The game felt solid and it's a nice step towards the TD\/RTS genre (it's a little of both, I guess?).\r\rSome stuff for improvement: I need more feedback when placing towers, like maybe transparent visuals? Also, can we speed up that timer somehow? Or just get rid of it and count down the number of monsters left?\r\rOther than that, I like it!"},{"author_name":"rynti","author_uid":"8363","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 6:27am","epoch":1346048520,"text":"Published a Post-LD build with fast forward functionality and enhanced visuals for building, thanks to your great feedback!

It took a while to realize that you can scroll. Also when it said "sorry you lost", I could never figure out WHY I lost. I did notice there were both cyan and green things you could place, perhaps we are supposed to protect the green ones?"},{"author_name":"Keevor","author_uid":"7162","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 8:13am","epoch":1346054880,"text":"I beat it! a good balance of challenge and fun.

I hope people get it now ;)\r\r@Keevor: I'm sooo glad you liked the balancing, I really thought a lot about how difficult I should make it and I tweaked quite a bit, I personally liked the result and I'm happy you're sharing my opinion ;)\r\r@Bemmu: I actually wanted to create a bit of an intro with an explanatory help, but didn't have time for that. I guess I could make the reason for losing more obvious by moving the camera to the destroying crystal extractor (The "green thing" ;D) and play a bit of an explosion animation before showing the game over screen. I'll see if I'm able to obtain motivation for digging back into the code and implementing that^^\r\rAnyways, I'm happy to see that people really enjoy this game!"},{"author_name":"DavidErosa","author_uid":"5049","time":"Aug 28, 2012 @ 12:29pm","epoch":1346156640,"text":"I generally don't like this kind of games, but I enjoyed this one :)"},{"author_name":"benderbinary","author_uid":"16038","time":"Aug 30, 2012 @ 1:58pm","epoch":1346334780,"text":"Really fun TD variation."},{"author_name":"AdventureIslands","author_uid":"11391","time":"Sep 2, 2012 @ 5:17pm","epoch":1346605920,"text":"This was pretty good, I would suggest speeding it up but looks like you have already done that in post-compo version."},{"author_name":"Syarahsy","author_uid":"17100","time":"Sep 3, 2012 @ 7:10am","epoch":1346655900,"text":"Tower defense! yay!
