconds. Other bugs I have already seen mentioned so will skip them.

Hey guys, thanks for all the feedback... good and bad. I'd like to encourage all of you with comments about things for me to fix and update to post them as bug reports so I have a record of them, and so they don't just drown in the sea of comments.
This way I know what to prioritize for my version 1.3 release, which is coming soon! I want to make sure I address all the issues that are most important to people.
So far it seems the issues are :
1) Level 8 is way too hard
2) The "menu deselect" bug
3) The "can't click behind floodlights" bug
4) Do some more work to fix lag
Those are currently my top 4 priorities for now... other stuff is on the list, I just need to do triage and make sure I get the most essential things first. Keep the feedback coming!
I AM listening ! :)

It's a good concept for a game and the sound and music are excellent. It is buggy though. It runs very slow when many mutants attack, even at low quality. The build menu would sometimes revert not letting me build anything. I thought this might be just at night (what the hell are people sleeping for when mutants are attacking?!) but last game I built defenses at night. Picking up selected garbage would be a nice feature. One was stuck on a geothermal vent and it took the trucks forever to pick it up. Level 8 ups the difficulty 10 fold. I would like to see more objectives on a level and use solar and wind power more. This game has a lot of potential. Keep working on it.

Great game!5/5
I like how the game was rather realistic in terms of how life in the future may possibly be.Last level is insanely hard. =P

There might be a secret to sandbox mode, but I'm dipped if I can figure it out. I think the longest I've survived is something like nine nights.
What gives?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
A tip for the last level: build the natural gas first, along with the lab. Then make the geothermal and go developing it (I only fully developed it on the 3rd or so night, though)
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Just needs a difficulty level option... easy mode would space out the attacks, and not overwhelm us so quickly. As is I can only last a couple of days in sandbox. Oh and level 8 seemed impossible :)

great game but i cannot figure out how to upgrade individual buliding to reduce emissions like it shows in the help secteion. can't wait for the flame gun
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
level 7 and 8 are buggy.
you should have a button that skips ahead, so you don't have to wait for zombies.
The food deficiet happens to often. I usually need 8 farms in the later levels x__x it's annoying.
This is a wonderful game, one of my favorites. Please fix the bugs, the game would be even better.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Too many bugs. I can't click on a build to repair while fighting. It goes to the main screen. I can't click on repair fast enough after I click on the structure. There needs to be hot keys. The garbage trucks gets in the way. I can't click on stuff on lvl 8. On fossil fuel, you run out at 1 and garbage truck stops even when you switch fuel types

anyone completed level 8? it seems imposable. i can get past night one but then i got no chance of rebuilding before the next wave
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
great game!! i love gmes like this. its just unbelievably hard. is it just me or is it impossible to get a good base without being destroyed on sandbox mode. if you make a second or a sequal or somthing you need to make it so factories can make tanks to and have barracks and stuff for military. its a great game but like other people are saying it has alot of bugs
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Multiple people have said it but this game is MASSIVELY BUGGY.
Play level 8. I have everything turned off except a nat gas plant and geothermal.. (vechinles on Ethanol) the ONLY trhin on was by base.
EVERYTHING ELSE WAS DISABLED...
I still was only making 5+ energy.. I should have benn at 50+ energy
FIX THESE STUPID BUGS... THE GAME IS UNPLAYABLE
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Decent, but a bit laggy. Missions are way too short for effective upgrading if you don't turtle it in parts where there is no timer.
Mission 8 is all about short term thinking, start with gas and upgrade it 1 or 2 times fast, then go geotermal, everyting else doesn't hold up.
And remember, ethanol for fuel, not because smog is ever a problem, but food is easier to get.
As far as defenses go, mix machineguns and floodlights, so you can avoid building more than 3 mines.
At least that's what i did.

one of the best flash games I've ever played. It is great, it is surprising how these tiny games are evolving. As many people have said, it could use a few tweaks here and there but overall is an excellent game.
totally RECOMMENDED

This would be good. Except that, when I get attacked, the interface stops working properly. So any ideas I had of building more defenses, repairing things, etc. are gone.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Nice game, just a bit too short.
To win lvl 8:
- Build gas plant, a lab and lights 1st day
- Then go for thermal, mines and turrets
And lots of garbage trucks =P
4/5

A very interesting and fun mix of SimCity and Tower Defense games. But what about Hydroelectric power? and how do I research recycling? It told me I could get resources from rubble that way
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
the economic system is screwy: instead of all being updated at once, the different resources are used produced at "staggered" intervals: so first the farms use energy and make food, then a few seconds later, the power plants produce energy-very confusing and annoying.
there's also not enough time in some levels-especially 7+8-to build up defences before the first attack!

Sentroshi, i belive he meant the story, which is EXTREAMLY similar to that of Days of Ruin.
I love the voice: GARBAGE TRUCK! lol (i somehow got it to say that whenever i tried to do something i couldnt)
