I liked that you had to manage going out and getting resources and defending the base. I wish you got money for completeing the waves, or killing dudes. As i eventually ran out of crystals to harvest and got screwed. Nice entry though :D"},{"author_name":"SevenKingdomsSurvivors","author_uid":"37250","time":"May 1, 2014 @ 2:52am","epoch":1398912420,"text":"I like it but it's pretty hard.

It took a lot of trial and error to learn how to survive the first couple waves (is it possible to beat wave 3??), but I found it really easy to control and fun to upgrade. It'd be nice if more resources spawned : )\r\rDecent art, and pretty good music to boot. I like the hotkey setup and ability to do mouse control as well. Great job overall!"},{"author_name":"unprompted","author_uid":"34198","time":"May 1, 2014 @ 11:37am","epoch":1398943920,"text":"I almost made a game about a podcast about community radio, too."},{"author_name":"jellyfishlion","author_uid":"21055","time":"May 3, 2014 @ 2:52pm","epoch":1399128420,"text":"It's a cool game, but I had a bit of trouble figuring out the controls at first.
