All placed towers are displayed here with the damage bars. Clicking on a tower gives you the choice between repairing, upgrading and wrecking the structure. The costs for each of these are shown below.

Hi......I have played the game. I think that it is a very special game. A special tower defence game! I also played several other entries of this jam. (In fact, I played many BASIC games on Itch.io!) DefCon is very different from the other entries. Why? It is because the enemies don't have fixed route(or routes).   However, this design is a really nice try!  Different from traditional tower defense games.

Another special point is that Defcon looks more difficult than other entries which I have played. At first, I thought: "Wow, why level one is so difficult?" Anyway, I was able to complete level one after some tries. 

Hi,

Thank you for playing the game and for liking it.

Once you have found the right tactics, it is very easy to get through to the end.

Hello!

"the right tactics" <=== The main point.
