Bug report and feedback
As this is a freeware product I don't earn any money from this, thus I don't have the resources to test it on a large range of computer configurations. I need your help to make this game as stable as possible on as many different computers as possible. Please tell me of any bugs you should find, and as you do tell me what your computer configurations are. Tell me even if you don't find any bugs, it's just as important to know what configurations the game works on.
And of course tell me what you think of the game. Your feedback will inspire me to write new and better products.
If the game doesn't work for some reason, please run the game once more with the command line option "-log", then send me the "tower.log" file that is created in the install directory. It will help me identify the possible cause of the problem.
