I've been playing this game since yesterday. It's definitely the best flash game I've played in a while. If any of you ever played any of the starcraft "turret defense" UMS maps, this is pretty much just like that. There are different "waves" of enemies that come, following the path. Some are fast, some are slow, some are very numerous, some have a lot of health. You use various weapons to prevent them from reaching the end of the path, including gun towers, grenade towers, missile turrets, etc. You get money for killing enemies, and at the end of each round you get interest on the money you have. The object of the game is to get through all of the levels without losing all of your lives (you have 20). Every time an enemy gets to the end of the path, you lose a life. You can upgrade your units, as well as research technology to improve them. Certain units are better for certain things, such as the gun towers being fast and accurate but weaker, and the grenade towers being slower and less accurate but stronger and better at killing multiple enemies due to splash damage.
Anyway, try it out, it's a fun game. Feel free to post any strategies that you've figured out that work well, I'll probably post some of my own if enough people show interest.
There is a sequel, but I do not like it as much. They over-complicated the game by adding different resources for different types of weapons, which you have to mine with mines, and by adding other things like weapons over-heating so you have to place cooling towers near them, weapons running out of power so you have to place power generators near them, etc. I prefer the simplicity of the original myself.
