If you are over 25 and own a computer, this game is a must-have.
...No, JK.

Hi guys!!!!!!! This is my entry for this amazing Ludum Dare!
It was really hard to make it in 3 days, felt like I only had 10 seconds to finish it (AH! GOT IT?!?!?)

Anyway:

THE FUTURE OF THE COUNTRY IS IN YOUR HANDS.
STUPID ENGINEER IS THE ONLY HOPE FOR HUMANITY.
DEFEND THE BASE FROM THE INCREDIBLE AND "HURR-DURR" ENEMIES THAT ARE COMING OUT OF NOWHERE.

GET IRON FROM KILLING ENEMIES AND BUILD UP TO 9(!1!) BUILDING.
It's an arcade game, there's no end.

Bye bye xoxo.

CHANGELOG:
Fixed a bug that prevents bullets to do their real damage after a short period of time.
Fixed some crashes after clicking "Retry"



Except some bugs.

Very nice game, it may become a bit easy with too many turrets, I'm currently in an auto-winning position where my 50+ turrets are taking care of everything before they appear on screen and I'm behind safe with my iron generators x) Nice art, great music, much enjoyable :p

Absolutely fantastic. Art is top-tier, mechanically very sound. Love the crunchy sound effects. Upgrade loop on the defences is quite nice, but you can get OP far too fast!

This is the 3rd game I've played so far. A high bar has been set.

Fantastic, the only crit I could offer:

-Getting iron manually stays very risky throughout. Some sort of magnet or method for healing would have been neat.

-The "Score" seems a little redundant, as it ticks up but not in seconds. A "survival time" or getting points for iron collection might make it more enticing.

-Game becomes extremely easy as nothing can challenge a relatively early turret wall in to devastators, despite the wide variety of enemies. Something with turret resistance I have to manually hit, for example.
