Ratings and reviews

Based off the harsh comments, I presumed that the game was half-baked and broken. Ignore them. Gameplay is a twist on standard tower defense strategy, the mechanics are top notch, and the difficulty ramps up nicely. If anything, I'd say that the game has multiple avenues for future development. This is a nice starting point to add deeper strategic elements beyond individual levels, especially when you leave to find a new home with your resources... Also, the UI needs to be *larger* on phones.

Needs some work, more clarification on instructions. I didn't even realize at first that the planets were levels I had to select to play. Once I was into the tutorial, it felt like I was just building things with no rhyme or reason. "Select a territory you own". I own territory? News to me! "Tap level 1 to build resource unit." Why do I get different "units" even when I do the same thing a second time in a new territory? Very hard to follow what I'm doing or why it's suddenly different.

Good game concept. Needs better execution. The game features a tower defence style strategy where you battle for new planets, this is fun however it is a little repetitive and short. What would be good is if you could the upgrade your resource mining kit etc with the materials you gather from the planets. Or When you acquire a new world, the resource is mined and collected so you can buy upgrades over time.
