I'm glad somebody made a RTS game, and a fairly decent one, with all the basic variations. I think the melee/ranged bar is inversed at the barracks, but other than that no complaints, only fun! Loved the twist lol.

Thanks ! Yea for some reason I thought I wouldn't have time to make a game over / victory screen so I just had the game close. Big mistake. Thanks a lot for your feedback !! :)
The music ? There is no music... not sure what you mean by that.
It "crashes" when you win or lose, actually. The connection to the theme is that the game misleads you - it encourages you to strip mine the map as coldly and efficiently as possible but that only hastens your death - the "corruption" that comes in fact depends on how much Equirium there is left on the map. As such you can completely avoid it if you're patient ! Just gotta let the metal regenerate regularly, sort of lay the mines "fallow".
A simpler interpretation of the theme is the lie about the game's difficulty too. At first it's really easy, the natives don't attack you. All you (think you) have to do is just taking the map over and win. The corruption puts that notion under the ground.
Thanks a lot for your feedback, and for playing ! :)

You... won ? I didn't expect any tester to have the patience to win. I'm honored you'd spend 2 hours of my time on my game ! And yeah, sorry about the lack of Game Over / Victory screen, didn't really have time (could have made something really simple I guess).
I hope this victory surrounded by hearts : <3 VICTORY YOU'RE THE BEST YAAAY <3
is sufficient replacement.

Will do ! I'll be streaming during the week to test games, you'll be able to find my stream thread on the forums. More likely I'll test your game during the stream if you post it in the list, but I'll try to think about it either way. Thanks for your feedback !

Hey there ! Thanks a lot for playing my game, I know it's hard to get into.
Interesting you say that about the tutorial - before I shrunk it down to its current size it was a novel, but very precise. People have been telling me it's still too long and complicated as it is, but I guess it really depends on the audience I'm going for. I'm definitely part of that gamer population who like complicated games that are harder to jump into. Not the best for a Game Jam tho :S
Thanks for these tips, I'll definitely work on those if I get back to that project later. Need a break from it right now xD
