might be a R, but I did search.

Much much better graphics than most TD games, but the gameplay... eh.

Pretty hard, b/c the map is short, the towers have very short range and the creeps don't give a lot of money.

Worth a fling I guess.

Quick tip, go with the gats at first, more is better than upgrades, at least initially, then diversify your towers after the first few waves.

OK, I seriously cant do it.
I tried making lots of towers and spreading them around.
Tried making one tower and upgrading it a lot.
Doesnt matter what I do, I lose at least one life every round, sometimes 5. Am dead after a short while.

It's hard. Waaaay harder than any TD I've tried. Best I've done is level 26. Again, you don't get much money for kills, towers and upgrades are expensive and ranges are really really short.

What I've figure out so far - Start with 2 gats at the two U turns, upgrade at least one with damage. Should be good for two waves or so. You won't get enough money to buy one stinking tower... but, from there, look at the info for the next wave, then buy or upgrade the best tower based on the tips button.

opened the page and I see nothing but a big black spot between the borders, imagine something is supposed to be there.

This game reeks of the devs play testing way too much as they went along and built the game based on how they were playing.

Its waaayyy to tricky for casual play.

it takes a long time to load

Almost 10 minutes for me...

Wow so the devs put out a tower defense game based on SC2? That's pretty cool!

And yes very hard to play :( Do those freezing towers actually do anything? It seems like the units behind the one that gets the freeze end up pushing the frozen one back up to speed.

Way too hard, I can't avoid losing a life on round 1 on medium / hard modes unless I use the initial money to buy a laser tower (in which case I'll lose the life on round 2).

Seems rough balancing anti-mechanical towers with regular towers.

it was just too many marines on 35, had only leaked 14 up to that point. Guess I needed more lasers.

Yeah, there's one point where you're screwed if you don't have at least three quad lasers up.

Ugh. Range is not necessarily your friend. Sniper/missile rounds cancel in-flight if their target is destroyed, and with all towers aiming for the frontrunner, that happens a lot if they can all reach him. I think I might leave some sniper towers at level 4 rate-of-fire instead of upgrading them to 5 so the shots are staggered. It's only a difference of 0.05 dps per dollar.

what's the "devastate" button?

There we are again. A little comeback here with a new update on the Tower Defense. As you can see we have a new GUI/HUD and another new function (requested by the community): The “Devastate” Button. This helps you defeat a chosen unit. For example if a unit with 20 hp is escaping and another unit has about 2000 hp the towers may shoot at the 2000 one. With the devastate button (which requires some kind of micro) you can force your turrets to kill this unit. This unit will be literally devastated by all towers in range. You can also just double-click the unit instead of pushing the “devastate-button”. There are also some balance fixes and engine updates. So enjoy the new Update and feel free to give us feedback in the forum.

It doesn't work for me. The button does nothing when I push it.
nevermind, it seems to only work with the sniper tower for me

btw does building more than one freeze tower stack effects?

Only towers in range will focus on the target.

Does the volume control work for anyone? I've tried turning it down/off, but the new games seems to start at full volume every time.

Just hit level 45... dayum this is hard
I found out a new trick...
built LOTS of freeze towers ALL OVER
Don't upgrade, it's not worth it. Freeze towers by themselves are very cheap.
