I like the graphics, especially the intro. The gameplay mechanics are a bit unbalanced.

Doing my Starcraft-thing and just building a ton of miners I quickly found they tend to get bunched up together and stuck, which is a bit of a bother. Otherwise alright, ye.

A decent real time strategy game, looks like a lot of hard work and polish was put into it. Good job guys.

I love it! The graphics are great and it's reasonable balanced for 48 hrs (ie not very, but good job attaining even a little bit- that's hard with a game this complex!)

Without the bugs (getting stuck) and the balancing problems, this would be a very nice game. Was fun to play anyway. Some tooltips with further details about the buildings were nice too.

Impressive work for 72 hours!

Nice RTS :D Though I didn't feel like the villain, just someone fighting for survival :p

Haha, those pixels are HUGE at fullscreen. I'm always impressed if people make a RTS in 48/72 hours. This one has good graphics as well.

A real time strategy game with Game Maker in 72 hours is a pretty great accomplishment. I suck at these kinds of games, so I got slaughtered every time, but it's pretty fun. Lots of content, a great soundtrack, and good visuals. Nice job!

Pretty ambitious project indeed. The problem is - aside from I don't what is doing what - that the harvesters are stuck at the base frequently so I don't get the minerals. Also pop-up texts are partly out of the screen so it renders it unreadable.

A bit buggy, but extremely impressive. Music and graphics were spot on! Very lovely.
