This is actually a great take on RTS combined with 10sec. Nice one!

anjack 2013-08-26 15:40

Yeah this is a very cool way to do turn-based strategy while giving it a sense of urgency. Multiplayer would be awesome!

wukkopi 2013-08-26 15:42

The concept in this one is really nice. Keep up the good work.

cardanis 2013-08-26 15:43

The strategy behind it is really fun!

gikdew 2013-08-26 15:46

Nice strategy game! Really fun =)

zelun 2013-08-26 16:00

Wow, nice idea, I would love to see a more deep game about this.

zeppelincaptain 2013-08-26 16:04

A good idea very well executed, the levels were nice, the AI impressingly clever and varied weapons and enemies.

However, the timer (and game with it) kept freezing every time the enemy timer hit 8 or 9, so they only got very(!) short turns making it a very easy game.

Can't wait to play the last level with a friend ;D

porglezomp 2013-08-26 17:36

Nice game. I'm also experiencing the problem Zeppelin Captain describes.

doctor-broccoli 2013-08-26 17:48

Great concept. I actually think this game would be better if it didn't have the timer though.

papawhiskey 2013-08-27 00:43

Not too shabby! A bit lacking visually, but really fun to play!

supercannon 2013-08-27 01:44

Sweet use of the theme, it worked really well. The difficulty is evenly balanced and overall it's a good game for 48 hours.

5outh 2013-08-27 01:44

Really good AI and everything for the time limit, I really liked the idea! I also loved the music in the background, nice work!

shard123 2013-08-27 02:06

I really enjoyed your entry, a little buggy but still extremely fun!

prettymuchbryce 2013-08-27 02:31

This was an interesting mechanic. I thought it was clever.

matthewvermaak 2013-08-27 02:58

Good Job! I had some problems with the controls, would have preferred click once to select, click again to move, click after that to shoot. Instead of the click and drag. Overall, well done! :0)

thethirdone 2013-08-27 03:22

Great for the 48 hours! A hit a few bugs and think it would be improved by being more zoomed out. But with some more dev time , I think this could be an incredible game.

roaet 2013-08-27 03:29

From what I was able to play it was great.

jason 2013-08-27 03:34

Really liked the mix of turn based with the timer. Controls seemed a bit buggy maybe but understandable, they worked pretty well tho!

evildan 2013-08-27 03:35

Interesting game! It took me a while to actually figure out the controls, but once I did, it was nifty.

Also - just fyi - the game didn't work properly for me in Chrome, but worked fine in IE (that's uncommon)

phocker 2013-08-27 03:40

nice use of theme -- decent graphics -- nice game

syradinegames 2013-08-27 04:18

Good game. Agree with better controls like matthewvermaak said.

darklotus 2013-08-27 04:27

Experienced the same issues as mentioned above re controls/counter, despite that a fun 5 minutes.

sebastian 2013-08-27 05:16

Very clever idea! Buggy enemy timer though! Also I didn't get any lose condition when I lost all my players.

davisan 2013-08-27 06:10

Wow! Great and addictive game! Also nice music.

szedouu 2013-08-27 07:04

Great strategy game, nice entry. I really enjoyed your game! GJ

dvigubaipiktas 2013-08-27 08:03

Good game but i didn't like controls

samueldivinium 2013-08-27 08:19

I like these kind of games, but all of them are take so long i get bored at the end.. But this is so fast-paced I want to play more and more :D

mrx 2013-08-27 09:52

Cool idea, would probably work very well in mobile.

Found the camera control a bit finicky, would have liked to see more of the level at once.

Overall: Cool :)

nezzhil 2013-08-27 10:28

Very funny and challenging. The game has a lot of variety thanks to all the weapons and maps. And the multiplayer map only makes the game better.

