How is your game meta (within each relevant category)?
Real time strategy games have a tendency to be accused of being clickfests and that a higher APM (actions per minute) is the thing that wins games in RTSes rather than strategy and tactics. With that in mind, APM: The RTS is a distillation of that winning skill of clicking faster than your opponent to win games. The RTS itself is a parody of Starcraft and Command & Conquer. Other than the genre deconstruction of the criticism of clicking fast, the game mechanic of rock-paper-scissors present in RTS games is also explored a bit, and other RTS tropes in general.
