Skeleton Invasion is a tower defense where you must defend your castle from the invading skeletons.

You've got two towers at your disposal:
- the ballista, which shoots fast, but does low damage
- the cannon, which shoots slowly, but does more than 3 times the damage as the ballista

-------------------------Lore-------------------------------
You live in a peaseful country called Lumbria.
Your miners digged in a cursed ancient tomb, which caused masses of skeletons to wake up from their slumber.
These skeletons are not peaceful creatures, so they started attacking your miners. There was only one survivor.
That surviver managed to report the invading skeletons to you just in time.
Now it's up to you to defend your castle from the invading skeletons.

--------------------------Controls--------------------------

This was pretty nice, although a bit too easy. :)

the reset and next wave buttons are very close next to each other. I started the game, started wave 1, then unfortunately, I clicked the retry button. otherwise, nice entry (though I couldn't see the theme)

wave 14, no end in sight. they keep coming

i agree with pythong. I always have to be really careful regarding the buttons

I'm pretty sure those cannons miss sometimes, but maybe its just the animation :)

Thanks for the feedback!

@manabreak: didn't have much time for balancing unfortunately :(
@pythong & @mess110: sorry, I thought there was plenty of space between the buttons
@mess110: the waves are indeed infinite
@Shire: they do, which is on purpose :) (the cannonballs themselves are also slow, which I forgot to mention)

Will never get tired of TDs
I too clicked retry, but it was just my stupidity.
Nice entry!

It's simple and enjoyable. But... the theme?

A nice game. Fine graphics with solid gameplay make this game a good time. I would have liked some sounds. I assume it's intentional, but on the second wave, both my cannons, and my archer were hitting the bad guys 300 times over and they were not dying, weird. Keep it up!
