The buying units to upgrade approach is pretty nifty, and the controls are super intuitive on controller! Cool game.

Your game is really awesome, I liked the graphics and the idea. But I think is would be nice add some musics to give players more actions feelings. I hope you understand my point :D

Nice game, simple controls and neither too easy not too hard. Good job!

Running around as a big ball of doom in the later stages of the game felt really rewarding, even though the performance started to degrade when the players army gets too big.

There is a slight problem with the UI when the resolutiuon of the game is set to 2560x1440:

But the feeling of being a giant blob of tank shredding metal makes more than up for it :D

@vovin haha that is amazing, you just made my day!
Thanks for informing us about the UI bug, will get that sorted ASAP!
Have a few performance enhancements that we need to do, but I wasn't expecting anyone to go that far! Really awesome!

Love the the robot swarm!

Super minor nitpick: labeling the upgrade buttons with the numbers 1-4 would make mouse/keyboard play a little more intuitive :)

Wow, it's a family work! It's so inspiring, good luck!
Art is good styled and game loop is solid. For me, minimap is overpowered a bit to explode enemies at the far distance ^D
