Well, I tried the protoype.
It's not too bad. It'll be cool once you get most of the main features done.
I think the way you have to move your tank is confusing. Maybe try something more conventional, like using the arrow keys (to rotate and move the tank), or M1 to make it move towards the cursor ? Dunno.
Also, I made a small tower defense-ish game for a christmas contest, so if you need some advice on the mechanics...

The tank could move a little slower in my opinion. Also, the menu looks horrific. Mostly because of the gta-ish font.
The graphics look cool, thumbs up for that.
Also if you ever need some music, I'm happy to help.

Menu buttons are placeholders until I can design good ones
Tank is fine imo, the more bugs you kill, the faster the bugs will become so the tank's speed shouldn't be nerfed.
and you could try designing some menu music or in game music. It needs to have a good tempo and be of the genre of the current music though.

The game was a lot more fun than I expected, I hope you continue to work on this for a while.
I would add something that indicates how many credits you have as soon as possible.
Also, I think the enemies look more cockroaches or beetles than any kind of arachnid. Maybe you should name the game something less specific like "Arthropod Invasion". Then you would have the largest phylum in the animal kingdom to base enemies off of.
How will multiplayer work?

I am going to continue working on this, don't worry. I don't abandon my projects immediately. Probably after I hand in my work next week I'll continue development since my friends only game positive reactions about the game. The current alpha I'm working on has local highscores based on many bugs you kills, not credits since you spend those. Multiplayer would be two tank mode. Local multiplayer would be one tank steering with the mouse, the other with the arrows keys/wasd. This limits movement for the second tank but gets compensated by the fact that he has to pay less for turrets/future unlocks. Online multiplayer would be two tank mode online. Probably far too complex since I've never done networking... and idk man, arachnid invasion just sounds a bit cooler  Anyway, future plans More bugs (queens, small bugs, sentry killer bugs) More unlocks including bombs, temporary roadkills, speed dash boosting etc) Dat multiplayer |

Also I'd put up the new beta with redesigned menu buttons and highscores but I broke the credits system and now it makes your credits instantly 0 if you buy a turret
and I can't seem to fix it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Put 'show_message("Beginning of buy event: "+string(global.credits))' or similar everywhere. Step 1 of debugging is isolating the bug.

This is actually pretty fun. Yeah a credit meter would be nice and maybe a reticle. Good luck man.

Did you think of increasing the spawn rate of the bugs instead of/as well as increasing their speed?
Also splash weapons?
