Honestly though the mechanic where you have limited resources and have to move them accordingly based off where the threat is coming from is really fun (especially with multi-player).  gj! ...

Add a [2] cannon maybe?"},{"author_name":"the","author_uid":"29514","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 3:58pm","epoch":1387209180,"text":"Good theme interpretation, nice idea."},{"author_name":"Fogs","author_uid":"30300","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 4:18pm","epoch":1387210380,"text":"Very fun game!

The controls and the repositioning lag frustrated me more than anything. I guess therein lies the challenge, to implement the theme in a way that opens up new gameplay options and adds to the genre rather than detract.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I did like the variety of enemy types.
