#3Wow! 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.

In Firefox it always reported >40 fps, however I could see that it was dropping massive amounts of frames, to the point where creeps would be coming in the entrance and then be halfway across the screen.

Pretty awesome for 1780 lines of code. Especially when 250 of them are just the maps.

#6Hmm, 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)

#7I never thought I would ever see these words:
Works best on Google Chrome or IE9 Beta
Note: Emphasis is on IE9.

Ditto for Firefox 3.6.12.

#9Amazing 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.

#10Very 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! :-)
