I absolutely loved that game! Graphics and sound were cool, and the concept is amazing in its simplicity and elegance. If I could suggest anything - and an option of cooperative play! It would made for an amazing couch coop experience :D

Cool game! Love the graphics - took a while to get a hang of the controls though. I would recommend having the instructions stay up a bit longer at the beginning. I thought I had to go over and interact with the different weapons and charging stations before the instructions went away so I didn't both reading them at first. Then as soon as my character reached the machine (and I went to reads the directions), they were already gone. Cool gameplay though and definitely addicting once you get the hang of things.

really nice graphics and sound, needed a little to get into the game, but then it was quite fun

Good entry; took a bit of time to learn how to play the game; but after that i had fun. Difficulty is a bit high though, even when i knew what i was doing. Browser version of the game was really laggy so i had to switch to the desktop version midway through.

I liked how the pace of the music matched the activity. I'd waves coming in negative seconds? Also, felt like when things started to fall apart it just happened. Might be good to dial back the enemy ships a little when they start hitting the shield, or have the shield take some out. Like everyone, it took a couple of minutes to get the hang of it but after that I had fun. I'd like to have a way to read the upgrade descriptions outside the game.

Nice job! I like elements of strategy in this game

This was a really fun game, I particularly loved the progression of it, well done! Being able to upgrade everything and slowly get more powerful was great, and I loved the turret upgrades that gave more bullets especially, so I'd love to see more interesting upgrades like that. It was great fun shooting down waves and waves of enemies too, especially since they increased in number so quickly - it felt great to shoot them all down. There was also a lot of strategy - upgrade the iron machine, or the turrets? - which added a lot of depth to the gameplay. Well done on making such a fun game!

This looks and sounds great - the music was especially awesome and it worked well with the retro style art. Great concept - I had a little trouble figuring out what to do at first but I got it and had some fun! Good job!

Tough to get the hang of the controls, but I really really love the artwork, special effects, and overall concept!

amazing graphics and sound, and great concept! Game was just brutally hard though, and the interface was a little annoying at the start to get the hang of. overall though an amazing submission!

Took a while to know what to do. I didn't realize I was going through a tutorial and had to do certain things. The graphics were good. The idea is neat. It's like a resource management upgrading space invaders game. Good job.
