You've put so much thought and detail into each of the units' function and mechanics, and the UI is extremely well done. My main issue was that &quot;X&quot; is more traditionally cancel than action. Since &quot;Z&quot; and &quot;X&quot; map to &quot;A&quot; and &quot;B&quot; normally, I ended up buying things by accident while trying to cancel out of the shop occasionally. Apart from that all I think this game really needs is some music - the graphics work throughout is amazing (such as the title screen effect) and the game is very well balanced overall.
