Good work on the entry! Small disclaimer, I do not play RTS usually so feel free to discard anything that does not make sense from me lol. Best of luck working on this game further!

Feedback:

Are the controls intuitive enough, or do I need a tutorial? 

• I think a tutorial would be needed or at least a description on what each building does and its units. I got it after a couple of minutes but I feel it would have made the transition if there was more info.

• I think some use of color coding would be nice as well. Since every text was the same shade blue, I was not able to figure out as easily what is what from a glance or what exactly was health.

What do you think about the graphics? Is it fun? 

• I think the graphics look okay. Could def use some more polish and postprocessing. 

• In terms of fun, it started picking up once I started to understand the context on what buildings do exactly. That is really when I started to enjoy the game. I really did like that I did not have to control the units directly,  but I did find the lack of information kind of a big issue in starting up.

Do you think it could become fun when extended with different units & resources?

• Yeah I think this could be more fun with some more units and resources!
• I think having the ability to potentially upgrade buildings would be cool. At the moment I was only really able to build more of something. I would like to see the ability to upgrade so I can get stronger attack units, and harvest more. 

> Are the controls intuitive enough, or do I need a tutorial?

The controls  were intuitive enough for me. A tutorial would  have been nice for guiding  my first steps, though. When looking at a game for the first time, there are really a lot of questions. Some things are already going on (drones going back and forth) there are some  dark, glowing thingies. Some numbers are shown. But what am I supposed to do first? (I figured out, don't worry. but this is what I had in mind in the beginning).

> What do you think about the graphics?

For the stage your game is currently  in, graphics are totally okay. I think more important right now is getting the main game loop straight, adding more variety, finding out what can make your game special etc. For the mid-stage, graphics need a boost in my oppinion. I   can see really strong visual connections to either the game  Kenshi (Border Zone or The Great Desert in particular) or Dune Spice Wars - these would be the games I would have a very close look when it comes to lightning, terrain generation, environment transitions, colors, shapes etc.

I am not a particular fan of RTS - it is tressing me a lot :-D But I like passive game mechanics/unit control like you implement it in your game. I  played&enjoyed Banished a lot, also Oxygen Not Included and just  lately discovered  Against The Storm which has brilliant mechnics and a perfect, butter-smooth game flow. Not sure if these references can help you, though.

I wish you good luck with your next steps, and the endurance to  carry on. A good start has been made.

I could have used a really short tutorial, or tooltips explaining what each thing does. Could use some UI/audio feedback when selecting stuff or building new things. The graphics style is OK, could use some filling out of the world, but I think its a good direction to go in. It was pretty fun! I thought I was going to easily destroy the AI with a couple early attack vehicles, but they focused more on economy and came back to beat me instead. Having more unit variety, or some upgrades to specialize, would have a huge impact I think.

I mostly liked the map, except for the 'lane' in the center, made it feel a bit too much like a straight tug of war vs the AI. Having some different paths would be good. It might be out of the scope and possibly something you don't want to do in this game, but I thought it would be cool to give general directions to your units, like 'Patrol' or 'Defend', can give you some control while still keeping it relatively hands off.

Overall I liked it, I think with some more work it could become a really cool game! Good work!

The game was really fun once I got a hang of it. The controls are intuitive to someone who has played RTS games for sure. Maybe have some in game text with the same information as the itch game page. I know that you are working on updating the UI, the current one is a little hard to see, especially when there are dark game models (like the walls or dark alloy) behind the texts. Sometimes I couldn't tell why I can't build a building at a location (maybe due to the slope), a little more feedback would be nice. Another improvement could be to provide a visual feedback when a game is selected. Maybe having a queue of building a few units in the could also be nice as I would not have to keep clicking back to my buildings too see if the units has finished building and I have to start a new one. Overall loved the game as an old school RTS game enjoyer, but too old to micro units :P 

I think extension with new units would be great. I'm excited to play this more in the future.
