Fun game, does get a little overwhelming in terms of difficulty rather quickly though

Submitted

game is FUN the only reason why i quit playning after ~45 minutes is that the "simple requests" and "haking requests" are to many, to fast.... (or this is just a skill issue)

^^

Great game! The whole style is very fun, and i love how every tower feels unique and can be used so differently. Load balancers were the only tower that confused me slightly, but could definitely be built upon. Would love to see this game continued!

The game design is very nice, both because of the strategy of the interaction and because of the different possible actions.

The strategy is really fun, wish I could build out forever. The concepts of the enemy and tower interaction are really cool. It'd be cool to eventually be able to copy paste structures and have combination synergies.

Great game, I liked it alot. Well executed tutorial and solid gameplay. I would have liked some more money, atleast after the tutorial. So I could really scale my server cluster.

The firewall could maybe benefit from a smaller defence and not protect so far out? I had a hard with the timing of moving it to protect the cluster. The big range of the firewall made me feel like I should stop all "red" requests. A smaller wall would maybe not imply that I could.
This is just nitpicking on a great game.

Good job!

The "node" physics make this such a well made tower defense game. I just REALLY wish I had more money so I could build larger, more strategic structures. Maybe you could balance giving more money by making waves harder.  So much potential on an already very solid game, awesome job!

I liked it a lot, it's fun to play around with for ages, I would wish for a better explanation of load balancers

I liked it! You can definitely build off of this concept further to make it more interesting. I liked the firewall a lot! Gave me a sense of control for the first time, would like to see that explored more. Fun little game thank you for making it!
