[FORTRAN forever]

...just in case they have access to these forums...

1) the game really, really needs an "Are you sure?" confirmation screen for the (R)eset command. I managed to press the "R" key once by mistake in the middle of a hard-fought battle only to have the entire game disappear/restart. AARRGGHH!!!

2) The "help" option ought to be in larger text on the start screen. I managed to miss that option for quite awhile and as a result (combined with the mistyped keystroke info below the playing screen) didn't realize that there was a Pause option for quite awhile.

Good game, but a annoying bug. Sometimes into the game you cannot build more towers. This usually happens between level 30 and 40. When this happens the game ends without the ending "menu".

I keep seeing the same issue as BirdBrain, nearly every game on Hard (i've seen it on lower difficulties, but less often) I run into the problem where I sell a tower to replace it with another, and I cannot build any more towers of any type. This is a game breaker, in my opinion. If I have to keep restarting the game because of a bug and not because I failed to play it properly, I won't play it anymore.

Please fix as quickly as possible and post an updated version.

Other than the bug, the game is beautiful. My only suggestion (maybe implemented in 2.0) is that when a tower is upgraded, change the art. It oesn't have to be a huge change, a shift in color or hue, maybe tiny incremental changes, and the final 5* tower looks like the awesome omega version they are.

Hi,

I directed the problem to our programmers and we're investigating this problem but couldn't reproduce it until now. Just played the game some minutes ago (only place 20 in the highscores on hard;-) but everything worked out fine. We keep watching it! Hmmm....Did you already try to update flashplayer to version 10? May be this will help? It's available at adobe.com

Upgrading towers: We're currently working on something (not exactly) similar, something that is hopefully not only looking but going to be "awesome omega"! :-)))

Nope, didnt have version 10. Upgrade seemed to fix it

EDIT: Upgrade didnt fix it, I think I have found what happens. If a spawn spawns through a wall into a closed area (E in the ASCII art) it goes up to the top left corner, when this spawn exits it is not possible to add more towers.
some ASCII art:

|T|
|T|E|T|
|T|

E=Empty
T=tower

Just played hard, twice the last (60th lot after the last bees) bugs, did not come out.
All the bees were killed and the clock ran down, game over.
