I liked it - the game is very addictive!
it was a little confusing at first but after figuring out the mechanics it was quite fun. really satisfying to get super upgraded drones and turrets from the lootboxes and just watch numbers start to shoot way up.
i found the way that buildings get built as soon as you let go a little finnicky at first, but i see the logic behind it when i need to spam a bunch of towers and turrets. maybe with press to enter build mode and click to place exactly where you want it might feel better.
also the 'add to network' button on the towers for 1k copper didn't seem to work for me (and i wasn't sure what it would do but i assume would make the resources immediately available everywhere?)
overall really really good, actually i think i might go play it again!
I think I would have preferred turret bonuses for the entire network rather than individual nodes. I wasn't sure if they combined when overlapping, or what. Not that it made a big difference if I just tried to fit as many as I can. I had fun with this, and my clicker-addicted nature is left wanting more.
