I think this came out pretty well... I hope you guys enjoy it. (Sorry, no preloader)

Mouse - Aim and Shoot
Space - reload

there's an in-game help screen and quality and volume can be set in the options menu.

UPGRADES AND WHAT THEY DO

Damage - increases the damage your projectiles do to tanks, helicopters ect.
Fire Rate - Increases the speed at which your gun can shoot
Blast Radius - Increases the explosion size, the larger the explosion, the easier it is to hit soldiers
Max Health - increases the max health of your base
Muzzle Velocity - Your projectiles move faster and farther, but it makes it harder to hit infantry
Max Ammo - the maximum number of bullets your gun can hold
Reload Rate - the speed at which your gun reloads, higher = better

TURRETS AND WHAT THEY'RE GOOD FOR

Minigun - Amazing against infantry, a must have, but terrible against any kind of vehicle.
Rocket - Good against light vehicles like helicopters, decent against infantry
Laser - Obliterates everything, good fire rate, good damage.

HAVE FUN!!!

PS. Try and ignore the terrible hit testing, I'M WORKING ON IT!

EDIT: FIXED!!!!!!!!!! HitTesting works now!

"Fun and innovative"

date: May 7, 2009

Graphics:
The graphics were well done with a bleak feel to it with you focusing on the darker colours and shades. Everything that you had made in this game looked really professional and simply beautiful to look at.

Gameplay:
This game had a wide range of enemies and upgrades for the gun and your base. Since there were no set breaks, this gave the opportunity for the player to choose whenever he felt like pausing to get repair or upgrade whatever they felt like. The range of upgrades altered the way it worked with it sometimes having it's fair share of ups and downs because you would use your knowledge on how to use the weapon efficiently. The other base defenses were also very good and really helped destroy enemies and rake up some cash.

Sound:
The music for this game was well suited and helped add to the theme you were working with for this game. There were also spectacular sound effects that made the game feel real and alive.

Overall:
This game was a fun, original classic that had a wide range of enemies and options. I really enjoyed this game overall and will be hoping to be seeing a variety of games coming in the near future.

"Pretty good but can improve"

date: March 30, 2009

I've noticed a couple of weird things that will sometimes happen... Sometimes, I won't be able to open the sub-menue for the mounted guns. When this happens, I am also able to open the upgrade menue multiple times and must open it until it opens it's maximum number of menues and then I can buy the mounted guns.

Also, sometimes the enemy I'm shooting at isn't the one taking damage. This has actually lead to my defeat a few times as the enemy that is shooting at me isnt being hit and therefor is able to attack me continuously. Both of these seem like pretty major glitches to me.

Last but not least, this game is fun early on but hits a plateau. I like having an endless game but it is also nice to have a goal of some kind. Also, once you get max upgrades, there is no challenge. The only way to die is to do nothing while being completely bombarded by enemies... But then you're never hit with that many enemies. In future versions, you might consider making it so more enemies appear together once you've been playing so long or have defeated so many enemies.
