I have to agree, this is pretty clearly unfinished. I sort of see what you were going for, though -- I mean, there's an RTS in here somewhere. Or something that will one day be an RTS. A proto-RTS, if you will.

Good idea including the xna installer. The units flying around shooting like crazy was kind of neat. Too bad you weren't able to get any real game play or tie in to the theme built. It seems that creating an RTS quickly is very hard to do.

Ok..seems for me a good start to go on. It was a bit to fast no chance to avoid a massacre in front of my main building :D Go on with the game and you will have a blockbuster!

I can see the potential in this one, but it's a pity you didn't managed to finish.

Anyway, the first food shot sure looks delicious. :).

And for those of us with sucky graphic cards, please set
GraphicsDeviceManager.SynchronizeWithVerticalRetrace = True. On my computer the scrolling tears a lot.

Think it would have made an interesting game, considering the targeting/shooting is simulated and not deterministic. Too bad you didn't get any gameplay in. Are you still working on it post-compo?

First: don't use rapidshare. I hate it. ;-)
Second: Do you have to use XNA for something like this? Many people can't run it.
Third: The game seems like it's got potential, but your idea is probably a but too ambitious.

Complete theme failure. It sounds like you intended to incorporate the theme somehow, but as it stands, it's a big flop in that regard.

It looks like this could be a good simple RTS with some updates. As it is, the enemies move too fast for your guys to actually hit!

Unfinished, but a big shout out to the XNA crew! Too bad the installer issues is a headache for so many. Good idea, look forward to seeing finished product some day...
