  • Okay that was really fun for me, I love being able to customise builds and the strategy behind it. The concept seems really solid. Seems a pity that you couldn't add everything that you wanted to. The GDD was not quite complete and that may have slowed your progress as well. I take it the key 1 functionality was not yet added? If it was the what key 1 should be is unclear. I am a big fan of the artwork and the assets look cool and match the aesthetic well. I would love to see this developed further and in a more complete state.

Love the graphics, raw and gritty. Very cool aesthetic.

I think controlling with WASD while being able to layout your ship would be a fun mini-game by itself if the challenge was a little harder. As it is you can just plant turrets all around plus the radars and you can't lose.

Perhaps a wider resolution so you can see more enemies (and they can be faster, bigger, different). Definitely needs some game feel as everything is more or less static.

Overall, I think this is a solid foundation and could easily be turned into a more in depth game.

Thank you! Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time to make as much as I wanted to, but I definitely want to make something better out of it.

The graphics of the buildings were really nice! I didn't really understand my objective tho. Seems like you put in a lot of work tho and probably learned a lot! Good job!
