There are a lot of these sort of browser games on various flash portals, but I don't think I've ever seen one where you make the monsters ahead of time and teleport them in so that is fairly novel. Everything in the game seems to work and it feels pretty polished. The unfortunate thing is there doesn't seem to be anything else once you earn enough money to push back the humans. I just flooded the bottom screen with yellow monsters. Pretty good for 48 hours. It could probably be fully fleshed out into a successful game and put up on Kongregate or Armor Games.

Cool game but after you get two streams of monsters it becomes trivial, but great idea, maybe, if you want, polish it in the future :3

Really liked the building part, unfortunately humans are very quickly become overwhelmed with your unending stream of monsters.

Not able to run the web build, I click the start button and nothing happens. :(

The start is difficult.

It's a very cool concept and a unique idea. The game could do with a bit more variety with enemies and units. Definitely has potential though!

I am impressed! This is very creative of you and I'll give you a nice score for that. I had very fun playing this, and I'd actually love a finished version of this. I love the cute art as well.

Really enjoyed this. Creation with purpose is always great in a game. Started to wonder about how you could implement logic gates using these components. If you get to that point, then you could have something incredible on your hands. Unfortunately the entire interface becomes quote unresponsive later into the game, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Good job

It doesn't really fit the theme, but it's really a fun game! A pretty solid and original reverse tower defense. Too bad we can't build other portals, or there's no other levels. You have a really good base for a great success!

Nice game, it took me some time to figure out how it works, at first I thought the arrows where to move over the grid for placing an item. nice graphics and audio. good job!

Interesting concept. This could be fleshed out into a much more in depth tower defense game, for sure.

Makes for a fun browser game, and a good starting concept for fleshing out into something more.

My score 38250! Wuhu! I really enjoyed this game! And like other people mentioned before it's a very nice candidate to become a fully fleshed game! I can already imagine power Ups, different Growing combinations, different cauldrons, etc! It could be awesomee!! Keep up the supergood work!

I loved playing this! Its very fun, but in my eyes it has two substantial problems:
-Its quite hard to get the factory running in the beginning
-When you have 7 spawners, a monster goes through the portal on each step, so the game is basically over ;)

I think it would be even more fun, if you would add more factory components and maybe a smooth moving system. All in all great work so far!

Nice game, the balancing made the game really hard but it was fun to play.
Good job.

Quite charming.
If I had the ability to turn and move elements already in place I could imagine myself playing this game everyday on my morning commute.

Wow! Good and addictive time killer! Must be extended (more factory details, better controls, more foes) and implement for mobiles!

I like the concept of generating monster and send them in conveyor belt.
But I think the beginning is too difficult to start with that money(maybe is the price of building makes it hard).

Interesting! I was really confused at first with controls, which is my silliness, I'm sure. <.< But yes, despite my failings, well done :).

Wow, I love this idea! I want to see this turned into a full game-- I'd play it! I think it could use a little more obvious signal that your spawns are being blocked, since that turned out to be important to the factory design but it took me a while to notice. Also a restart button. Otherwise this is awesome!
