I liked the game overall, I think I've never played a platformer TD! I think it was a bit unfair that on the second evolution enemies came from "behind" the crystal too without any explanation :)\r\rGreat job! good game :D"},{"author_name":"Talslain","author_uid":"14482","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 8:18pm","epoch":1346098380,"text":"I always have liked a good tower defense and I enjoyed this one. Very addictive, had me hooked for quite some time, Only thing I noticed about it is there could be a sound for when the mobs are hit but this is only a small thing, in general a well done tower defense, I really enjoyed it."},{"author_name":"gnx","author_uid":"8333","time":"Aug 29, 2012 @ 8:50am","epoch":1346229900,"text":"Basic tower defense game.\rGraphical and audio presentation were nice, and there was definitely some strategy to buying the towers.\r\rThe tower effects themselves could've been more satisfying though."},{"author_name":"danlthemanl","author_uid":"5573","time":"Aug 29, 2012 @ 6:48pm","epoch":1346265780,"text":"Nice job. :D"},{"author_name":"xhunterko","author_uid":"1960","time":"Aug 29, 2012 @ 8:25pm","epoch":1346271600,"text":"Well. I really don't like tower defense games. Cause, usually there is no win condition. Still though. This one looks nice, plays well. The only thing I found frustrating was the difficulty increase. It seemed that there wasn't enough cash to protect my crystal efficiently enough. Ended too quick.

Very basic, but balanced enough to be fun. During the second evolution, wave 5 or so, the game tweaked out, skipped to a screen with a crystal, and I had no towers and died.

I was pleasantly surprised when it evolved to the second stage.\r\rGraphics were simple, but got the job done fairly well. Nice grid based design. The music was also really nice.\r\rThe AI and tower placing all worked perfectly. I felt that the levels were too long though. After the 10th wave in the second level I had 2000PO, nowhere to build and was basically just hitting 'Start Wave' waiting for the next evolution."},{"author_name":"AdventureIslands","author_uid":"11391","time":"Sep 2, 2012 @ 4:53pm","epoch":1346604480,"text":"Basic but pretty well done tower defence. You should have added more visual feedback, at first I didn't notice that my towers are even hurting enemies, and the towers could have had somekind of building animation when they were being set up.
