Once again I wasted a weekend for Ludum Dare and here is the result.

Coin carrying monsters are invading your homeland. Build towers, walls and self-aiming cannons to stop the flood of creatures. Don't let them escape!

As usual this is buggy as hell(it even crashes from time to time) and horribly unbalanced.

FUN! Hope you continue work on this. And oh yeah, it crashed every time i tried it, right around when I got ~100 coins each time (not sure if thats the reason).

It turns itself off? Fun game though :neko:

Crashing over here too, but it's quite entertaining right up until then!

It is kind of worrying that it crashes. I'm not really worried about this game, but for LÖVE in general; so far, I've seen LÖVE "crashing" several times, but it's always been error screens. A game that simply turns itself off should, optimally, not be possible. I am very curious how it happens.

love.physics. Possibly because two shapes are created in the same place, or because there a collision callback is called with a shape that was removed at some other point. Or aliens.

Yeah, you gotta be careful when using any physics engine, really. They don't call it the "ten-ton hammer" for nothing.
