I hereby present our latest endeavor in ridiculously rushed games. We started it last friday, it ain't finished, but we're happy that it at least isn't crashing every 5 minutes anymore.
Box Rush is a tower defence game, there's not too much to differentiate it from other tower defence games apart from perhaps the amusing names, and a kickass sound track. The rest of the cool "lets make it different" features had to be cut due to us starting on it so late.
Oh, and it's not really all that particularly balanced either, but have fun! ;)

That's actually pretty cool, Evil Toaster!
I enjoyed playing it, it looks good, the music is very nice indeed, and the names are indeed amusing - as, for that matter, is the concept of defeating wave after wave of incoming terrain...
I like this - well done. ^_^

WOW. Really nice touches. I love the whole menu system, it works really nicely. I found the sound track to be quite catchy as well. Good going man! It seems you have an efficient team, getting all this done in so little time.
The gameplay was pretty straight forward and easy to grab, although it needs more to keep me hanging on.

Try finishing the game with the least possible turrets... I can manage 2 ;)

Haha! Yesss! :D I managed with 2 towers. Silly me, I overlooked the upgrades for the towers and heros, I take back what I said earlier - it was damn fun trying to get it done with as few towers as possible - the game takes more of a puzzle style in figuring out where to place towers for best efficiency, what upgrades to use and when to use them. I think this game would be really fun if it gave the player challenges such as dislekcia just gave.

Another challenge!
Kill all peasants as close to the entry point as possible.
I managed to finish without any peasant getting further than the second block.
Can anyone manage a single block (or less)?

Your toasted engine's doing you big favours now, ET :)

I've managed the "two turrets" challenge, as I recall, and I think that I came close to managing the "no peasants past the first block" challenge, but failed due to a hero taking just a little too long to upgrade - I plan to retry that strategy, however. in the hopes of upgrading the hero more quickly. ^_^
I wonder whether it's possible to complete the game with only one turret...? I've tried, but thus far haven't succeeded.
How about a precision challenge: intentionally letting nine and only nine peasants through (leaving you with only one life left at the end).
(I haven't yet tried the challenge that I give above, so I don't yet have a report of success or failure.)
