Intersting concept. I'm not very familiar with the genre (nor am I sure there is one), but the progressive choice thing was kind of cool. Would have liked it more if it explained a little more though.

haha I love the idea that you have to earn basic functionality like attacking. Really fun to play

I like the style of this, and the turn-based movement feels good!

Very nice concept, I think it can be developed into something nice in the future.

I like the idea, and the art and sound is really nice, but I don't really see the theme coming through. It's a fun puzzle - like game, but there really isn't any "unconventional" weapons.

Great art style, and cool music. Slightly confusing gameplay. Great work!

Quite interesting. It takes a few tries to figure everything out. I can easily imagine an extended version of this game, that would have kept me playing for hours. Very well done.

Really fun, worked out the attacks pretty quickly. Audio is good and the graphics are clean and simple. The mechanic would be great for a mobile game. This is something I would play while stuck on a train. Lots of fun nice one!

Scored 19 first time, wasted too many shots!

At first, I had no idea what to do, but once I figured it out, this game is pretty cool! I included it in part 3 of my Ludum Dare 32 compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/Q8RvVjW24Io

This game definitely has some great depth and replay to it. I think some balancing and tweaks could be made to further the enjoyment for me, but otherwise it's incredibly solid. The mechanics, generation and gameplay are all top notch. I did a playthrough of it here: http://www.twitch.tv/drathy/c/6585865

The two-resource system kind of reminds me of 868-HACK. I felt like I often couldn't attack due to a lack of resources or the proper ability (e.g. all the enemies are below but I can't shoot down, and I don't want to spend the resources on a "KILL"). Really compelling gameplay overall, though -- I agree it would make a great phone game!
