The CIA has been tracking an organization called The Enemy, headquartered in the Siberian tundra. Attempts to disarm them have failed, as their control towers are centered inside complex puzzles. Use the stationed turrets to manipulate the objects around them and eventually enable them to shoot each control tower.

Analyze the layouts carefully and select the best course of action which will eradicate The Enemy's plan to melt the Siberian ice! Beware, as The Enemy's puzzles get increasingly complicated as you move from Area to Area. Are you up to the challenge?

Great puzzle game, I like the concept and execution. The graphics are also pretty good.

I'll give it an 8/10

Hi,
Nicely made game, with some tricky puzzles once it gets going.
It rather reminds me of Laser Tank, although your obstacles are different and the turrets don't move (so not really the same at all rolleyes.gif )
The game description could be a bit clearer, but the first levels soon show you what to do.
How many levels are there altogether? As I would like to add a review of the game to my web site and it may take me a while to work through all the levels.

Pretty nice game! I played until area 19 and then i really got bored. Could use some extra background/menu design/effects improvement, but still really nice. The puzzles were too easy at first, but they got pretty tough at 15. Still, nothing impossible.

Good work on it.

There are a total of 21 areas, the last being the most difficult.

Wow, you must be quite the puzzle-solver, I know a lot of people who couldn't pass #10 smile.gif

Extra backgrounds probably would have been a good idea, sorry I didn't think of it.

Thank you for your comments, I appreciate them. smile.gif

I love this game, and have been playing it for ages. It's very hard, but I'm nearly there. smile.gif

EDIT: Completed it smile.gif It was brilliant.

Very nice game! Nice story also, with the messages in between the levels. Very well polished. And nice graphics overall, everything fits together.
And good level design, I have completed missions 1 - 16 so far and got stuck at 17 but I'm going to try to finish that one too. Frustrating when I know "I have to do this and then finish off with this cannon" but don't get to do the thing I thought out. Anyhow the levels are really good.


Edit: I'm at 19 now biggrin.gif
Edit: man 19 is a strange level tongue.gif
Edit: game complete biggrin.gif Cool game, although the last (21th) level didn't seem too impossible compared to levels 19 and 20. I had three hits quite fast, only doing the fourth hit took a while and even worse, I didn't need the part I thought was so well thought out (the top left). But nonetheless very cool game! smile.gif

biggrin.gif awesome game.
I finished in about 1.5 hours on the first try... 21 minutes in the second.
9/10
-0.5 because of the interface; I kept right-clicking to try and turn a turret and left-clicking to fire.
-0.5 because of graphics.

I agree. The last level was easier because everything was separated (like 4 mini-levels). One group of mirrors hit the target one way, another group of mirrors hit it another way (I messed up on the top-left corner once, though, because I didn't realize how that brick wall needed to get into the gap. I used that corner to break the ice, which proved to be a fatal mistake). Level 20 was mildly easy... level 19 was extremely hard though. I spent about 10 minutes thinking on how I could push that one mirror down a square.

That happened to me too, but the link for downloading is here. I believe this also works for every other game on Yoyogames (replacing the 'show' part of the URL to 'launch').

I really enjoyed this game. Keep up the good work! smile.gif
P.S.- Also, I noticed something weird when regarding the storyline. You're supposed to stop the Enemy from melting the ice, but in the end, the master control tower thing explodes... right on top of the ice.

Heh, that went past me completely... well pretend the laws of physics were suspended for that exact moment. =p

Just a heads up for everyone, this game's sequel, cyberTurrets is out now with 25 brand new levels. This time The Enemy decided to hack into the CIA's mainframe. With quality graphics, unlockables (including the cool Endurance minigame), ranks, and more, you won't want to miss it!
