That's an interesting take on the theme, I like it very much. Sadly, here in Austria we are also facing a rather unpleasant divide regarding refugees among the populace. The game is pretty ambitions in being a real time strategy game for such a short time and it works, basically. Ye, the controls are clunky to say the least, I was hardly able to move my units around which was very frustrating and the green soldiers on green background were a bit hard to see. it reminded me a little of "Papers, please", where you are responsible for the fortune (or lack thereof) of migrants.

Laughed my ass off, I'm from Macedonia and I didn't expect to see a Macedonia related game however the game was terrible, and not really related to the theme, I don't know if you are trying to represent the Macedonian police as the monster or the migrants are the monsters, and the controls were awful.

It looks like it would be a fun defense game if it was finished, but for the moment, you win by just lining up soldiers on the border.

Ambitious and *slightly* edgy concept. Overall, I enjoyed it but it could be better executed.

Thanks for all the feedback, as I mentioned, nobody is being implicated as monsters, except for you, the player. I think I set the ambitions of this game a little high for the time limit, which is why it didn't turn out quite as I had hoped. This was also my first attempt at a game that involved AI and multiple moveable objects, which could also be why it didn't turn out so well. Thanks for playing anyway!

I may be able to Grexit this game, but migrants can not Grexit the difficult situation they face in leaving their country.

The concept of this game is interesting, things get harder as it goes on and all that. I don't really have anything more to add that others haven't already pointed out (hard to see the green guys, hard to control one guy at a time).

All in all, it is pretty solid considering you did everything in 48 hours, and the premise was pretty solid.
