Tastefully minimal. Stage 4 took me 6 tries.

Love the minimalism style. Really original gameplay ^^

I really liked how level 1 was super simple, and helped me figure out how to play. But the next level really changes it up a notch with the shape and number of paths. Really cool use of the mechanic.

Man, I love this concept. No micromanagement here at all. That's what RTS should be, I reckon. Should prioritise strategic thinking and decision making - which is what this does from my perspective.

Very interesting and unique mechanic. I found it a little difficult, but still very fun.

Thanks !

It's kind of an adaption of the Castle Fight mod in Warcraft 3. Nexus Wars is the more famous equivalent in Starcraft 2, I think.

Well that's what I call minimalist gameplay! Probably would not be even possible to have less control and still be an RTS. And I mean that as a compliment! Also, I absolutely love Z. Was hard to figure out the difference between the grunts and the psychos, though.

Kool you kept it simple, and it works... wish there was a better way to protect nodes. and wish the psychos where different looking. also a mini map or some sort of over all node counter might be cool.
