Currently the game is unfinished but playable. There is now a link to a doc containing some of the design concepts and experimental ideas we were considering.

The sound effects were a bit too loud and drowned out the music, but the music decided to stop anyway. Otherwise, the sound and music are pretty good.
The graphics are decent, but they are a little incongruent. I love the way the buildings look, and the ground looks reminiscent of the ground tiles of old, but they don't exactly compliment each other or the gun towers.
This game is a pretty fun Missile Command clone with a few differences, however, it completely misses the theme.
In regards to the theme, we originally wanted to make it so that bunkers, turrets, and other structures could be built into the ground (which would expand the screen and create a surprise scroll bar in the process). Unfortunately we ran out of time in our endeavor and the only hints of the theme are the title, the destructible dirt, and an unused HUD in the foreground.
Really awesome! I love how it feels like the missles are anticipating you. I don't *think* they are, but it sure feels that way. If it got harder as you progressed, and had an ending, I'd play this a bunch. :)
my missiles were a little unpredictable, sometimes going a bit further than the cursor and sometimes just continuing on without detonating, not sure if this was by design.
Good job on this. I agree with the others that the enemy pathing was the best part. Even if there wasn't an end, it would have been nice to see points or something.
Cool bgm, but the SFX were a little loud. I love missile command, so thought this was cool, though not very relevant to the theme. The unlimited ammo and rate of fire made it very easy, I purposely let myself die a few minutes in and even with two layers of dirt gone didn't get a lose state. I assumed that was a glitch or the game was unfinished.
Nice take on missile command. The difficulty ramped up really quickly! (Or maybe I'm just really bad at missile command) The "hopping" missiles were pretty cool, but a huge pain to hit.
A nice old-school style game! The sound was kind of annoying, and the music a bit repetitive. It also doesn't suit the theme very well besides the name. The main problem was that the missiles would often not explode exactly where I clicked, and would sometimes completely fail to explode and just keep going into the sky. However I really liked the look of the game and the way the incoming enemies would change paths.
Nice game with good sound effects. The moving patterns of the attacks are great and making the game more challenging. But something seems to be missing, what I don't know. With some more work this could be an awesome game.
