And it's weird how the towers pop-up out of nothing.\r<br\/>Maybe you could add some more feedback like the attackers get red when lose health and when a new tower gets born.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I really liked your game, the art style is simple but great! The background music id good but a bit low to hear and when you have a lot of towers shooting the sound of then shooting becomes annoying.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Hope you guys continue this games, it could become awesome!!"},{"author_name":"stargardengames","author_uid":"61161","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 12:07pm","epoch":1450267320,"text":"Love the &quot;breeding&quot; mechanic!

At first the game seems too hard until I understood the growing system. Except that I never managed to mix shapes and colors properly.

Do not simply build towers. No!\r\nTowers that are built next to another tower will reproduce, making it cheaper to defend your base.\r\n\r\nThey breed according to genetic rules (https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mendelian_inheritance).\r\nShapes work like blood types: (A, B, 0) -> (Triangle, Square, Circle).\r\nColors are codominant, so colors mix.\r\nThere is a gene that suppresses colors which is dominant. If you upgrade your towers, it\u2019s recessive version will disable that effect.\r\n\r\nWe wanted to try something different. We think the growing of towers is really fun.
