Congrats for finishing your game! I go back to the game, building more turrets to protect my oil!

Fun game, would have liked some visual feedback on the health of my stuff and the enemies.

@cgraen glad you liked it, I agree I had plans to add health bars but ran out of time!

Pretty fun, although waves seemed to come too infrequently to pose me any threat.

Group select would be great.

A good start. As others have mentioned, some health bars and group select would be really useful.

Nice game! Very hard to make a RTS in 3 days, congrats for that!

If I may, it would be great to have a little more feedback on attacks, it can be hard to see / understand if troops or tanks are firing or not, and maybe understand why sometimes they seem to miss the target

Pretty fun, I like the design of the mini troopers. Let me remind of my childhood time👍

Cool RTS game, well done in a game jam. I liked the music and the sound effects made me laugh. The fighters have really bad aim, but piling enough of them together made up for it. I did find a bug where clicking the building select button would immediately build that building under where the button was regardless of if I had the resources for it, but otherwise the game worked great, great job!

Thanks to everyone for playing!

@agent-maxwell I agree there is a 40 second wait between waves it could be shorter for sure!

@baturinsky & @oller125 We had planned to add group select but it didn't make it in in time, totally agree though!

@jojopalambas Yep having some shooting effects would be a good addition, and yeah, I didn't have time to fix the little guys aim!

@smilewood Glad you enjoyed it! And oh no a cheese!!

Good ol' tower defense-like gameplay! I ran into a bug where when I put down one of the buildings, the model stuck to my cursor. I could still buy and place other units though, so it wasn't game breaking, but it definitely covered a portion of the screen. I liked the music!

I'd really like to try this, but on an ultra-wide monitor the UI disappears :cry: if you ever make a build with windowed mode, or a web version. give me an @ :heart:

@simex Just added a new build to fix the UI issues, its not windowed so if you are still having issues let me know!

@ty-victorson UI fix worked like a charm!
Ended up playing until wave 8 (but I think I could have gone indefinitely) drills are a really good investment :sweat_smile:

I love games where you end up with a lot of units fighting around in pure chaos, so I had a really good time. I started exploring the map (which is HUGE btw) and maybe there is a missing mechanic I didn't understand, but I found little reason to expand away from the HQ, I was also unable to interact with the bunkers that where found about on the map.
