NOTE: The balance is pretty off and needs to be tweaked and I'll most likely do it after judging finishes.

My first thought was to spam knights, because of their health, but after the first boss wave I realized that an army full of knights is worthless. They are too slow to kill the tower before the next wave. So I ended up not getting much lives, while my knights walked between the first boss dome and the new wave. I think this is a nice balance feature.
Good job. :)
I think you were not able to put all the mechanics in because of the
stone which none of the units need. With a bit more balancing it would be more fun I think.
Also a knight just went over the ledge of the globe and killed himself.
Dont know if that was intended. :)
But i had fun playing. ^^
It would also be quite good as a game you could leave running in the background on along term. As I write this, the men of blue globe have destroyed three or four red globes, it would seem.
Very nice work!
