The graphics are very appealing and fit the feel of the game well, and it's a really nice twist on tower defense. I felt like I learned a lot in the very first round about how I set everything up so horribly wrong.

However, I didn't get a lot out of the main mechanic. I pretty much just spread out my archers before I started and then let it run. There's a few things that I assume are bugs that make it a bit unbalanced. On the top, left and right the archers wiped out almost everything in one volley. On the bottom,, they never fired a shot. It crashed on the fifth round in both the WebGL version and the Mac OS version.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Despite all that, I quite enjoyed myself.
