This was a *lot* of fun. :) Really nice work!
I liked the way you guys made the hexagons all fit together! Tiling a sphere can be a bit tricky.
You guys should definitely keep working this! There are so so many fun things you can do with a "blow up the earth" game... it definitely feels like you guys are scratching the surface of a really fun idea. I can't wait to see how this turns out!
I see what you mean by bugs, but honestly this isn't too bad. Sometimes I wasn't sure when / where I could put volcanos, and I'm still not sure what the blue mountain bug does exactly.
It would be fun if the mass destruction things loaded faster! It gets a bit frustrating waiting for them to recharge lol
Really interesting! Good job!
Interesting idea. It has potential but sadly, the progression of the level is not appropriate. Graphics are not very elaborated too but it was fun to play, I enjoyed it. Keep working!
I didn't really know what I was doing, but watching the volcanoes and meteors was fun. Something should probably mention that you have to click the mountains to get them to erupt.

@jamie-reed .Hey thanks for critique, check the guide in menu, information about clicking the volcanos is here.

Thanks a lot for feedback, we would definitely continue working on this project. I'll soon add another link to another version of this project, hopefully better then this one. @mjgood "blue mountain" is an iceberg, clicking on it will freeze the population in nearby hexes on 10 seconds.
@Proke The guide says "Press at volcanoes and icebergs to see the eruption." I thought that meant to click on the icon on the side like the meteors and I waited for a while for the icons to fill up like the meteors before I realized that I needed to click the ones on the map to get the them to erupt. Perhaps something like "Click the mountains on the world to cause them to erupt" would be clearer.
Anyway, I really like the graphics. Especially the meteor explosion.

The gameplay is really nice but lacks maybe a bit of polishing. I'm a big fan of the hexagon-tiled sphere, and with some more content it could be really nice! Great work!
Like the meteor animation, that seemed like the only effective weapon, the ice mountains didnt do anything and at one point the music just cut off, should probably loop it. Good Effort.

I agree with @digitaldude555 , and also the meteors don't seem to do anything to tier 3+ buildings. You can either wipe out the first city immediately or wait and then you can't win anymore. But nevertheless I had fun trying to wipe out the cities.
Big amount of bugs, but I like animation and planet visual
