Each tower has a unique fire pattern and colour modifier. Each colour modifier applies a set effect to the tower no matter what it does. Some modifiers are better on other towers. (See below for guide)
You gain two gems for every wave you complete. You may choose to sell these gems at the store (press 1) or you may choose to hold on to them (press 2)
Click - shoot
WASD / arrow keys - move
Space - buy tower
Enter - sell tower
E - merge towers
1 and 2 - sell gems at shop / skip shop

The buying price of gems is randomized, but they occasionally are given value buffs.
Merging towers requires two of the same tower (colour effects do not matter) and it will combine into a random tower from the next tier. The colour effect of the new tower will always be the same as the tower that you pressed E on.
Colour effects give a random extra effect to the tower (as described below). Each tier of the tower will cause the colour buff to be stronger.
Selling a turret will give you 66% of the combined cost of the turret back. Selling is mostly used for finding the optimal colour for your build.

Extra stuff:
For our fifth ludum dare we went back to our roots. The first game jam we ever did was a tower defense game, and it went terribly. But we're back and better than ever. Our team has grown in size by 2 and we have so much more experience. This was a super fun game jam to do even though we were a bit dead from university. Here's to many more Ludum Dares!Explanation of some mechanics (skip if you want to go in blind):
