Yay for jazzy intro theme :) Neat little tower defense like. I really like how you made the levels since you really have to think how to beat them. One thing is disliked was the placing of the towers. It would be easier if you could see the radius before actually placing them. One thing that is really misssing is the theme, though :(

This is really fun. Great concept for a puzzle game with the limited beam things. :)

Yay, I beat all the levels!
The idea was great, the execution, well done .
It would be better with a "real" level editor, better heroes sprite, and in-game music .

I. Love. This. Game.

Always been a fan of tower defenses and this one just really did it for me. I would demand that you take this further but I kinda of think that the simplicity really makes this as awesome as I think it is.

Unfortunately it doesn't really tie into the theme (the "heroes" don't look much like heroes and their names are never shown in-game (that I saw :O)). But still...you even had a level editor!

Still can't complete the last two levels... I'll try again when I'm less tired. Absolutely loved it - great idea, great puzzles, awesome intro music.

I'll be sure to implement a hint system into a later version of the game. I'll also put up the solutions for every level once I finish studying for finals.

Really nice little game! Not played anything like this before. Could do with some more work on the visuals, not that they're not clean but actually having hero characters and seige towers might be nice :)

Enjoyable to play once I figured out how to pick up the turrets. After that my only feeling was that I really would have loved to see the outline of the paths that the objects traversed so I could plan better.

If you hover your mouse over a hero in the upper left corner, you can see their paths.
