And everything looks neat and polished! You did so much in 48 hours and it feels like there was a lot of care put into the game.\n\nTo be honest, this is not my genre at all, so I did feel a bit lost while figuring out what to do, what to build, how to go about it. I watched a bit of your video on YouTube though ^^ \n\nThe pink enemies and their den look so cute. Their house looks like a flower bud <3 \n\n![cute.jpg](\/\/\/raw\/c93\/65\/z\/70fc5.jpg)\n\nThey are working hard in there, living their life and not touching me (so far).

The CRT effect really works for this game, and the graphics overall are very nice. I love how the little guys walk around. It feels very complete, with all the mechanics you were able to put in this. It took me a while to understand that i had to select a building, and then i could do something. My only gripe is that building and generating takes a bit too long for a small gamejam game. A lot of the time i just was waiting until i was strong enough to attack.\nOverall a very polished and complete entry!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1196479,"author_name":"Nikiroz","author_uid":"nikiroz","epoch":1776768407,"text":"I like this art style!

I don't know what kind of post processing effect you had on the screen but it was cool to see.\n\nIn my playthrough I found gold to be the most sought after resource as a single cyborg factory would use up nearly all your supply. Of course with that many cyborgs you could then steamroller everything :P\n\nIt was a bit slow to move the camera around so a clickable minimap would have helped or perhaps smaller grid squares.
