I'm horrible at tower defense, but having no control over how your towers were going to upgrade was interesting. If you continue to polish it, it would be nice to have some kind of graphical distinction between towers."},{"author_name":"Fenmar","author_uid":"3866","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 8:13am","epoch":1346054880,"text":"It's a solid tower defense game and very impressive considered that it's all SVG. I especially like that enemies get lighter when they loose HP.\r\rThe graphical distinction between towers could be more intense. Also: In a full maze with lots of enemies, some of them begin to lag or get stuck in corners. Happens very rarely though.\r\rMy highscore: 1047"},{"author_name":"toteus","author_uid":"13114","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 9:47pm","epoch":1346103720,"text":"love the game it is really addictive.\r\rMy highscore:4673"},{"author_name":"Vurb","author_uid":"12847","time":"Aug 28, 2012 @ 3:04am","epoch":1346122740,"text":"cool idea the enemys move kinda fast but like fenmar said i like how the enemys get lighter as they loose health."},{"author_name":"Tinco & Jeroen","author_uid":"11765","time":"Aug 28, 2012 @ 3:33am","epoch":1346124480,"text":"It looks pretty good and plays nice :)"},{"author_name":"LoneStranger","author_uid":"203","time":"Aug 28, 2012 @ 6:50am","epoch":1346136300,"text":"Thought it was an interesting game. The UI was a little weird, and I thought it made for too much movement and mouse clicks when deleting and upgrading towers. Would have preferred to just build on top of the existing to cut out the cancel\/click on tower\/sell. Not knowing how the tower options would evolve was neat, but it sucked when I accidentally deleted the best one I had at the time since I wouldn't get it back. I thought the tower graphics was interesting. I played it a couple times before trying again and reaching 6443. At that point, I had grown tired of the tower upgrade routine so I stopped evolving new towers."},{"author_name":"Kickerua","author_uid":"12289","time":"Aug 28, 2012 @ 7:12am","epoch":1346137620,"text":"Tried to sell some towers, and my "new tower icon" disappeared. :) It seems that I've sell it."},{"author_name":"eyehawk","author_uid":"15255","time":"Aug 28, 2012 @ 8:07am","epoch":1346140920,"text":"I kind of like the tower defence game you've made here.
