This was awesome! Combining Minecraft style resource gathering with tower defense is brilliant! Having a separate resource track to build and then staff the towers was a clever way to better control ramp up, but I noticed that when I didn't upscale my towers early enough I got outmoded, and then I couldn't take the enemies so I couldn't raise the gold to staff the towers so I could take the enemies, so I got stuck. I did make it to level 22, but when I couldn't stop the boss at level 20 I knew it was over. Is there a way to delete old towers, move recruits from one to another, or build a better tower over an old one? This is just great, though. And hell, a fully animated tutorial video? Amazing polish!

Polygon PandemoniumIt's a nice tower defense game, I have a few complaints, but that recruitment price goes up way too fast in my opinion, I wish the recruits had different looks instead of "This is the same guy but he has a different hat!" like how the cover image has unique looking characters. The game gets a bit boring after wave 20 and quite easy to just auto pilot past that point and lastly the player's movement speed is too slow to enjoy

GeomeTrick!I'm not sure why but the game runs awfully slow on my laptop. But I really like the idea and the music, too

A Slimy SituationDont really know if it's just me or is the game a bit too fast.

Dev_Dash();Hey, that was quite good ! I especially liked the chill atmosphere (honorable mention to the announcer at the beginning xD).
However, i don't know if i do something wrong but it feels overwhelming a bit too fast for me. I love tower defense games and usually it's a bit less brutal, but that's only my personal opinion.
That was a good game though, good job ! :)
