It's amazing how this simple design makes for so much fun.\n\nThings I loved: the mood. The theme. Scientists! Experimenting with the different scientist builds.\n\nWhat could be improved? There were some tight hallways where the aliens were hidden under the walls and\/or walking through them. I wish there was a super creepy (or upbeat) scifi music track in the background.\n\nGreat work!

Really hard though. Just getting too close to a critter seems to be instant game over.  \nI love the sound design. The spawn sound is suitably ominous.  \nThe power ups were a nice addition to keep things interesting.  \nThe aliens being occluded by the walls wasn't great, and they would sometimes clip through the bottom.  \nI missed that you could restock turrets, that font is not the easiest to read. Interestingly I got much further not using the turrets. It seems they spend most of their time shooting at dead aliens which is not useful.  \nI ran into a bug where starting a new game would still have the 'you lost' window open from my previous round over the character.
