I tried human, house, turret, and shot, and then just built a global network of turrents. Eventually I spotted shield, but couldn't figure out if it was invulnerable to the fireballs or just a single shot barrier, since all the aliens were getting shot down by the turrets already. And I never figured out what speed did, unless having at least 1 of them speeds up your character's movement slightly. How many dudes does a house hold?\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Anyway, this is good. The cross between shoot-things-that-come-from-outside and building stuff worked well.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>ET SPACE ROK.
