Really poorly designed game, unfortunately. Very cool graphics and a lot of effort was put in - but the fundamental game design is just bad. You have no real choices, and there is only one path and gameplay style that can be successful.

***UPDATE 04.08.2K5
IMPORTANT: Stage-2: If you buy a new unit and already have 3 units installed on the side - it's icon wont be highlighted, this is not a BUG, u cant install more than 3 units per side, just remove the old one to install the new! Also if Fusion Power plant is not installed - tier-4 units will NOT BE HIGHLIGHTED!! I'm going to fix this thing so that you'll see a message saying why the icon is not highlighted!
***UPDATE 03.08.2K5
NEW VERSION 1.1 !!! FIXES:
- I've fixed that "zergs close to the walls cant be hit problem", there are no enemies impossible to hit right now!
- Fixed Easy mode: now u get 3 land mines at stage-1 and u get 2 land mines and + 1 nuke at stage-2 !

Wow!! Frontpage!!! Thanx 2 ng staff =)
I didn't wasted all the time I spend on this project after all =)
***UPDATE 01.08.2K5
1) You say some zergs cant be hit as they go too close to the wall - THIS IS NOT A BUG, you cant kill all of the enemies. The game was tested and balanced considering those, if u lose - read "why do i lose" topic in the HELP&FAQ section!
2) About the advanced menu: what u see when u enter this section is the seal! you need to know the right combination of runes to unlock it. (there are cheats behind it =)
Here is another starcraft based game =) I spend quite a lot of time on this one!
There are 9 unit types, 16 enemies (including the BIG boss in the end of stage 2); 2 stages, 18 wave per each and a secret menu with cheats =))
*IMPORTANT*
- This game requires at least 2Ghz CPU to play on high quality! If you have less than 1.5 Ghz dont bother trying!
- This flash resolution is 800x600 so i recommend 1152x864 screen resolution or at least 1024x768
- If you have any questions about the gameplay or keep losing all the time, go to HELP&FAQ section before asking me or writing about it in the review. I tried to explain all the features of gameplay there.
- This is a beta version. Though it had been tested by me and my friends I think that there are some bugs left.. so if u find bugs or errors, please, write in the review about it. I'll try to fix them.
1. I don't see why this is in RTS when it's clearly Tower Defense.
2. I don't see why the controls have to be so convoluted. (Click buy, click unit you want, click Unit, click the unit you want, click buy, place it, click to build or destroy. I mean...seriously?)
3. For being the first mission, it's insanely difficult. You only have one tower to defeat the Zergs with and you cannot do it placing it regularly. You have to move it around, which involves reacting rather quickly with said convoluted controls by disabling your tower, clicking it, moving it, clicking again, and clicking build, rather than a simple drag and release. Also it doesn't fire between the times you're doing all this, so better move fast.
Truly, why are such simple controls and mechanisms made to be so complex?
I'm not a fan of StarCraft, but I know how insanely popular it is. The best thing about this was probably how wonderful the graphics were done. Everything just seemed so dazzling. It didn't make much sense on how to play the game in the tutorial. Yeah, skipping that was a bad idea. Still, everything else is done very well.
It's great to hear this awesome music. I imagine it's loyal to the original games. Maybe if I was Korean, I'd be more into this, lol (I'm not racist, it's just a joke). You give a nice sense of being in a crazy world. I just wish I could understand it more.
Dude... come on...
No creativity. You can only have 1 of each "tower" so I don't really see any skill involved. I don't see how you can get very far. I can't believe people can really see this as a good game. Like I said... more creativity. This is so damn restricted. Make it more like a real TD game. Btw starcraft is a great game and you put it to shame. :P
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
PLAYGUU!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH PLAYGUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!! YAA, PLAYGUGA!!! PLAYGU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Good game! :D
