I tried repeatedly making the carapace and saving up to build lots of towers but nothing worked. That's how I lost.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The lag is most noticeable when I'm in the selection menu, which is quite bad.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>But hey, it really is impressive what you've done here regardless. I like that you parodied Plants VS. Zombies. Please keep working on the balance and whatnot, it's a neat little game."},{"author_name":"Jani Nyk\u00e4nen","author_uid":"26965","time":"Aug 26, 2015 @ 1:37pm","epoch":1440595920,"text":"I'm not big friend of tower defense games, but I still had fun playing this one."},{"author_name":"zatyka","author_uid":"14357","time":"Aug 26, 2015 @ 7:26pm","epoch":1440616860,"text":"Was really really easy, then ridiculous difficult at the end.  It seemed like all the powerful mobs were came at once, and on the same row.

Things got pretty easy in the middle once I had a sizable force, but got really tough once those laser guys showed up. I look forward to a more finished version! The UI was fantastic! I also have to say I love the thought of a war waging over thousands of years between humanity and some huge alien :)"},{"author_name":"spotco","author_uid":"35477","time":"Aug 28, 2015 @ 6:44am","epoch":1440743940,"text":"loved the theme :)"},{"author_name":"jhrrsn","author_uid":"18114","time":"Aug 28, 2015 @ 2:13pm","epoch":1440770880,"text":"Super cool! Great visual design, and very satisfying PvZ-style gameplay!
