I like the idea, there's a lot of potential there. It's not super balanced and not much replay value when you just need to find the winning strategy, but with more depth it could be really fun.

Nice, this is the best game I've tried so far

I'm going to pass on rating this because on my laptop's intel graphics, half of the gameplay sprites seen in the screenshot are not showing up or are showing up pure white.

Good idea, it's quite playable, but it's terribly inbalanced... i couldn't do anything from the start, but then suddenly i got to the level i could just spam hundreds of towers and that's it.

Nice as a concept, shows potential (but reminds me one indie game, can't rememeber name, which combined tower defense gameplay with space invaders...)

Good game, although I agree with Shigor on the balance statement. Could use a little more strategy, but nice anyway. Graphics and sounds are quite nice, btw.

Needs some balancing, but a very neat idea.

Not a whole lot of balance, I beat the game in about 2 minutes after making a lot of money, and placing five dozen turrets around.

Very unbalanced. Once you have enough to buy even one tower, the game is over. The tower it is either too powerful or too cheap.

Other than that, I liked the idea, although remained me too much of tower defense.

you should increase the flow or spawning super baddies when the player have overwhelming forces on the ground. The game is cool :)
