while this game runs as it should and does what it needs i think the graphics well are to cheap looking as well as the models. It has potential but it needs a lot of cleaning up to do to make it more visual apealing

just my 2 cents.

always fun to see complete working games.

Nuke the Bots has been published and is for sale on Indievania.com as well as nukethebots.com!

Even very very bad Flash games are sold in Apple Store

So , no this is not a criteria for your game to be on showcase, sorry !
The UV texture on the cube is totally missed on the sides of the square pieces.
No work and effort on the sky texture, and no texture on some empty terrain.
It is finished and all gameplay is done ,ok , perhaps, but really, the graphics are just throw like that with any work,
I know perhaps your are programmer and not 3D artist ...
But well , personnaly i don't see it in Showcase, perhaps other people have other opinions ?

But good work , for finishing and selling game

If the game is well balanced and has enough strategical potential, I think its great.

The Artwork could be a bit more streamlined.
Keep it low Poly and Low resolution. But try to stick to
a common colorpalette for all elements.

(like 3 Main colors, and 2 subcolors + gradients between them)

Just tried the demo and gameplay wise the game is pretty good. What needs to be added though is that you see the (attack)range of a tower on the map before you build it (and not only in the tower description).

The problem with the genre tower defense games is that there are so many good free & great non-free ones, so the bar for quality is high. You only have to go to a site like Armor Games where there are many good tower defense games (e.g. Cursed Treasure to name one).

So I think your game needs some charm. As Damocles pointed out you need a common colorpalette (e.g. green, purple and gray colors for the aliens, blue and white for the player) and I think a better art direction. For instance you are on an alien planet, why not add weird and creepy alien-like plants? How about some more exotic weather conditions (acid rain, extreme winds etc.)?

Adding a more comprehensive story might also be worth it, with cutscenes or nice screenshots (& subs) between the maps.

I do like the gameplay this game has and it plays convenient, so I am curious if the game will be updated. If the game gets updated with the above mentioned points (or similar), I will probably buy it.

ps: speaking of colors, you should spice up your website for the game too.
