Since none of the enemies stay on defense, I just shuttle-rushed 3 units to the enemy fortress for a quick victory. The only level it didn't work on was level 3.\n\nSuperb graphics. If I could change one thing, it would be to improve the camera - show more of the ground and less of the sky when your ship is the air.\n\nOh, and I found a minor bug: It can say \"victory\" after it says \"defeat\".\n\nOverall, nice job!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"neverautomatic","author_uid":"1003475","time":"2018-04-23T04:20:19Z","epoch":1524457219,"modified":1524457219,"text":"Really neat concept.

Yeah, that cheese was a result of not getting a feature in -- I'd like there to be towers that your soldiers must defeat before the dropship can pass. Another gameplay bug that helps  you cheat a bit is that you can go above max cargo if you pick up many marines at the same moment (i.e. from the same y-coordinate). Definitely some other bugs due to it being my first time with Phaser 3 and Typescript for that matter.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Guvitron","author_uid":"1080771","time":"2018-04-23T18:30:34Z","epoch":1524508234,"modified":1524508234,"text":"Love the Starcraft-esque marine\/medivac micro!
