In what way does your game fit the theme?
There are pylons which you must place down to survive and fire back, therefore you are "stronger together" with them
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I used the Brackeys "Audio Manager" Tutorial to implement sound, but besides that, it's all mine.

Nice game! I like the idea of only being able to shoot while in the circles. Like others said, it does seem a little slow, but that might be since I haven't played for too long.
A little hard to figure out at first, but it definitely has potential. Good Job!
The art is cute, the alien scenario is great and the sfx fit the game but it gets a little boring for a number of reasons. The player and the aliens move slow and the bullets are slow. A quick way to fix this would be upping the timescale. Particle effects, loud sfx after killing enemies and camera shake are always big factors in classic 2d shooter games. As mentioned by others, bigger bg music would make the game more fun, something chiptune or alien-like. A little more challenge with the aliens would also be nice, such as more bullets shot or faster bullet speed.
Despite all my ranting, I do find potential in the idea of being able to use only certain areas that you put down for firing. It's like a mesh of tower defense and shooter games, two very fun genres for me. Nice work!
Thanks for the detail in feedback! I'll be sure to consider this for future projects!
Great game! Though it could use some more background music to make it more engaging.
I would really appreciate it if you considered playing and rating m game too :)
Difficuld but good job
Looks good and plays quite well. I miss an option to pick up the pylons again.
Didn't really know what was happening, took me a while. The gameplay is fun once you get the hang of things.
A really cool looking game with a great atmosphere
I found it slightly hard to play but it was a cool concept
it is a nice game, congrats
Rated, If you can play my game and rate it, i will be very glad

LOVE THIS GAME!!!!!!!
Good job! Keep it up. I had trouble understanding how to play, but once I did it was fun.
Game needs more balance, and menu sfx are too crackling, but gameplay is fun and cool :) Music and art are suitable :) Gj!
If you played the browser version then that explains the crackling, I'm not sure what causes that.
Very difficult but fun
Awesome game! I want to make a game like this next!
Pretty nice concept, i like that you have many things going like oxygen level, jump tanks e.t.c. For me though, oxygen is going down too fast, you have to spend everything on it. Also I've encountered a bug with jump tanks, if you press it too close to the borders it throws you far away and you get stuck out of boundaries. Here is my rating.
I can see what you were going for there! Good idea with the economy system, and the movement felt neat.
I liked your game, it is complex and real fast to understand what to do. Good job !
Please vote for our game too :slight_smile: Thank you.

Real fun game!
Hey, the game is really cute!
I had fun defending my base from the goofy looking aliens.
My only remark is that the oxygen seems to deplete incredibly fast so I was using all of my resources to buy more oxygen.
