It would have set the mood a bit higher. \n\nOverall I enjoyed this game and had an amazing time playing it for about 20 minutes.

The graphics are simple but fitting (though I agree, some outlines on the buildings would be nice if you're gonna promote putting blue buildings on blue tiles), and the chaotic plethora of beams during battle give me that sweet TD rush of watching an enemy horde faceplant itself on my defenses.\n\nRegarding the theme though: The game gets easier as the map grows, since I can make my spiral path of AoE doom even longer (if there's a better strategy than hemming the enemy in along a spinal path made up of AoE towers, I haven't found it).\n\nAnd as a last note: Perhaps add some visual feedback of what the slow-towers are doing (or, if that already exists, make it clearer).","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Rature","author_uid":"1066451","time":"2017-12-06T12:47:06Z","epoch":1512564426,"modified":1512564426,"text":"Very cool, it would be very nice to have the possibility to choose a CMY mode at the beginning of the game, you know, for painters :) ","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"olaf666","author_uid":1029474,"time":"2017-12-06T13:00:47Z","epoch":1512565247,"modified":1512565247,"text":"Hi, really nice game! got killed at wave 10 !, too bad there is no way to get back some life :)\nI was wondering if building a specific colored building on a same colored ground was generating a specific bonnus or not.

It comes with a decent amount of depth and strategy for some very simple mechanics and rules. As some have mentioned earlier, the game does have some balance issues later on, so maybe some tweaking could be made. With a bit more polish, I could see myself playing this game a lot. A minor bug would be that the text flows out of the boxes in the tower selection screen. Overall, a simple game that has a surprising amount of depth.
