Hey there :) Two things:
- having to click repeatedly to fire is a very frustrating mechanic, especially in this tower-defense kind of game where you'll have to click all game. Maybe consider using a "hold left mouse button down" approach.
- Putting the game in fullscreen made it much harder to play, because I couldn't click the borders of the screen. You know, the borders on which enemies appear.

Both legitimate complaints. I didn't budget my time well enough to make something complete, so I released a kind of lame game with tacked-on gameplay. What I really should have done was start off by creating an actually *fun* gameplay prototype, and built things off of it -- but I spent a lot more time just trying to complete what I had written down in the first five minutes, which led to an unfun mess of random gameplay components.

Nevertheless, it was a very enjoyable experience to just sit down for the weekend and just make a game. Thanks so much for playing it giving me your two cents, can't wait for the next Ludum Dare where I'll try to do a lot better. :slight_smile:

It get difficult to play with the laptop touchpad. But it is a fun game.
