The music getting more intense toward the end was really powerful. I wish I could give it a separate rating just for that 🙂
it was really fun, it would be great if there were different maps to play
I would have liked some special levels, where you play different scenarios.
The checkers queen with the little radar is a neat idea.
I played on "normal" and had fun doing it. :)
Nice idea for the game
taking a classic idea and mixing in the radio tower mechanic makes it feel fresh and natural
doesn’t feel forced at all, enjoyed it, thanks!

Really lovely sounds and atmosphere, nice visuals. great stuff!!
Good job !
Overall great job!
