Tarnation: Innovative pikmin-defense type flash game
« on: January 03, 2008, 11:36 PM »
This one is quite innovative, very well done, and reminiscent of one of my favorite cute games "pikmin".

Basically you must choose how many of each colored attack creature to create and send after the attacking enemies.  You have only a limited number so you have to carefully choose when and how many to create.

Pay attention to the tutorial controls -- i got stuck until i realized that the direction you use your mouse while selecting is what determines which color get created.

Very well done and nice to see some innovation here.

you can keep continuing a level until you beat it, no need to restart.
