I appreciate the added complexity of being able to avoid fire and blowing up TNT with the right timing. Graphics are nice too, I especially like how your tower actually gets destroyed bit by bit. I only have two quibbles and one issue with this game:\r\r1) The bullets seem a bit slow, making it hard to hit TNT or ammo boxes when they are far away; making them faster however could potentially make them too hard to dodge and the gameplay too chaotic. Maybe make it so you can shoot the parachute as well and not just the box? That way things would be a bit easier to hit. (Maybe I just suck at aiming though.)\r\r2) The gun seems to fire a bit higher than the mouse cursor. You can get used to it after a while, but coupled with the slow bullets and small targets this can lead to some problems early on :P\r\rThe only real issue I ran into is running out of bullets...at that point you have basically lost the game, since you need to shoot the ammo crates to get more bullets, which you can't do when you're out of bullets :D\r\rAll in all a very fun game with a solid execution and nice attention to detail.
