NOTE: If you are having trouble with the UI, disconnect / disable all but 1 of your monitors, and then start the game using that monitors native resolution.

Playing the game windowed solved the UI problems for me (so probably no need to start disconnecting ordisabling monitors =D)
Nice game! didn't have UI problems, but i played in windowed mode.
It's a good game, but it has serious performance issues that should be fixed asap. If you keep working on it, improve the graphics (I'm not saying 3D, just a little better 2D) I'll love it.
Overall, I loved the concept and I played it twice.
Nice little game! After I figured out how to play I enjoyed playing through this one - good work :)
It's really hard to figure out what the buildings do.
I played through the first level to give it a shot, but I noticed there were a lot of weird glitchy things preventing the game from being played normally, and it started lagging really badly towards the end of the round. It was decent though, reminded me a lot of Starcraft. There's some fixing to do here though!
I'm not sure if I have really tested your complete game. In windowed mode, I was able to place "building". When I click on the ground and drag, I see a rectangle for selection, but I don't know if I have ever selected a unit, and if I could select one, what now ?
Your description of controls only talk about "Select an offensive unit", "Cancel selection" and "Select multiple offensive units". But what can we do with selected units, move them ? how ? I've tried many keys without effect.
I'm a little frustrated because your game seems promising.
Note : please, remove *.pdb files from your zip file, they are not needed for distribution, it's debug files produced by Visual Studio and they are bigger than your game !
Whoa, finally I won a game.
It's seems that only units from the red building are selectable.
Your game needs more explications and it has serious performance issues when there are more than a dozen units on screen (and I have a gamer PC with a killer configuration).
unfortunately the bugs and lag were the only issues for me in terms of gameplay... but having explanations would have also been helpful. If I ignored the lag and played what I understood... It was quite fun.
