I thought you did an excellent job with your game! It fit the theme very well and the mechanics worked smoothly. Once the battle starts, I wish the hand would have disappeared, because I was a bit confused if I still needed to perform additional actions. A basic menu screen with instructions or a game over message at the end could have helped clarify some things. Also, I felt like it was a bit too easy overall after just moving all units to the center. But it was super satisfying to watch everything play out, nice job!
The AI for the units is really nice, and I like how you have the hand bounded to a certain region for unit placement. I think with more levels / unit types this would be really good, but you have the core well-designed here. Picking up and moving your units around with the hand wasn't trivial to implement, that works really nicely. And good work on the barricades, as I know getting those to work nicely with the navmesh for the rest of the terrain isn't trivial either.
