Was difficult but cool. I liked the little touch of hills slowing you down.

Looks good, I really wish there was a bit more to dying. I didn't get any audio, and it was rough trying to defend your base when it only takes one hit from a rampaging enemy to obliterate it.

Yeah, there is no audio, as HTML5 is a beast with getting it to work. Also, don't forget that enemy bases are just as vulnerable. Thanks for the feedback!

This is a solid game and I enjoyed playing it. I like the quotes, but usually I was still clicking the moment after death so it was easy to click past the loss message.

Hard as nails, but pretty cool.
Nice game!

Awesome game! Super fun to play. Minimal controls and graphics were spot on. I player this game with one hand, while drinking coffee with the other...on a train. (Android phone, android browser) played both campaign and arcade: liked campaign more. Lots of action and the pacing of the bullets and troops was great! It really created a fun tension with minimal game elements. Nicely Done!

Awesome game. I like that you added two game modes as well.

That's a really neat set of mechanics! I very much enjoyed this one. One thing: I never get to read the quotes after i die because I'm still clicking when they come up. You need to turn off input for 2 seconds or something like that.

well done!

Interesting design, quite amusing

Cool stuff, well done! :)

Great design. Seriously, i loved it. The hills slowing you down, the trees and it's stealth mechanics... And for a bright closure: minimalistic RTS gameplay. Bravo.

The best strategy is definitely to capture the bases in the middle of the map to spawn your blue legion. This brilliantly captures the minimalist theme and manages to pack in a lot of gameplay. Good job.

I like the style you have here, and the color theme. thought it was interesting to move around and not worry about shooting. Pretty impressive you got two game modes in there. Would be good to have some indication of which army is winning in campaign mode.

WOW man, really awesome game, the feeling, the controls, like, really responsive, the simplicity in it is great, feels like doing the thing without doing, very nice =D

jus didnt loke the trees!

Nice - had fun with this. A bit on the difficult side - especially separating out bullets from hills/trees visually - but a pretty solid RTS-lite.

Great idea! Feels like Cannon Fodder mixed with Armor Alley. Hope to see it improving.

Cool game, hard and fast paced!

littleball 2013-05-01 12:46

Addictive! I found I kept on going until I had one. It was harsh, but not unfair.

ddionisio 2013-05-01 16:48

I love the quotes you put, it added depth to the game. The game is actually pretty fun and dying in one hit adds a lot to the intensity. Also cool that you keep tabs on which color is winning. Come on, blue team!

Overall I enjoyed this! The idea of keeping tabs on team score is really cool.

Nice game, had fun to play although sometimes a bit difficult

beldarak 2013-05-16 00:18

Great game. I used to click all the time and usually skip by accident the end text that says if you win or lose. Except this little detail it a lot of fun.

xanjos 2013-05-16 00:38

Quite a good game with some surprising in-depth mechanics despite the simple graphics.

avidgamernino 2013-05-17 04:13

Pretty cool minimal game. I dig it. The most fun I had pressing just holding down one button. Great Job.
