I like the idea but you are suppose to make your own content including sounds.

I like that after I lose, I must watch the other guy suck up the resources --> really gets me fired up to conquer.

Nice game.
Music get's a little repetitive but to be honest I'm nit picking there.
Good fun, nice game, like the protesters they were a good difficulty curve.

Fun gameplay, it would be cool if you added a multiplayer mode. I laughed when I accidentally killed the anti fracking protester.

With better AI and some more varied gameplay and modes, this can turn out to be a great little game! I think you can definitely take this furhter. Good luck in the compo.

Good idea and good game, i like the audio. It is a little too long to play again when you lose.

Well that is challenging. I like it. I only miss some sounds.

Thanks for the feedback!

- Whoops, maybe I'm not eligible to win because of using some freesounds. Next time!
- The AI should be fixed! Or at least not get stuck
- Multiplayer would be great
- OK, now you get one retry, then it's back to the start!

To clarify it appears that the AI *is* fixed in that it does not get stuck anymore.

Very cool! At first I didn't know how to get resources but once I got this....I loved the music as well. Very good job!

When I start the game it immediately freeze after I hit enter and this error appears in the console:

Uncaught InvalidStateError: Failed to execute 'noteOff' on 'AudioBufferSourceNode': cannot call stop more than once. game.js:199

Nice concept, althought the collisions with enemies were a little confusing.

Nice idea, but it's so hard to kill the enemy!
