The graphics (specifically the tiles) put me off at first glance, but I took a chance on it and was not disappointed.  I really liked having to micromanage turret placement to deal with the oncoming threats, though I'm not sure how the game handles which turret is placed where when I click on an unoccupied tile.  Other than that though, awesome game!"},{"author_name":"Sestren","author_uid":"10343","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 2:41am","epoch":1408934160,"text":"I wish there were more stages to play through, but nice job!"},{"author_name":"TheZiggy","author_uid":"36727","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 3:03am","epoch":1408935480,"text":"I couldn't seem to figure out how to place turrets.

It defeats the usual issue I have with TDs in that it isn't just &quot;set up and let it run&quot; as you have to constantly switch the towers there and back.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I'd really like to see this fleshed out to a whole game."},{"author_name":"varun","author_uid":"1675","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 3:06am","epoch":1408935660,"text":"Cool twist on the Tower defense genre - when it starts to pick up, its really cool to be forced to juggle between the two tower positions."},{"author_name":"disdanes","author_uid":"25239","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 3:30am","epoch":1408937100,"text":"Really impressed with what you were able to do in 2 days, I would definitely continue to work on this game!

The art is simple but eye-catching, and the mix of different damage types and the ability to switch turret around gives it some depth.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I had a little bit of trouble working up which turrets I was switching in - some indicator on the tile to which turret is on its opposite number would help with that though.

In this tower defense you are trying to defend two Connected Worlds from being overrun by elemental bugs.\r\n\r\nWhere you build the tower controls what type of towers you have access to, but never fret because you can warp them over to the other world (symmetrical side) in an instant. The bugs are weak against the opposite element, so warping towers at the right time can be the key to success.\r\n\r\n\r\nTips:\r\nPlace starting towers on both sides before hitting the start button.\r\n\r\nOrange bugs are week against blue towers and blue bugs are weak against orange towers. This also applies to your bases! (aka orange bugs hurt your blue base more and blue bugs hurt your orange base more) .\r\n\r\nSwapping towers at the right time can be the key to success.\r\n\r\n\r\nTo place a tower: \r\nclick a empty space, click one of the 3 with tower icons on the selector, hit the green check mark to confirm.\r\n\r\n\r\nKnown Issues (sorry):\r\nHitting start on main menu sometimes takes more than 1 click. I think it's a loading thing? If this happens sometimes refreshing the game seems to fix it.\r\n\r\nWhen selecting towers you have to close the selector to open it again.\r\n\r\nApparently there is a input issue when running the web player on mac :(\r\n\r\nMade With:\r\nUnity, NGUI Extension, and Paint.net.","title":"Fire &amp; Ice"}
