Get ready to experience a revolution in tower defense that will send you spinning. Unstoppable Gorg challenges you to defend the solar system from fearsome aliens by sending satellites into orbit. Unlike other tower defense games, in Unstoppable Gorg you can move your towers by rotating the orbits that surround planets, moons and space stations.
Unstoppable Gorg is a lovingly crafted homage to vintage sci-fi films from the 1950s. Flying saucers, rubbery aliens, dodgy effects, it's got it all. The game's story scenes were shot on film using models, miniatures and live action actors and then edited together with genuine archive footage to create a classic sci-fi experience that is out of this world.
Features:
Take on the Gorg in more than 40 challenging levels of revolutionary tower defense action.
Satellites in orbit replace the towers and grid layout used in other tower defense games.
Move your satellites around their orbits to create the best defense for each wave.
Experience a thrilling story inspired by the classic sci-fi films of the 1950s.
Glorious 3D graphics and effects for added impact.

All that you can ask for a small game :D
kalil | April 22, 2012 | See all kalil's reviews »Funny ... addictive .. unique and very funny. The retro look is very well made ... play after you get to see Mars Attack and you will have made the afternoon. The mechanism is basic strategy, defence, defence, defence. But not least might like.
It is a somewhat repetitive game, but always looking how to get all the medals on each screen so there are many forms of play.
Do not hesitate .. if you have nothing to do this afternoon .. Play it!

Well done effort
Spattercat | April 21, 2012 | See all Spattercat's reviews »This is from the guys who made Shattered Horizon, and the same degree of polish and innovation shows. Gorg is a tower defense game of a different sort-- less about frantic management of resources, and building, and more about timing and approach. There are no sprawling mazes or traditional choke points to defend. Rather the game is built upon winding paths, spirals toward the center (home).
These orbits can be moved with a right click and drag functionality, and populated at predetermined points by your defenses. Different strategies will apply for different stages, and you'll need to balance your research, production, and manage the output to best effect even on the beginning maps. The game doesn't shy from being a challenge, but holding off the waves (and moving on to the next chapter) is more rewarding as a result.
Can't say enough about the cutscenes. They went to great lengths recreating the 50's B movies, with great scripting and hammy acting. It's an overall solid product that will challenge your mental and manual dexterity for hours, even for non- genre fans. If you like tower defense you'll either appreciate the innovations (+5 to the rating), or be frustrated til you decide it's worth the effort (-5?).

Terrific tower defense
pharaoh13 | April 10, 2012 | See all pharaoh13's reviews »I am not a huge fan of tower defense games, but the B-movie atmosphere was so compelling that I gave this a try and was glad I did. Great selection of defensive options and enemies, plus the best movie cut scenes I've encountered in a long time (awesome villains!). Game plays very well and can get very challenging in later rounds, and not just by throwing more and faster enemies at you. The trick of moving your defenses around in their orbits can keep you quite busy, especially when you need to avoid meteors as well as enemy fire.
