That was totally uncalled for - it took all my best shooting just to shoot their bullets down, let alone injure them. Swines!

I ended up donating the requested £2.50. It got very easy toward the end, though, when I'd figured out the winning combinations. I enjoyed that. I ended up donating the requested £2.50.

But it works great as something for the enemies to shoot at instead of my Machine Gun. So I put one in the front and put all of its upgrades into more health. -The sniper gun is a nice alternate weapon. Because of the long load times, you don't need to interrupt your machine gunning too often to use it. It's nice for hitting the larger enemies.

I like the design though. I saw this a while ago on Brass Goggles and remember being frustrated about what I felt were accurately fired shots not hitting the target. I like the design though.

The turrets are hotkeyed 1-4. After a few rounds of efficient turret switching I got my head wrapped around the trajectory for the bog standard cannon. After that I've won the first and second campaigns with one cannon upgraded for power, a drone launcher with guns upgraded for quantity, the health tank and the power tank. My drones take care of the little gnat things (and sometimes the bigger threats) and my cannon is a one hit kill most of the time. Fun game once I got the hang of it.

Awesome game. I love the combination of twitch and planning, and the art direction. I second what Optimaximal said though. Dammit. I agree that it is a bit frustrating only controlling one turret at a time, however the game is probably balanced with that in mind. Personally though, I wouldn't mind having the other turrets be AI-controlled in exchange for harder/greater numbers of enemies at a time. I'm totally loading this up tonight while I wait for my laundry. This reminds me somewhat of a game called vectoid, although in that game, all the shooting was automatic, and you just focused on turret placement and resource management between rounds. I think that game was sponsored by Wrigley's or something. OMG, I used to draw stuff like this when I was bored in high school! Awesome game.

Otherwise it's great fun; although I too found myself wanting to play Netstorm after looking at all the available turrets.

I would gladly bring some of the guys repairing turrets up to fire them instead. I got the lightning gun and it fires extremely slowly. I guess the point is to get four of them. shrug The fact that I can fire only one turret is what makes it frustrating to me.
