Seems that the enemies all firing at once makes all the calculations for those projectiles happen at the same time, causing that spike at a fixed interval. Other than that, and the amusing warning at the start, the core mechanic grew on me and the movements and spawning of your minions seems good! I thought there was going to be an issue because for a while I was able to just cram them either (1) where the enemies were spawning or (2) in the little entryways to the top-right area, but then the opponents seemed to increase their spawn area, heh. I think you could certainly keep improving it if you felt motivated to! Oh, and a pause button would've helped a bit with all the frenetic movements, I could barely get a screencap in by the time it got hectic! :) (Final score of 105~)"},{"author_name":"Rynig","author_uid":"30163","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 3:37am","epoch":1387251120,"text":"BluShine: sorry! I didn't think about where to host it beforehand. It may be that you downloaded it before I reuploaded it compiled against java 1.6 instead of 1.7 (what I initially uploaded it as)\r\rTwila: Yeah, I really didn't think the mechanics through that well, one think I particularly dislike is that once you have enough minions around the spawning areas, all enemies seem to die instantly. My collision detection is also O(n^2) right now too, it would be possible to use a quadtree and take that down to O(nlog(n)) if I had more time (and eliminate much of the lag)"},{"author_name":"mcapraro","author_uid":"28472","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 4:12am","epoch":1387253220,"text":"seems there is a crashing bug that keeps it from running on my osx machine"},{"author_name":"thegoofromspace","author_uid":"18653","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 4:20am","epoch":1387253700,"text":"You know, I like the idea of killing your enemies with zombies and using the parts to build more zombies.

The first game I played this Dare and enjoyed it! (thou i did just start a moment ago).
