haha. Just. haha insane.

I can't believe just how hard it was to make something that was supposed to be simple. I guess adding complexity to the way you add/remove entities via menu or UI makes it harder to manage stuff.

How to play:
controls can be updated by clicking esc and manually updating the buttons.
movement: W, A, S, D.
click the icons in the upper left and place buildings around the world.

hamster wheels generate power.
turrets shoot cannons.

You cannot fire. ran out of time for the personal big gun. You will have to avoid the bullets instead and focus on building things.

You win by not dying before the goal timer is hit and the core building is still alive.
if you die before the timer hits 5000 you lose.
if you die and the core is at 0 you lose.
if you are alive somehow you cannot win. ;-)

tips to win if you are struggling:
I believe if you start the game again it remembers the amount of unspent 'hamster power'. You might be able to use this to your advantage to win later games if you are struggling.

Your turrets are very weak against the enemies, just let them hit the core while you stay safe.

enjoy.
