Well done! :)"},{"author_name":"Markavian","author_uid":"10967","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 6:29pm","epoch":1346091840,"text":"Nice take on the tower defense theme. I found that the screen on the right covered up the building options. I found I quickly got swamped and lost my creatures. Might have made more sense  if there were less options \/ parts that made up each creature. I could see you were going for detail to do with how the creatures were made up, but I'm not sure it quite paid off."},{"author_name":"iemfi","author_uid":"16571","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 6:47pm","epoch":1346092920,"text":"Thanks for the feedback guys! Markavian you're right, I definitely should have gone for a much simpler creature system instead of running out of time and having everything half baked. As for the detail window on the right covering stuff, I forgot about different window resolutions &gt;_&lt;"},{"author_name":"Mamick","author_uid":"15144","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 10:50pm","epoch":1346107500,"text":"The detail window covered my building options too, but I can see what you were trying to do and its a cool idea.
