Music is awesome, so are sound effects.
Good work, cheers!
I enjoyed playing with the indirect controls. Kudos for the humor!
I think an in-game instruction would be helpful or some kind of countdown to when the UFOs fly in for each wave so I know that something is going to happen. I am immediately confused by the text and numbers at the bottom. I'm not sure what production does as I am capped at 3/3 - 3 of what? And what does the percentage actually affects - what does it increase? I also see ships docking at my island with a money ka-ching sound yet I don't actually have any money or currency. Is it increasing production? If so maybe that text could highlight or bounce when a ship docks to show that it has an impact.
Nevertheless, the sound effects are pretty humourous and I enjoyed seeing the UFOs slowly flying in to invade my town. I think if I understood what was going on, this might be an interesting game. But it might be that I am actually a pretty dumb player though. :)
(+) Nice concept / gameplay about doing patrols and sacrificing airplanes
(+) Awesome music / sound effects
(-) At start it was a bit slow / boring for me.
(-) Its a minor concern, but I would like to unconpress a directory instead of "lots" of files.
(-) The bottom bar sometimes hide enemies.
I think might be better as purely topdown and clicking on a plane would select it for sacrifise. The paths are cool, but I'd love if they played more of an integral role and the player could actually affect where a plane is on the path (more of a 'plan your defense paths' kinda thing).
I couldn't really feel the difficulty increasing, because I didn't get much feedback, on how much damage was made on my village. The aircraft ai was good. Funny music and sounds!
