I couldn't figure out how to do anything other than watch my towers get 
overrun.

Most woer defense games I have played are based on maze-like passages. 
This free-form open-space layout can be interesting, but as it is now it 
is over way to fast. It should start out slow, and only get harder 
slowly.

Also, it looked to me as if all the towers had unlimited range. I think 
limited range is a pretty important gameplay element for a tower defense 
game.
