I didn't understand it at first until I realized it's a parady of modern RTS games. Now I think it's art. I like it.

Thank you 💂! It was such a debate to make the game more apparent it was a parody by adding in funnier mechanics, but each mechanic I added that broke from the RTS feel ended up making the game very frustrating. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Do you have any feedback on improving the game to be more easily understood? I think adding better mission indicators would have been a good idea, but I ran out of time. RTS games require so much polish compared to other game types, I must have spent a majority of the time polishing.
I guess I associate the term "X Simulator" with parody games, but in retrospect I don't think that's true for most people.
