Addictive
I really like this game. This is quite easy, until you buy the mini-gun.
Then, when choosing "Continue" you continue from the final level, and without any gun upgrades.
Otherwise, an awesome game, sound/graphics was very good.

Fun But Too Easy
This game was fun, really fun. Only problem, it was too easy, and more expensive did not mean better.
Okay, it was way too easy, I had a single brush with death, and I still didn't fall below 20 life. I never bought a health upgrade (had to repair about 3 times though), never bought a rifleman, never bought a repairmen. I also only bought 3 guns, 1 of which was completely useless to buy. That brings me right into the next topic.
The guns, are, well, fun. I started off with the handgun, bought the AK the very next round. I continued on with the AK for about 10 rounds, bought the shotgun after that. I upgraded the shotgun fully, and it was by far the most beastly weapon in the game. I went ahead and bought the chain gun about 5 rounds later, and upgraded it over the course of the next 8. I quickly discovered; the shotgun was better, far better. More damage, cheaper to buy and upgrade, faster reload, faster shooting since it was in bursts, all around better. I ended up maxing out the chain gun reload and ammo capacity, didn't get enough money to get the $30k strength upgrade though. The chain gun felt like a big waste of money though, I ended up using the shotgun to complete the last couple of rounds.
Overall though, the game was fun, not wonderful. Very abrupt ending, great weapons and enemies though.

No Way to Keep Playing
It was one of the best defense games I've played, but the way to game suddenly ended, and i couldn't continue further, and upgrade my stuff further, made me get a little angry after all the "work".
Just freaking amazing
This game is quite fun. Not only you get guns as you obtain money, you can increase the potential of your gun, quite clearly awesome. The extra help with the rifleman penguin and the repairman, nice add. Really good graphics, the blood animation is also quite awesome. Its also kinda funny how some of the penguins just explode once they died haha. This game doesn't really get too repitive in a sense, since their are new penguins to shoot, and constantly having to upgrade the guns you bought, to make $money faster and complete the level faster. Very nice defence game, one of my favorites.
Also the music fits the theme kind of, I enjoyed it :). Not many cons, but lots of pros. The only thing I didn't like was price range for a other riflemen\repair penguin. Not only they are costly, it takes away my chance to upgrade my weapons. And since the waves get bigger, you'd think you need a helping hand once a while. Idk if you had a save option, but I dont think you had it, unless im mistakin. Anyways good game!
