Not really a problem, but kinda confusing. The process of evolution for the towers seemed like a pretty standard thing for TD games. A serviceable TD game without much new stuff, but I did like the orbital motion of the towers."},{"author_name":"Jeremy1080","author_uid":"15093","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 2:44am","epoch":1346035140,"text":"Thank you very much! And I was worried about that, so I thought I put it in the description in game that they would be coming from the bottom, I must have missed that, sorry about that! But thank you for your feed back! And ya I liked the evolution idea of the towers myself, because most TD's have you upgrade towers with coins, but I took it a step further and made the towers evolve with experience :D"},{"author_name":"vicethal","author_uid":"14312","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 2:58am","epoch":1346035980,"text":"I really liked this TD. By wave 30, I felt the game could have moved a little faster. I'll leave it up and mess with survival mode for a bit :) The sound effects are quite mellow and not sfxr, good work."},{"author_name":"Jeremy1080","author_uid":"15093","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 3:06am","epoch":1346036460,"text":"Thank you so much!

I went about 20 waves in before calling it quits... I'd really like to see you add to this game with additional\/evolving enemies, and maybe even a feature where towers end up evolving into other towers... anyway, nice work!"},{"author_name":"CataclysmicKnight","author_uid":"1082","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 5:22am","epoch":1346044620,"text":"I died a few times heading into level 4 or 5, but once I got the hang of it I ended up annihilating them!

No real differentiation between towers (where were the slow, AoE, stun, etc.). Different levels would've been nice. Would've liked a refund to sell back towers, or at least an &quot;undo&quot; in case you accidentally placed a tower.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Music was nice, sound effects were effective without being in your face."},{"author_name":"Jeremy1080","author_uid":"15093","time":"Aug 29, 2012 @ 2:38am","epoch":1346207580,"text":"Thanks!

It's great to have a complete game (with sound even!) and I really like how the towers evolve! By looking at how quickly they are evolving I can see if I put them in good or bad spots.
