What's the music that plays during the battles?
Sounds awesome :)

You're all overthinking the sniper rifle...just click directly on the target.
Great game!

-~D~-

Beat easy difficulty with little problem.

Got to level 10 on medium and got disgusted with the whole thing.

I beat it!!!

Sniper Gun is an *armor-piercing* weapon. Aim for the armor or metal parts of your larger enemies.

Most enjoyable. But now my whole arm hurts from clicking like a madman. So thanks, I guess!

Finished it today. Quite a fun little game. I’m looking forward to the next version

~My experiences with it~

I found myself using the standard heavy cannon and the machine gun for most of the game.

I tried using the sniper once and found it worse then useless. Probably user error, but I couldn't really work it out. Truth be told I fired it once and didn't seem to hit anything with it so didn't bother again.

The most enjoyable weapon was the Tesla-esc lighting turret

The damage turret was a worthwhile investment

I did used the heath turret, though didn't see too much healing going on and it was not clear how much effect it was having

I found this game highly entertaining, but a little grueling after a while. Never got around to beating it but I plan to.

Okay, from some experience... I'd have to say:

The Standard Heavy Cannon is decent, but if you must use it, keep it on top because the shells will pass through your turrets if you use the firing arcs well, so use it when enemies are flying near your units.

Sniper Cannon is crucial, get it early and level it well, and it will destroy many enemies in one shot. Long recharge time means you have to save it for the tougher enemies. It is tough, so keep it in front to soak up damage intended for your Machine Gun.

Machine Gun is crucial, too, especially once you get it leveled up quite a bit. It's very vulnerable to enemy fire, so keep it in the back.

Flak Cannon is pretty sweet, but usually only when you charge it up and arc it at maximum range so the shell-burst can cover more of your airspaces (and penetrate certain weaknesses).

Lightning Gun has incredible power, but also incredibly slow to recharge. Definitely save for when there's at least two tough enemies on screen.

The Damage Buff Turret seems... err.. Well, it seems its effect doesn't become apparent until it gets a few levels under its belt, but it is most apparently useful when you see your Machine Gun start really kicking ass.

If you see airships, the obvious weakness is their gas envelopes.

For anything with shells or bullets... when firing, remember to lead your targets!

I'm going all over it now!

I love it! It's a lot of fun. ok I have to get back to it...I've got it on pause.

Awesome!! I don't remember how or where i found this little game, just ran across it one day and thought how well it fit into the steampunk idea. Thanks Hero interactive for a fun little game and thanks Brassgoggles for all the awesome steampunk fun

Such a fun game- my favourite enemy is the airship pictured above. However, I find the sniping gun to be the hardest to aim by far.

Brilliant! So long productivity!

I beat it! :3

Hey, I made the game! All the thanks goes to mr. xenocryst (although I do thank him!).

There are definitely some shortfalls with StormWinds, that's why I'm making a much more kickass version aptly titled StormWinds 1.5 to be released in 3 weeks or so. I have more details on my blog if you're interested.

I love this site! I wish I would have seen it before for inspiration. What do you guys think would be cool to have for turrets or enemies?

Didn't i put that on the forums a weeks ago?

It doesn't matter. Fun game, and i'm glad it's posted here.