The armoured enemy scared me!

marcellus 2013-08-27 11:33

very very nice and fun

jupiter_hadley 2013-08-27 11:35

I liked this game a lot. It could make a really cool android game, if you had the time. I included this game in my video compilation of LD27 games, if you wanna check it out :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQmE1DEkQd4

joecool17 2013-08-27 11:38

I couldn't get past the first level on web as the red team moved their last guy off screen and wouldn't bring him back into play.

brotherst 2013-08-27 12:10

Really well thought out concept! It takes a while to discover the best way to play, which is always a good thing :)

cwkx 2013-08-27 12:29

Fun little RTS. Good job :)

evilentity 2013-08-27 12:52

Pretty cool concepts, nice execution.

01rafael 2013-08-27 13:21

Great game!!! I just kiii a team member! )))) Want to replay, but I like it! I'll save this limk on favourites ))

lcass 2013-08-27 14:09

haha fun

mventurelli 2013-08-27 14:45

Really cool idea! Actually looks a lot like my entry, go take a look and tell me what you think :)

atmospherium 2013-08-27 15:54

This idea really has a lot of potential, you should definitely keep working on it. Like others have referenced, this does a great job of taking a turn based game and making it urgent.

justi 2013-08-27 17:09

Sometimes game hang out (when red team should move) but in other aspects is a very good game.

esayitch 2013-08-27 19:21

A solid entry... did not care much for the controls, but the idea was brilliant and it adds a hectic feel to an otherwise turn based tactics game... artstyle fit the game but sound got annoying fast...

Good job and good luck!

diningphilosopher 2013-08-27 19:37

Nice concept! I played until the city fight, which got a bit too big for me. It would be better if shooting worked with right click, now I ended up shooting my own people sometimes. The AI was pretty bad (understandable for LD), and I couldn't always see what it was doing (which is probably a bug).

oxydam 2013-08-27 19:47

Great minimalist RTS game.

dioiminik 2013-08-27 20:37

Cool idea and well implemented, though I think the controls need a little tweaking still

christina-nordlander 2013-08-27 21:11

Very simplistic graphics, but quite a fun little tactics game. I did well up to Level 3, then I got slaughtered. The enemy AI is pretty good. Feels a bit like something you might have got on a collection of freeware games when you bought a PC in the 90s (not meant as a slam, I used to love those freeware game collections).

Needs a Game Over message when all your dudes die.

nitrocrime 2013-08-27 21:57

Fun game, unfortunately a very weak AI

valgriz 2013-08-27 22:11

This is a great game!

aarongordon 2013-08-27 22:20

Nice use of the theme, great take on rts style gameplay. The controls take a bit of getting used to and some of the bigger levels felt weird as i could only move my guys a tiny amount (loads of small levels would have been great). Amazing work overall!

josriley 2013-08-27 22:29

The controls were a little tough to get used to, but I'm glad to see someone ran with idea. I almost did it, but was a little intimidated by having to make AI. Anyway, I really like the gameplay and idea, good work!

almax27 2013-08-27 22:47

Cool idea, but as other mentionned I got some freeze on timer on the red timer.

tigerj 2013-08-28 03:09

man this is great. I really liked this and I won! And it was really FREAKING CLOSE. came down to 1 vs 1 dancing around the hay. really awesome work.

broxxar 2013-08-28 03:16

Really nice. Could use a bit of polish but that was splendidly fun.

nickw 2013-08-28 06:33

This is really cool, fun turn based strategy. Very enjoyable.

mlinus 2013-08-29 15:11

Really great idea. Well done! :) Some more polish and a multiplayer mode would be very nice. :D

bitserum 2013-08-30 10:13

Awesome idea, and the AI is great

brassawiking 2013-08-30 18:23

A great entry. Only thing is that 10 seconds scale very poorly when the number of soldiers grow. But I like how you made different units with unique properties, really good design on that part.

xaizil 2013-08-30 22:12

Really like this kind of gameplay, took me a while to work out how to play properly though

diptoman 2013-08-31 12:48

Ah, I love the amount of strategy involved in a game like this. It'd be an awesome pvp game.
Great concept!

fferro234 2013-09-04 22:05

Cool game. The game slowed down or froze a couple of times on the enemies turn until it was my turn again.

chrisgaudino 2013-09-06 18:07

Very unique and great gameplay. Had a ton of fun with it! Nice work!
