Towers also sometimes glitch out and target enemies far away and ignoring those close by.
It was pretty fun balancing between placing refineries to get more income in the long run and towers to actually survive incoming enemies. I also liked that you have to build factories to place the different towers, instead of just having access to everything off the get-go. More tower variety would be nice, but of course, overlord Mike Kasprzak only gives us a measly 72 hours :shrug:
One criticism that I do have is the exploding enemies. A shorter radius and/or weaker damage would have been nice. I couldn't last too long with those little devils on the field, they are the main antagonists of the game. Maybe I'm just a dummy, it sounds like other people in the comments made it farther than me.
I spent a good bit of time playing the game regardless, it's super fun. I hope you'll make another fun game in Ludum Dare 51!
