+Tower types:
+Cannon tower

+Money tower (maybe?)

+Elements:
+
+Enemy types:
+
+Enemy behaviour:
+Will try to walk towards the end, attacks if it's impossible.
+
+Workers:
+Workers can crew a tower to make it significantly stronger, but they have to disassemble themselves into it and reassemble afterward, reducing your ability to adapt. (Other workers can help them, so having just one is pretty fast.)

+RECYCLE DEFENCE
+
+This is a free* tower defence. It is an action game, unlike most tower defence.
+In this game, you do not gain money for killing enemies, but your towers sell for 100% of their value. You must continually adapt your defence to counter the current wave.
+
+
+SOFTWARE, DEPENDENCIES, ETC.
+
+It's built using pygame, a simple SDL wrapper for python. It has no other dependencies that are not in python's standard libraries.
+
+*Free in both the sense of free speech and free beer, but purists of the former may take issue with the dependencies.
