I started by building two turrets and immediately had no way of gaining money except for selling both (!) those turrets again, leaving me defenceless...

This can be achieved via defending the island from the evil from beneath the surface. \r\n- But thing cost money; Fishing huts only generate money if there is fish on the local island (Represented by green bar). \r\n- Observatories produces more science per second. \r\n\r\nKnown bugs: \r\n- title menu won't start the game until you have looked at the help screen.\r\n- the game uses \"setInterval()\" to spawn monsters, witch runs on actual time, but the turrets does things every frame. If you have a laggy computer, this results in the turrets shooting slower than the game spawn the monsters and it's unlikely for you to win the game :( \r\n\r\nPlease comment! :)\r\n\r\nAnd as always: HAVE FUN!","title":"Surface Defence"}
