Awesome game, we wanted to do something similar at first :)

Thanks for the kind words! If you post your version of the similar idea (or even another game entirely!) on itch send it our way and we'll check it out!

Our entry is on my page, I'm just not connected to it.

It was along these lines, of sending your team of specialists to handle different problems, in an RTS manner, just the other themes around that... i think the most original idea around that sphere is where you play the monster, or where you manage the team's facility and then only 1 thing gets out and you go into an RTS mode.

Instead, we did an unfinished management game XD

Ah, neat! We'll give it a try soon!

Good job on the artwork and audio! Gameplay is simple yet addictive. May be a skill issue on my end but I found it hard to keep the tentacles at bay even if I bumped it down to easy mode. Still, the concept is solid and well demonstrated. Good job!

Thanks for checking it out! We'll have to give yours a look 😁

Game balance was an interesting challenge with this project, which I don't think we entirely overcame, but learned a lot!
