AMAZING and maybe my favorite game of the jam. I'd totally pay for an updated version of this.

Quite cool defender game, got all the upgrades. Some final boss would be nice (unless there is and I just didn't get to them). Liked some extra stuff like this spaceship that sometimes flies by. Good job!

This is some real impressive work!
You've managed to create a whole bunch of different units and enemies, and the roguelike-factor works really well!

The only big issue I see right now is that you can get upgrade cards for buildings, without being able to produce the resources you need to build it. Initially I assumed I'd unlock the resource production buildings when I unlock the unit building, so when I then tried to build anything from that chain, I was a bit confused why it didn't work. But by run 2 I got how it worked, and with some gears I made it pretty far on run 3!

Super polished and mechanically deep! Wow, this is very impressive for one week, you guys did amazing work here! For some feedback, I kept accidentally clicking a random upgrade item when a wave finished while I was placing buildings. I think a "UI cooldown" would help here, where I can't choose an upgrade for at least 2 seconds when it shows up, haha.

The building system is cool, but it is weird that when I unlock a production building from the upgrade popup, I can't immediately build it, I have to wait until I unlock a unit that uses the related resource. Would much rather start stockpiling immediately so I'm ready for when I unlock a unit building.

Lots of replayability here, I had a good time!

Nice work, and a lot of systems and strategy gameplay for just one week. I never managed to obtain any other materials other than the starting two, the upgrade cards may need to be less random/more structured for the early rounds so you can get yourself going.

When I press the P button I see this:

I would also say that the second page of the tutorial is a little bit confusing due to the screen layout, the item being referred to in the text that I'm being taught about is almost completely covered up by the text box itself. I see it's the only lit object on screen but was still a bit confusing, it might need the box moving or an additional arrow to aid clarity:

I was confused about the meta upgrades at first and how they work considering they also show up as roguelike upgrades during a run. I think having the meta progression simply unlock them for all runs diminishes the roguelike feel for the game and you might be better off making the two separate. That said, the game itself is really well made for a week. Great level of polish considering you made so much of the game from scratch. Really impressive and quite fun game!

Amazing game to be honest , it is really complexe and addictive , Love tower defene game like this . 

I saw this in the alpha release, amazing work with how much you have done now! Perhaps you can check out my game to see what I did wrong and how I can learn. I really want to master this kind of thing :D

Very cool concept, and fun to play! I like the idea of combining tower defense and RTS elements. The core gameplay loop is satisfying, especially at the beginning. However, the mechanics do start to break down in the late game, as resources become plentiful and the spawn cap becomes the limiting factor. There are also some basic quality of life features missing, such as being able to place multiple buildings at once (e.g., using shift-click) or having hotkeys for building placement. Regardless, I really enjoyed my time with this game and hope you guys keep cooking!

Well made game! Usually I'm not really into tower defence games but this one was really fun to play! Good job!

game is so addicting, loved it.

I spent way too much time trying to get past wave 9 but even though I figured out more how the game works, I didn't manage. Not quite sure how the cards from the shop work as purchased buildings don't seem to show up in my bars.  Very polished game!!!

Update: Couldn't leave it be. Figured out how it works. Made it to 20.  

craazy, absolutely enjoyed playing it although I wouldnt say it fit the theme that much..

Great sound effects and satisfying hit impact! It’s a super addictive resource management tower defense.

1. Progression: It’d be better to separate in-game traits from meta-progression. Mixing them loses that "Vampire Survivors" feel of building a run. More diverse in-game upgrades would add a lot of fun.
2. UX Logic: The building flow is a bit unintuitive. I shouldn't have to go through a specific unit’s menu just to build a mine for a resource I’ve already unlocked.
3. Strategy: As a TD game, player agency feels a bit limited. Right now it's mostly just placing barracks and watching. Adding more active tower defense elements would really level up the gameplay.

One of the jam’s strongest entries. A clever and really enjoyable spin on tower defense. Great job! 

even tho i cant get past wave 5 (idk if its the game or myself, but ive heard that it is a difficulty to balance it), this seems like an interesting concept for a tower defence game, however it heavily depends on luck for getting resources... the gear shop is a nice addition to make things a bit more easier. what i will say is that when u can choose an upgrade, make it more clearer if it unlocks a resource or some sort of blueprint. overall, i can really see the potential and theme from the sci-fi appearance and i can interpret trial and error.

Great take on tower defence genre. Reminds me of mindustry unit production and the visuals and permament upgrades remind me somewhat of risk of rain 2. It also seems visually that you control an alien faction while being attacked by more human-like machines?

Well executed tower defense game! I was a bit confused on why certain towers I selected didn't show up as selectable. Overall polished and fun to play--great job!
