Not the most original of games, but pretty well executed and pretty fun.\r\r - This game could've done well with a bit of a menu, or at least a pause button... The first wave was counting down before I realized it.\r - The enemies have no variation, that's a bit of a shame.\r - The towers also have no variation, that's also a bit of a shame, especially in a tower defence.\r - The upgradebutton is red, which makes it seem as if you don't have enough money to upgrade. Somewhat confusing.\r - I like the rain, and I like the fire and damage effects.\r\rSo anyway, I'm a whiner. I think it's a pretty nice game, and I think you should keep working on it to make it more varied. Good luck ;)"},{"author_name":"bwdevel","author_uid":"12229","time":"Dec 17, 2012 @ 9:14am","epoch":1355735340,"text":"This is Athanatos' Game Maker Tower Defense tutorial with nothing more than some added sound, different resolution and different graphics.

I then implemented several additional features such as; mazing, zone control, level progression, and multiple tree progressions for the turrets.
