Update -- Version 1.4 has been uploaded. You can now submit highscores.

Instructions:
Your goal is to survive as long as you can while wave after wave of enemies attack you. Do not let your command center die.

As you progress, you will be confronted more and more with trucks that carry turrets on them. Foot Soldiers will also spawn at various times and they do not follow the path. As you play you will learn where they spawn from.

How to Play:
Arrow keys move the screen. You may also click on the minimap to move the screen.

Use the tabed menu in the bottom right to select units to build. If you have a unit selected, you may click anywhere on the HUD that is empty to deselect. Clicking on the middle tab opens up upgrade options. The third tab is intentionally left blank.

You can zoom in or out using the plus and minus keys on the num-pad or the plus or minus buttons on the HUD.

Strategy:
Some units can take more of a beating than others. Also, certain upgrades affect certain turrets better than others. Having the right balance is key to surviving the longest. Also note that all units fire upon the closest enemy.

"Good, but needs some work."

The enemy turrets do way too much damage, especially since you can't repair your towers. You should at least make those trucks give more money since they're actually damaging you.

"Its alright but it needs work"

date: March 9, 2008

Some ideas for improvement...
1)ability to unselect units
2)Repairable;e units
3)Mute option
4)alternative maps
5)building upgrades that branch out into other categories

some not as necessary ideas are...
1)a build map ability
2)variety of looks for you enemies
3)support buildings like
-buildings that enhance other building
-buildings or upgrades that increase income
4)building with special attacks (ie critical strike for a sniper post)
5)traps or obstacles (ie barbed wire or tank traps)
6) multiple enemy routes and/or splitting routes

I noticed the concept it no quite original but i like that you chose the a more realistic theme instead of ice towers and stuff like that. try some of this improvement as well as others peoples' good luck on achieving your goal.

Author's Response:

Thanks for your suggestions, many of them are already planned for the sequel.

you can unselect units by clicking on an empty location on the HUD. You can adjust the volume in the menu. And there are different maps for easy, medium, and hard.
