This game rocked! Couldn't stop it until i finished the last level. The characters, the voices, the deadly machines... everything on its proper place.

I'm really looking forward to take a peek at your source code. I'm sure I can learn a few tricks from the maker of Overlap2d. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>On my first try one of the fanatics got stuck in the middle of the path. There was nothing in the way or anything everyone else passed him, but this guy was just jittering to an fro. So I couldn't finish the level. \r<br\/>So I restarted the game and I played to level 3 where the same thing happened. I already reached the goal so the towers were no longer firing. So again I couldn't finish the level because one guy was stuck.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>But still I liked the game. It is quite polished and the art style is very nice (I especially like the intro screen). The music is a bit annoying with the &quot;gospel&quot; but it fits the game well.
