As far as the tower defense genre goes, I didn't find it too innovative (I know it was made in only 48 hours, but it'd be cool to see something new). It fits the theme well, the graphics were pretty good (the animation on the enemies walking, while basic, was good too), and the music\/sound effects were great (the satisfying gunshot sounds D:). Great work!"},{"author_name":"Matthew Rayfield","author_uid":"44787","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 4:27am","epoch":1418012520,"text":"I think there is a bug where you can drag things onto the tan parts and although they don't show up, they still seem to shoot.

I liked the interface of just dragging what I wanted to buy onto the field.  The enemy spawns could use more variety.
