Canvas Defense

     My last post was about the new surge of HTML5 games that are now available. Since there are so many I thought I'd start posting reviews of different games I come across. The first of these is Canvas Defense.

     In this strategy defense game, your goal is to stop the red blobs from reaching the blue wall on your left. To accomplish this, you have four different unit types you can use to trap the blobs and to kill them. You have limited units in each level, and must survive for a given amount of time. Its a nice casual game to fill up a little spare time.

Playability: I couldn't get the game to work in ie9, but it worked in firefox 4, opera and in chrome. I experienced a little lag on the higher levels, but nothing too bad. 4/5
Appealing: This game has nice visuals and background music. 5/5
Fun: Its a short game, with only 10 levels, but requires speed and strategy to win. Some levels can be frustrating if you can't figure out how to win or use a given unit effectively, but overall a fun game. 4/5
