Great game! It's just that once you fill the cost line with artilery you don't really have to do anything.

How does your game fit the theme?
You'll have to use the calm time between waves to strategically place towers and prepare for the coming storms!
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, except for the font.

I didn't realize the storms only spawned out in the ocean at first and messed up all my placements but I suppose that makes sense! Second time went smoother haha.
I like the idea! You get to make an interesting choice - buy a one-time nuke or a permanent turret. Turrets seemed pretty weak, which was probably intentional. It's very difficult though, couldn't beat Wave 2.
First time I didn't notice the start wave button and nuked myself hahah. Nice concept, could be totally continued to a bigger game!
Really cool concept. I love the tongue in cheek tone of America trying to launch missiles at hurricanes. The gameplay was simple but still really fun . Would love to see some more interesting and unique turret types, and maybe a bit more variety in the enemy weather patterns. Really great work overall, especially for 1 week!
Pretty interesting tower-defense-like. My two complaints are:
- There's no descriptions for the units, so you have to buy them to figure out what they do
- There's no way to cancel a nuke launch
Fun interesting game here cool take on the theme and a tower defence first wave was quite difficult however after that got quite easy however great nonethless and nice simple artstyle and effects in there
Fun game! Reminds me a lot of some of the random flash games that would get popular in the past :D
Nice game! I really liked the combination of simple art and music.
From a game design perspective, the game stopped being a challenge for me after the second wave: I won by simply building up the coastline with guns. There was almost no need for other types of weapons.
The ending is funny. Thanks!
