The difficulty in the beginning was a little rough-- it seemed like it got easier as time went on and I couldnt find a way to not have to play  through the tutorial over and over when I first started and was learning the mechanics.

The random generation does create situations where it can be difficult to react though, so if this were to become a &quot;full game&quot; I think it might be worth bounding creature spawn and paths to have a bit more control over the difficulty.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>A bit slow to restart - possibly a bit laggy on my computer (?)

It might have been nice if the stones themselves had a longer cooldown instead of (or in addition to) the cooldown bar, so you'd have to hop around more, and maybe bide time while the Reds recharged.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>This game looked and sounded great, and had a good bit of strategic depth too.
