After I got the hang of it, I loved it. The fact that you will basically be unable to change anything in the lower layers when setting up the next is brilliant.\n\nMy strategy was to add another command center on the next level, remove the ramp and let them work separately. That way the workers stopped running so far and stayed closer to the production.\n\nAfter I figured that out, it became easy. That is no issue, though, I really enjoyed figuring it out and reaping the rewards.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"antonsem","author_uid":"1033071","time":"2018-08-16T19:57:50Z","epoch":1534449470,"modified":1534449470,"text":"Needs a little polish but cool idea and good execution.

Just wow. Best game I've played jet. After getting used to the controls I was hooked to the game and HAD to beat it. With 3 floors and about 30 Robots I managed to finally defeat the Enemy. This game feels really polished and I had much fun playing it.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"CristiHKJ","author_uid":"1061881","time":"2018-08-18T14:08:22Z","epoch":1534601302,"modified":1534601302,"text":"Great game!

I especially liked the way the two resources are fairly well balanced, in that initially you need steel to build but artillery costs a lot of fuel.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"bobismijnnaam","author_uid":"1007779","time":"2018-08-21T10:18:41Z","epoch":1534846721,"modified":1534846721,"text":"I really liked the idea of me giving out orders and the minions executing them in a no-nonsense manner. However at some point they kind of broke down (I think after building the second floor) and I had to order them around manually, which I didn't like as much. It feels like it takes ages to get my first artillery cannon, but I'm a hopeless strategy player so that might be the cause as well. The controls felt solid and the look and feel was nice and to the point as well. Sounds were simple but made the game just that little bit better. If it would've been possible to upgrade certain stations or workers as well I think the game would've been even more interesting than it already is.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Team-on","author_uid":"1097780","time":"2018-08-28T20:37:25Z","epoch":1535488645,"modified":1535488645,"text":"Great idea!

I think it's caused by the fact that the ramp takes up more space that the model really shows, so it can be unintuitive where it's allowed to place a ramp.
