I really liked how you used the 10 seconds. Click the towers to repair them was smart- The downside was (at least for me) it was a bit too easy, and the waves were a bit too long towards the end, so I rarely had to repair my towers much. A greater variety of towers, and maybe the ability to decide which ones to build instead.\rBut all in all I good game, personally I love TD games :P - And I really think your idea with the Theme was great!"},{"author_name":"Nick Weihs","author_uid":"21927","time":"Aug 28, 2013 @ 7:50pm","epoch":1377719100,"text":"That was a fun TD, the skeletons look cool =)"},{"author_name":"Kwrky","author_uid":"17889","time":"Aug 29, 2013 @ 3:35pm","epoch":1377790200,"text":"Best on your kind feedback, first post comp version is uploaded.

I'll tell you a secret, the firing in the wrong direction is the tower shooting at the object pool of enemies =D It's a bug, but at least it's one I don't feel too bad about.
