Great Tower Defense Game on Canvas

Very nice game, but a little basic. Some enemies seem to behave differently (vulnerable to different weapons), although there is no indication with color or shape. A minor bug: Once you click on a unit to build, you can't change your mind and "unselect" it anymore, forcing you to build that even though clicking it could have been a mistake.

Also it's a bit annoying that if you want to build the same unit type multiple times, you have to click on it every time again. Keyboard shortcuts 1-4 to select each unit to build would be great. Another shortcut for upgrading and selling, and the game would be a lot more usable and fun to play.

Still, quite addicting game! :-)

Hmm, the graphics part works smoothly for me, but it seems to be dropping input events. Attempting to upgrade a turret when there's a lot of action happening on screen requires clicking a bunch of times before it finally registers. (Chrome 9.0.572.0)

Wow! I'm surprised by the framerate, I'm getting ~50 in Chrome.

I really didn't think these sorts of speeds were possible using Canvas, especially when you're completely redrawing the screen each time.

For what it's worth, I unminified the source (from frozendefense.compressed.js) and posted it as a github gist. It makes it easier to peruse.

After playing around a bit, I suddenly got an error message:

"This Account Has Been Suspended"

Is this a bug, or some kind of procrastination prevention?

I never thought I would ever see these words:

Works best on Google Chrome or IE9 Beta

Note: Emphasis is on IE9.

This was incredibly well done, but it appears that the webhosting account was just suspended.

Amazing performance. If it had a button to manually trigger the waves instead of sending them off automatically (allowing me to rethink things more), my afternoon would be gone now.

Pretty cool - could definitely use some more work - but still well done. (Got a copy of the html from Google cache, and the javascript from the Gist posted in this thread.)

The targeting seems off. I expected the towers to attack the enemies furthest along the path, but it seems like they might be attacking enemies closest to them.
