I just wish I knew what &quot;speed&quot; and &quot;rate&quot; refer to.

It's as unconventional as it is random. The trees all look random at least, but there's no way of distinguishing between any of them. The mechanics work for themselves but I am missing a bit of fun, as in fun graphics or fun sound at least. Luckily, the game is self explanatory, I had no troubles with the interface or grasping the mechanics."},{"author_name":"berkano","author_uid":"11027","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 7:43pm","epoch":1429558680,"text":"Quite cool, would have been great with some sound!"},{"author_name":"knarf2011","author_uid":"49505","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 7:46pm","epoch":1429558860,"text":"Fun stab at a generally overused game type. Simplicity made it feel refreshing and fun to play. A little difficult to tell trees apart. I quickly filled up the entire board with pine trees and could not delete any, and thus had to release 20 waves at once to be challenged. With a feature to remove trees, it would have been better."},{"author_name":"CryoGenesis","author_uid":"14720","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 7:48pm","epoch":1429558980,"text":"Addicting game!

I was hoping for something original.  Does rate mean range?

No bugs, and the interface was intuitive.  The variety in the tree attacks was pretty cool, but more distinct graphics would greatly help.  Nice job."},{"author_name":"Chippington","author_uid":"31385","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 4:24am","epoch":1429676340,"text":"It would be really nice to remove\/sell trees (like burning them, ala slash-and-burn maybe) or upgrading them. Their strengths don't really match the costs, since 5 pines can handle way more than a single oak.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>A simple, easy game.
