I'd love to see the game in a more complete state since it feels there's plenty of potential in the idea! Figuring out a good tactic was interesting but it got a little shallow after a while.

I really enjoy the combined concept of digging and tower defense. And the graphics are just gorgeous. With some sounds\/music, and a bit more fleshing out of the gameplay, I think you could really be onto something.
