Makes it different from your traditional tower defence. :P\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Perhaps having a few powers to spend gold on would have been nice. It's difficult to spend enough gold to prolong prevent both sides accumulating a bunch. So far I've lasted 163 seconds ^_^"},{"author_name":"JJEvil","author_uid":"46521","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 7:42pm","epoch":1418153820,"text":"You are your own worst enemy I guess. Neat concept!"},{"author_name":"Victory Garden","author_uid":"22357","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 4:29am","epoch":1418185440,"text":"Neat game! I really loved the idea of promoting balance, rather than unilateral conquest. This is really cool! It took me too long to figure out that clicking the buttons on the bottom turns on and off production (rather than that I needed to click them a lot--oh well, my error), and I agree with some of the other posters that gold probably went up a bit too fast. It seems like maybe needing to balance things so two wizards come out at the same time would have worked better?\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Still, I honestly enjoyed myself and played through a few times, trying to beat my previous score. Thank you for the game!"},{"author_name":"Jaloko","author_uid":"37180","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 4:33am","epoch":1418185680,"text":"Cool game!"},{"author_name":"TiagoJDFerreira","author_uid":"45461","time":"Dec 11, 2014 @ 9:32am","epoch":1418290020,"text":"This could give birth to an interesting game, but I didn't find it engaging.

I lasted longer by not summoning any units and wait for the wizards to appear at the same time, destroying both castles at the same time.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Nevertheless, it's a nice take on the theme. Good job!"},{"author_name":"snickersnacks","author_uid":"36844","time":"Dec 12, 2014 @ 1:03am","epoch":1418345880,"text":"Needs some balancing, I agree with everyone else. I didn't understand what toggling on\/off any of the buttons did, nor what I needed to use Repair for. So much hand drawn art!

I really like the concept... however the game seems fixed since there is no real way to spend down money. I tried having one side stop to force the other side into expensive repairs for a bit, but then the 3 archers attacking became invincible and I could not recover. Good job, though :)"},{"author_name":"CliffracerX","author_uid":"42929","time":"Dec 13, 2014 @ 9:26pm","epoch":1418505660,"text":"Fun, and interesting use of the theme.

While interesting the game devolves into a mindless clickfest rather quickly - I fear this may be a fundamental problem with the concept rather than a bad implementation.  Maybe there's a way to make it more compelling?
