I couldn't figure out how to survive the first wave. I'm guessing I'm supposed to collect the resources to build more soldiers? But the button to build more never appeared, and the lone soldier I had couldn't fend off all the hooded figures that show up. Instructions are important!

That's a fair point snapman_GT :)

I've gone and added some instructions to the page, I was a bit to sleep deprived yesterday to get those written. Hopefully that makes it less confusing!

Nice little RTS. Only thing though is there are very limited resources.

I like the idea of a tower defense game where you can move around, but I think the first waves should be a little easier.

Pretty neat once I figured out how to control everything, but then I forgot to leave a soldier free to pick up resources so I got stuck.

I really like it

Very difficult -- with some balance and simple unit AI (that automatically attack/gather resources), this could be really fun.

Great music!

Whenever I built a bunker the hooded figures just walked around it & it wasn't clear how I could create more soldiers.

like everyone has said, took a while to figure the game out, but once i got rolling it was a pretty fun take on tower-defense. I liked that you had to manage going out and getting resources and defending the base. I wish you got money for completeing the waves, or killing dudes. As i eventually ran out of crystals to harvest and got screwed. Nice entry though :D

I like it but it's pretty hard. I kept dying on the first wave. Great music!

I ran out of resources pretty early on, from that point I pretty much just sat and waited until I died on wave 5. It would have been nice to have more to work with.

I really enjoyed this. It took a lot of trial and error to learn how to survive the first couple waves (is it possible to beat wave 3??), but I found it really easy to control and fun to upgrade. It'd be nice if more resources spawned : )

Decent art, and pretty good music to boot. I like the hotkey setup and ability to do mouse control as well. Great job overall!

I almost made a game about a podcast about community radio, too.

It's a cool game, but I had a bit of trouble figuring out the controls at first. Overall I think it certainly has potential. Good job! :)

I don`t know if I`m missing something but I died in the first round, it`s was very dificcult to kill the monsters.

Aww man this is hard as hell.
But I like the combo of like mining and survival shooter.

Interesting game concept! It took me a few attempts to understand the game, even with the instructions. But then it was great fun, so it would be nice to have a small tutorial to get faster into the game.
