I do agree with the other comments that once you get an idea of the timing, you don't really need to move anymore and just end up focusing on clicking."},{"author_name":"tklovert","author_uid":"30001","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 5:25am","epoch":1387171200,"text":"Yeah that was kind of a problem. The game picks up a WHOLE lot around level 10 once the enemies start taking more hits. Also, as levels go by there are also more enemies and they spawn faster, but the slow start leaves a lot to be desired.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I probably should have made the game only 25 levels instead of 50, but it's tough without any real time to spend on testing. Oh well :)."},{"author_name":"Garrick","author_uid":"31493","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 5:48am","epoch":1387172580,"text":"The game mechanics don't make a whole lot of sense. It's faster to re-place your tower rather than waiting for it to fire again, and you can just click on the current spot and it will fire again. The bullets could use tracking of some sort. Pretty boring after a while."},{"author_name":"tklovert","author_uid":"30001","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 6:05am","epoch":1387173600,"text":"Sorry you didn't like it! It says in the beginning that you can click the tower again once the timer is done to shoot again (which is totally a feature and not a bug... yeahh)."},{"author_name":"Cezel_","author_uid":"30673","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 6:14am","epoch":1387174140,"text":"Best theme idea i've seen so far."},{"author_name":"cBit","author_uid":"18437","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 6:15am","epoch":1387174200,"text":"This game is quite difficult at the later levels, but it's still fun, especially when you get a badass upgraded tower. Sometimes the directions that the tower fired in seemed a bit bad, but apart from that it was a pretty good game! I can see how it could get a bit repetitive after a while, but I'm not really sure how that could be fixed given the theme."},{"author_name":"Crowbeak","author_uid":"16689","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 6:15am","epoch":1387174200,"text":"This is a fantastic idea, and I think with more work it could be a fantastic game. Letting players click the tower every so often to fire again makes it more active, which is cool, but aiming is difficult."},{"author_name":"Lustdante","author_uid":"25182","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 6:58am","epoch":1387176780,"text":"I think you created a new genre here!"},{"author_name":"Danman9914","author_uid":"30580","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 2:56pm","epoch":1387205460,"text":"A little bit tedious but the basic tower defense mechanics were well implemented.
