Tried to play this twice to figure out what to do, controls are too difficult (it's like navigating planets or something of massive inertia)

Did you use keys, mouse, gamepad or joystick? Keys or gamepad are easier than mouse.

Windows version added should be faster than web version and alleviate control / speed issues.

I was not able to figure out how to control the Evopad and my goal.

Using Right click as a control mechanic also brings up the menu in Web version.

Kinda weird. Didn't really understand what to do. I just floated around and then got killed by red cubes :<

@ButtercupSaiyan you can also use the [Left Shift] button or try the windows build.

@Zamando thanks for trying the game. Did you get the flashing red/yellow text message saying "warning cuboid trawler net incursion detected defend the sector"?

looks awesome, and could probably make a good game just right now it has no objective. when the red things come in you can shoot them but they don't seem to make much difference. and shooting them all take a long time. and i have no idea what i'm suppose to be doing otherwise.

@Teknik Thanks for the feedback glad you like the look. Your right I need a Starfighter style blossom missile mode for your evopod. I will get back to this game but I'm working on Gnomeland Defence for Greenlight on Steam at the moment!
