I think this is a great game start. Some more items and maybe more objectives would probably really help this become a better game. But I think right now it's a little bit hard to process what's going on because the field of view is pretty small and everything just seems to happen automatically after a while when you recruited a few rectangles in defend mode.
I was a little bit frustrated at the left bumper doing something completely different than the right bumper because every time I pressed one I wanted to go back to the previous state with the other bumper lol
