Not much more than that, though. Easy to pick up and play, so you have that going for you.

The difficulty is okay, but in the beginning there's really only one way to play without losing. The easier you make the game, the more possibilities you give the player to develop his own playing style.\r<br\/>Works well on mobile devices. It's a little bit slow, and only playable well on big screens."},{"author_name":"Blizzard Muffin","author_uid":"41059","time":"Aug 30, 2014 @ 11:43am","epoch":1409398680,"text":"Very fun, played for a while.

I like upgrading a tower to customize it instead of building specific types. Also, the grenade mechanic is a nice way to let me interact during the waves without letting me juggle. The game is a little unbalanced but that's part of the fun of tower defence. I'm guessing it goes forever...?"},{"author_name":"ALobker","author_uid":"31811","time":"Aug 30, 2014 @ 11:59am","epoch":1409399640,"text":"Nice game.

On 1\/1\/2000 00:01 the portals opened. Portals connected to any world imaginable. And then they came. We run. We hide in the dessert for the last couple of years. But they found us. They are coming for us. I am the first line of defense. It's time to defend ourselves...\r\n\r\nConvergence is a tower defense game played with the mouse or on a touch screen. I used Construct 2 for the game and jfxr fir the sound effects.\r\n\r\nInstructions: Click\/Tap to place turrets. Click\/Tap on a turret to upgrade or salvage. Every enemy drops a specific resource when they die. Use these resources before every wave to upgrade the turrets. During the wave Click\/Tap to throw grenade. When the enemies reach your base the drop your health and your resources. You loose when your health reached zero.\r\n\r\nAlways leave a path open for the enemies to follow to the camp. Don't forget to use your grenade.\r\n(You might want to resize your browser window tomake it smaller if you play on a big screen.)","title":"Convergence"}
