With a litle expansion, this'd be awesome.

I also can't see any objective for invaders, and could not make the upsurge command work too...

I couldn't see much of a difference between the upgraded weapons and the basic one; I eventually just stuck with basic because it was doing the job.  Also, the surge thing never seemed to do much either, but maybe I was missing something.  It worked well, though, and looks like the basis for something fun.  Nice work!"},{"author_name":"timtipgames","author_uid":"15341","time":"Aug 30, 2012 @ 6:26am","epoch":1346307660,"text":"I really don't see where this is different from any common tower defense game (Beside it being not balanced at all)? The evolving AI is hardly observable when building 8 towers in a row will be enough to kill everything that passes for hours (thats what i did). Changing weapon type doesn't seem to have an effect for me. Upsurge only seemd to work randomly.

I would have liked either some interesting pathing forced by the terrain or cheaper turrets so I could build big paths for the enemies with structures. Is there a win condition? I wound up setting up an impassable defense and just letting it run."},{"author_name":"Bloodyaugust","author_uid":"3773","time":"Aug 31, 2012 @ 4:06am","epoch":1346385660,"text":"Thank you guys all so much for playing this!
