We thought the moonshot can be about the long and legendary journey. Or about being shot on the moon.

Protection of the base on the contrary. Very fun :-)
An interesting concept, it seems to me that it can be developed into a full-fledged game.
Interesting concept, this had me thinking how to attack more effectively, and once you get the breach... Those monsters had no option against those mustaches, anyway. Good game ;)
Thank you! Glad you've found the good strategy ;)
Cool game, looks very clean and polished.
Music was very nice as well.
Kind of neat being on the other side "Tower Defense" for a change :)
Great job!
Thank you, Mr. Bundles! Music and voice acting were gifts from our great friends :)
I enjoyed playing your game. Those are some brave marines, armed only with moustaches.
Thanks! With moustaches and passion! :-{
I love the concept! an inverted tower defense or tower attack that you’ve created. Looking forward to see more levels. Very satisfying moment when the ship deploys the marines. It was a lot of fun! Well done!
Thank you! We've really put some soul in this game ❤️
My mustached marines penetrated that moon princess so hard, smartface would be proud. Fun little game with a lot of charm! Really enjoyed it :)
Thanks! It is hard to tell but mustached marines are really gentle in their souls ❤️
Interesting idea to make the player the attacker. The control mechanism is simple to get, and there's room for strategy ! I like it.
Thank you for your feedback! 🥳
I haven't played many tower defense games where I'm the aggressor. I had a good time beating the game, but I would've loved to play some more levels. If you guys add any more on in the future I'd love to return and conquer them as well!
Greetings! Thanks for the review! Yeah, creating the reversed tower defense was one of the key points of this endeavor for our team :)
Love the idea and style but it's rock hard.
Thank you! Yeah, it is a little hardcore. But actually not that tough, when you get used to mechanics a bit
Very nice graphics and interesting idea! tried to land all three spacecrafts in one time but always getting one crashed - is it impossible or there is a trick?))
Thank you for your feedback! In fact, you can do it, but it is super hard. I managed to do it only once 🙈
Those marines do indeed have fine mustaches. Interesting idea, I beat the level, I'm just not sure how the scoring works.
The finest mustaches 😇 Thank you! The scoring is not obvious for sure, we have done it in the last hour before submittting the game.
Here is the list of events, that contribute to the final score:
There is a special bonus that activates after your marines reach the castle from both sides in one landing attempt. Once the bonus is active, any further castle penetration will contribute +20 to the final score.
I haven't rated yet because I have been having trouble on where to position my ships. Am I supposed to be having only 1 ship survive the landings?
Definitely will revisit if you guys respond bc the dialogue was funny and the music slapped.
I liked the jokes in it too lolol
Hi Angelo. Thanks for your comment. We wanted to add a bit of challenge to the game given the simplicity of controls - it seems that we slightly overdone there :) I have started to compose a wall of text answer to your comment, but then realized that it would make sense to add a little tutorial for the game in the description, given that we haven't managed to craft one within the game. I have also added some handy gifs to it - so I am sure it will clarify your question. And more concrete answer for you: there are at least 2 places in the area where you can land 2 dropships side-by-side in close formation.
Greetings Angelo! Thank you for your feedback! Surviving the Moon landing is definitely a challenge 👾 Still, you can do land all 3 ships simultaneously (yet only two people in our team managed to do it to date)
