One day I hope to actually use all the skills I've worked on to make submissions, in the meanwhile, I'll just sit here and yell that other people's are bad.

The difficulty curve is immense, and, after a while I found myself only using Fire Wizards because they were the only ones with splash damage. Plus it was annoying that the upgrades for the towers only upgraded the damage, because the fact that you could only put the towers in set places meant that it was difficult to make good use of their ranges.
On the plus does, it does look nice, and it's fun despite being a little too hard.

Since this game also acts as a test to get invited to the Packed factory, we couldn't make it easy. That said, I think given some time and a bit of strategic thinking most people will be able to win the game.
As for upgrades only upgrading damage - you're completely right. I'm not a master at balancing tower defense games and creating a game with balanced upgrades that include range, fire rate, damage and special abilities was just too much for me. I'm sure other Packed users will do better in the future.
Good luck winning it using only fire wizards though - don't think that is possible :)

What an original idea! I love it! Really unusual and fun.
I look forward to seeing more stuff like this! Don't run out of brilliant ideas!

I actually have to give this five stars. Because it does exactly what a game is supposed to do. Which is be really, really fun! It's rare to find a game on Newgrounds which is this enjoyable to play.
The controls are simple, the graphics are effective, it's funny, original, and overall brilliant! I have no criticism! It even ended before it got boring.
I absolutely loved it.

I'm not into this kind of thing, really.. but it was addictive! Finally finished it after lots of mistakes. :P I'm glad you didn't put any 'action' in it, as people have been looking for, it seems. It was good without it. I'd like to suggest perhaps getting some more music for it. Maybe a song for each area?
Other than that, it's very well done. I enjoyed it.
Survived the day, saved my wife, A tactics and A+ compassion. Pretty proud of myself. :)

Well, this is obviously the greatest game ever made.
I have no criticisms. This is perfect as it is.

Don't get me wrong, I like arty games, but this seems a bit simple. Like you didn't put enough effort into the actual programming, just making it look nice.
Some of the sounds loop badly, the controls are a tad.. unrealistic, and the collision detection isn't great in places (No, I'm not stupid enough to think the bit where you fall through the platforms isn't deliberate. I'm talking about -other- platforms).
Other than that, it's a nice game. It looks good, there's some good ideas going on, and the plot is decent enough.
If you could work on what I mentioned, you could make this game a much more fantastic piece than it is.

I'm amazed that this got on the front page so incredibly fast.
I'd like to suggest some pointers for improving it, but it doesn't really seem like you need them..

That was an enjoyable experience.
The animation fitted the music well, although it seemed a little random at times. Perhaps if it were a little more in tune with the topic of the song?
Nevertheless, very good. A worthwhile prize for my time.

Brilliant short! Left me wanting more, though. If you could make a whole story like this, I know it would be fantastic. I love your animation, and I love the way you seemed to be mocking that it was 2D.
Overall, fantastic. If you cleaned up the animation and the fonts a little (only a little, mind, I like the rough feel, this would get 10/10.
