It's really satisfying to upgrade and grow your empire, and the game is well paced with the rewards and the three "acts". I didn't realize you could upgrade the nodes during the second phase, so sat for a while without upgrades without realizing it, but once I figured it out it went smoothly from there.
The art and sound are simple but clear, and you managed to get a lot of variety in building types, etc. so it doesn't look too stale (and were the maps procedural?). Music would have been nice, especially if it built up as you expanded, but it's obviously hard to squeeze everything into 48 hours.
I drew your delivery guy and added him to the fan art compilation on [my profile.](https://ldjam.com/users/jeremy-ryan/)

Overall, great work! Reminds me a lot of [Boba](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/52/boba?ref=superjumpmagazine.com), last event's Compo winner.
And it's quite satisfying to be able to automate! Having the ability to control the movement commands as intended made the experience truly enjoyable.
