An awesome twist on an arcade classic!

This is brilliant. Let's get a little bit more room to move around, whenever you do the sequel, and maybe some sexy powerups, and I think you'd have a real winner on your hands. :D

Sequel is going to be excellent. :}

So, I've been playing this addictively for the past couple of weeks, and I think I've finally mustered up enough rational comments to offer a review.

First, the game is great. I love the sci-fi, military theme, and your tower graphics and animations are very well done. There is a wonderfully satisfying sensation when you watch a flak tower rip through flying units, or when a couple of flamethrowers melt down an incoming wave.

The gameplay was also pretty solid. I love the big, open maps, and the use of natural terrain to help the player shape their mazes. Having dedicated "wall blocks" is a good idea, and one I think you could expand upon (perhaps by offering different larger pre-fab shapes at slight discounts or something).

And now, a handful of critiques, which I only offer because I think there's a ton of potential in this series. :D

First, there is sort of a lack of incentive/reward as you progress through the game. In other words, it doesn't really feel much like you're actually getting anywhere, it just feels like wave after wave of the same stuff.

The boss ships help a little bit, but I think that there are more ways to really make the player feel like they're actually getting somewhere. I have a handful of ideas of my own, but I'm sure you can also muster up some creative solutions. :}

Second, the terrain graphics and the ship graphics don't seem to measure up to the impressive tower graphics. Again, I can only make this critique because your tower graphics were so good, it makes the other graphics seem just a little bit weaker in comparison.

Anyway, critiques aside, this is a great game. I find myself opening up Firefox just to come play through the game again, and I'm dying for a sequel! :D

Brilliant storytelling, without a single word.

If I vote 10, I will be heard.

If I vote 0, I will be noticed.

If I vote reasonably, I will be ignored.
