The gameplay is interesting, I like the split between fighting the hordes and running the factory. The player's own weapon is pretty weak, which gives the game a hectic feel. It would be nice to be able to actually use some of those weapons we are building though."},{"author_name":"shrapx","author_uid":"44649","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 9:58am","epoch":1429782780,"text":"Fun mechanics in this game.

I thought it looked pretty nice.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I enjoyed it once I figured out what to do. I'm not sure how to save my researchers though, which seems to be the thing that gives you a game over. The writing is very funny."},{"author_name":"spin-down","author_uid":"51475","time":"Apr 24, 2015 @ 8:08pm","epoch":1429905780,"text":"Thank you all for the comments.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@polkdev \r<br\/>I personally liked how the graphics style came out but, at the time, seeing the efforts others had put into their own art, I thought it would be a bit cheeky to add it. On reflection however you're right, so I've now added it to the vote categories."},{"author_name":"CarlsonAndPeeters","author_uid":"28902","time":"Apr 25, 2015 @ 6:08am","epoch":1429941780,"text":"Nice stuff! Really like the idea of managing research\/building while also fending off enemies. I think the fighting enemies part could be improved though; they could be more threatening of a foe, and maybe not be so far away from the research.

I'd suggest to balance the difficulty a bit more so that we can survive longer and not run out of money so easily.

I loved the weapon suggestions and the gameplay requires some management skills while being right into the action.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I would lower the alien's resistance or reduce the cost of guards, because the feeling of firing everywhere like crazy and not killing anyone is a bit frustrating.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Otherwise it was very enjoyable.
