The gameplay is really solid, and I liked the durability on the turrets; that's something I've never seen done before. I didn't like that the second shot alternated randomly from side to side, it wasn't possible to tell what enemies were going to take the middle path, and that I couldn't figure out how the enemy damage system worked; for game based on strategy it's hard to work with random things. That being said, the graphics were very good and the music sealed the deal. Overall, very good job!"},{"author_name":"fhoenig","author_uid":"14466","time":"Aug 29, 2012 @ 4:18am","epoch":1346213580,"text":"Please make a Mac port!"},{"author_name":"zakchaos","author_uid":"13273","time":"Aug 29, 2012 @ 4:33am","epoch":1346214480,"text":"Well done game man, really had alot of fun playing it thru, made it to wave 9, really impressive what people are capable of in 3 days. the graphics were excellent, and your mechanic was executed flawlessly."},{"author_name":"Kurt","author_uid":"8494","time":"Aug 29, 2012 @ 5:37am","epoch":1346218320,"text":"Wow, great job Nate!
