The game is not completed and i should have made it more harder and a wave system. I ran out of time due to procrastination and poor time management. I plan to fix this problem with me soon. I will work on this in the future making it so that it is more playable than 2 minutes or less. I will add this to the completed version of the game after voting is completely done.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Matthew Roelle","author_uid":"1019696","time":"2018-04-25T04:50:18Z","epoch":1524631818,"modified":1524631818,"text":"Those little green dudes didn't know what hit em.

Game is way too easy as is, but I read the above, so I understand why. Obviously, it would take some more complexity and challenge to make it a full game.

It is fun to build a giant army of turrets, but because zombies spawn at the same rate, there really is no difficulty and the game is just waiting until you can place a new turret. don't see how it connects to the theme, but overall fun and relaxing, I'd love to see an updated version.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"PonchoGuy","author_uid":"1009958","time":"2018-05-08T15:22:37Z","epoch":1525792957,"modified":1525792957,"text":"Hey, I played this on stream and it was really fun!\n\nI loved the turret placing mechanic and protecting the crystal!\n\nOne thing that I would be zombie damage to the player, as he could literally walk up to the enemy portal and put turrets down there :smile: - Might even make the game abit harder as you need to get behind the turrets to progress!\n\nPossibly some kind of upgrades scattered throughout the map - I saw you built a huge open map but there's little to be seen other than the enemy portal.\n\nSomething funny too could be an off switch for the portal that you could pull to win the game :smirk: But that's just me..\n\nGreat game!
