really really neat, the RTS aficionado in me really dug the concept, especially how it blends macro-control with micro-control.

the concept is very creative and fun! i ran into some troubles because i kept buying stuff and didnt place it cuz i didnt know i had to.

Loved this, I made one or two bad decisions in my first run and couldn't get back on top of it. When I retried though I made it pretty far. Well done!

Game is effective. I like the phase UI. I'd like to see enemies firing, and some explosions too !

I love the cycling through the phases. it gives a sense of urgency and is a cool mechanic!

Great idea and an interesting mechanic with the cyclic phases. The music was good and the gameplay felt quite smooth.

I sometimes felt like it didn’t quite shoot where I was pointing, I think probably because the rotation speed on the turret was slower than I expected, or maybe I wasn’t getting enough visual cues about where I was aiming.

Thanks!

Yeah, I added a maximum rotation speed to the turret so that it smoothly rotates, with the idea that maybe rotation speed could be upgradable. Though I never got to that so perhaps it should have just snapped to the mouse.

Pretty cool game, neat concept and executed well! Would definitely be nice to have a skip phase button (for the build phase at least).

Developer

Thanks!

Yeah it's something I considered but I couldn't think of an easy way to do it that didn't break the dynamic soundtrack

I love strategy/tactics games and it was a delight to play this game. I loved the cyclic phase mechanic. That was something entirely new and gave the whole thing an interesting twist to balance out the resources spend. Lovely!

Loved the music and graphics.  Fun cycling through the phases.
