Placing towers seems a bit tricky in this. It says in the instructions on the applet page you have to press "mouseleft" to place towers, but I can only place towers by right clicking, and not moving the mouse.

Good start, but it crashed on me when the pink-hat looking mob came out.

Couldn't figure out how to place towers until I realized it's Right Mouse instead of Left Mouse like the instructions mention. Also, when you buy the tower that costs 1500 it looks like the game crashes as soon as it shoots an enemy.

Nice soundtrack... no crashes for me but placing the towers required some mouse tricks...

Pretty fun standard tower defence :)
I liked the music. The difficulty seems to be well balanced.

Solid tower defense game. The enemy units seemed to stack up quite a bit when spawning. I liked the mid wave power up shop.

Its working on Windows :) so I played it again.
Its a really solid and fun towerdefense. Surprisingly good balanced (quite an acomplishment in 48 Hour)#
Nice job all of you!

The music was pretty cool. Spamming basic towers went surprisingly well, until the applet crashed. It was fun to play, good work.
