Nice strategy game. The AI on hard is difficult, that's nice. It would be cool to have bigger map with more sectors. Great job !

@nilo, do you have the prerequisites (.net 4.0 and xna) installed?

With some progression, like more colors and whatnot, you'd have yourself a pretty good puzzle game here. Good job.

Interesting idea, challenging game.

Just a quick tip: .pdb file is a debug database used during debugging in visual studio. It weights quite a lot (~10 MB in your case), but it is not necessary to include it into archives :)

Really cool design - very minimalist and immediate but with a bit of thought required from the player.

Good game! I recalled a board of Risk. Then it could have more than one type of enemy. :D

Like it. Well tought. an option to play without the time limit. (even if it was the competition theme) would have been nice, I kinda feel it is too little time to have the full experience.

Really neat game concept. The basic art looked cool and effectively communicated what was going on. Like that other guy said, "Voronoi maps!"

That's fun :) Easy and normal are good, hard is haaard. Size of map is ok because of the time :D

Excellent idea! cool strategy game! as everybody said it would be nice to have a bigger map and also because of the big size it dosent need time , but thats for an other game since this is for LD... great work! if you continue doing this game with more stuff ill love to play it :D
