Very cool, love the idea.
That was really fun! Cool idea, too. I'm not sure if it's even possible to win on medium (let alone difficult), but uh... yay!
nice
Neat; I beat medium on my first go, so it's possible. Very nice graphics; the gameplay is fun. I wasn't sure of exactly what the strategy should be, other than to try to hold the other guy's bases where possible and then flood all the channels. Fun, and very nice looking.
Lovely! Wonderful concept! I'm a fan of RTS games as it is, this is truly superb! The audio leaves something to be desired but it's amazing how this minimal game can be so complex at the same time!
Thanks for the feedback guys. I was a little worried that having only one unit would make the game boring, but it seems like there is still some strategy to it.
Short and sweet, good concept, the very sense of the Capture the Points type of game.
Nicely done graphics. On Firefox I could not see the lightning bolt increasing, so I did not know how much I could reinforce, but that may be a known thing.
Soo much blood! There seems to be a bug where the energy always reads 0, but I can still build units.
Hmm sounds like there is indeed an issue on Firefox. If you have Chrome installed, that should play the game better. Thanks for the heads up!
Simple fun. Great stuff. Would make a great mobile game.
The CPU was evil on hard, and amassed a huge army in one lane XD Good game.
Rock on
Excellent. This game would be perfect for mobile, IMO. Check out CocoonJS, it'll let you package it up nicely into an APK.
this was really alot of fun -- like a tower defense rts -- great job!
Great concept! The game is simple yet you've managed to cram in a good deal of fun and excitement into it :D Way to keep it minimal in an awesome way!
Nicely done. Good attention to details. Enjoyed it.
Satisfying minimalization of the genre. Maybe "Easy" level could be a tiny bit easier?
I'd like to see the buttons flash or something. Because units are created under the buttons and emerge seconds later, there's no immediate, consistent feedback that you've made a unit, except that the number goes down by 1. I guess there's a sound too, sometimes, but not always. I found that I was watching the number or watching for units to eventually emerge from the under-the-button area to make sure they'd really been created, when I should have been watching the field. More button feedback would fix that.
Sometimes it's hard to see the enemy amidst all the blood: both are red. (Why are tanks making blood splashes anyway? Hmmm.)
A lovely take on the theme, great fun, great graphics - an overall good game. And incredibly suitable for IOS/Android as well. Add a multiplayer-option and you've got yourself a hit.
COOOL!!!
Nice minimal take on the genre.
I had a lot of fun! Played from easiest to difficult, and didn't make it on the last difficulty )
cool game concept. I liked that it's simple but very nice.
Not sure if the resource-meter is bugged or if Im just not understanding it? It kept saying "0", yet I could buy loads of soliders..
This is actually a really cool take on minimalism. I really enjoyed it. Took me a while to figure out to win, but then I realized it's not about matching all the lanes, just winning in one of them. Well executed!
A nice game that fits the theme very well, though I didn't find it very challenging.
So minimalistic! The soldiers were a bit slow though, they take a lot of time just to appear on screen. Completed each difficulty on the first try.
Clicking one of the four lanes to build a green tank to defend or overrun that lane interested me. I managed the incoming red tanks. If you continue to develop this, I'm not sure yet how to improve my technique.
