My winning strategy wasn't very interesting and only required canons, but I suspect that's mainly my fault for being unfamiliar with this type of game. That said, it's some really impressive work.

The gameplay needs a bit of work as discussed above. There's a big advantage to building canon at the far left of the map, since they get more shots out before the baddies reach them. I found if I put a row of five there I didn't need to build anything else, and I couldn't come close to winning with any other strategy (it seems you have to build five canon as they can only fire in a straight line, and once you've done that you don't have any credits left over)."},{"author_name":"link2x101","author_uid":"8807","time":"Sep 2, 2012 @ 7:16am","epoch":1346569860,"text":"Shows promise.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>My issues:\r<br\/>-Enemies float off the ground.\r<br\/>-All cannon towers constantly fire during a wave, enemies or not.\r<br\/>-Enemy animation doesn't match actual speed.\r<br\/>-Enemies move too fast for their health.
