I've spammed my entire territory with random buildings and it's like it's impossible to lose now. I don't have enough power balance, and the coins are very small and I don't notice them. If you play the game right, the gameplay becomes very interesting!

I was missing a display/hint what each building costs. I was surprised by the amount of units that are present. After the third try i noticed you can upgrade the buildings (reading the tutorial helps ^^) A short explanation what the upgrades do would be helpful (dmg,speed,health) is this for the unit or for the building?

All in all a pretty good and balanced game. And the core mechanics are all finished. Had fun destroying the enemy

Great!

It's short, but it's good. At first it seems that everything is too easy, then you see that the opponent understands something. You strain yourself, and you win.

I really like strategies. This one is so simple and pleasant. I would be happy to play with a more consistent presentation of content.

There is a lot of it, in fact, but you need to figure out how to present it qualitatively.

Very well done. I admire it.

Fun strategy game, I felt it was a bit short but overall I liked it, maybe a few things that could be improved are menus and the overall playtime.
