Hats on Clouds by Sibi

TL;DR
Build towers by going around the platforms (multiple times for upgrades)
Finish the race before too many enemies cross the finish line
Slow and steady wins the race ;)
Note: If WebGL version lags too much, just try the windows executable
Tips
- Be gentle with the turning and just tap it
- Go off the throttle a lot or even brake for corners / towers
- Try to master the first track before moving on to the second
- Avoid the enemies at all costs or they will spin you out
- Freeze towers early on really help
- Some strategy in where to place which tower might be required ;)
Description
In the year 2098, there is no human no more, there are only clouds with hats. You, Cloudius McCloudster, heir to the throne, have to fight the horde of evil hats! You have no other choice but to build your death bringing Towers - by racing! Build your towers, one after another. You can build and upgrade towers by circling the tower socket. Each round you can build more towers.
With three different types of towers, you can build a "perfect" strategy to prevent the horde of evil clouds with stupid hats to finish the lap and hurt you and your reputation.
The ice tower will spin your enemies around, preventing them to be as quick as you are. The fire tower will shoot an enemy and will let him (or her!) die in agony. The tower of doom will devour the souls of a group of enemies.
The main goal is to finish the race before you run out of life(s). If an enemy passes the finish line, you will lose a life. You die when too many enemies finish the race.

The idea is neat, level is nice and game actually plays well (once you get used to controls).
I hope you continue with the project.
