Nice idea for a tower defense game, but unfortunately the game seems to lockup for me in Chrome and Firefox on my Mac after I put on a third tower. I am waiting till after the Jam is over to vote!

Hey thanks @jmborden - there was a small issue that was fixed. Hope you give this another try :)

Nice job was a little confused at first but once I got it was a cool concept!

There was some very strange behavior with the turrets. It seemed like they often would just stop attacking for a while, with enemies clearly within their range. This was really frustrating, because it made it almost impossible to come up with any sort of strategy. Instead of being able to build a good path, it ended up just reacting to which towers decided to break that wave, and spamming cheap towers to try and patch the hole. After the wave with the black enemies, it locked up and crashed my browser.

It looks promising, but it seems there are quite a few bugs still to be rooted out.

Nice TD concept... Simple graphics, and fitting music...

Really nice! Well polished, looks good and fun gameplay. However I would love to see the path before I'm placing buildings and I wish here was some random offset in the fire time so that two turrets just shoot at little different timing (gives it a more dynamic feel)

Polished and slick design. It would've been nice to see some upgrades in there.

Very, very clever idea and excellent implementation. The game needs some balance and tweaking, but I really loved it. May be one of my favorite games so far. Great job!

Very clever concept and interesting to play, some upgrades might have been nice, and i agree with DevWouter, a way to see the path of enemies pre-round would have been nice.
