It would be better if the frequency of enemies that spawn increased over time. I packed a few towers on the first corner and they never get past now. Good job though, solid entry. :)"},{"author_name":"woodecker","author_uid":"6641","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 2:00pm","epoch":1418046900,"text":"Fun tower defense.

I think though some sort of funny twist or unique mechanic is needed. I bought an Ice Turret, it didnt seem to do anything. Was kinda hoping it would do something, even if it was silly.

It needs some balancing, better indication of tower range before placement, harder enemies, and things like that -- but you can play it and win\/lose, depending on your general ability, and that's certainly enough for a LD compo entry.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I would probably suggest switching to Unity or the like to deal with many snowmen\/turrets\/bullets on screen. My browser locked up a few times while playing when I had an overflow of objects moving around. :(\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall, it was quite fun, and I enjoyed myself! :) Tower defense is one of my favorite types of games, and this one is certainly playable as one!"},{"author_name":"mrexcessive","author_uid":"20788","time":"Dec 18, 2014 @ 8:05pm","epoch":1418932800,"text":"Hi there.
