This game is such a cool concept! The time loop idea is really cool, I love it. It's really really hard though. And I wish there was a "Fast Forward" function so I don't have to sit through the whole loop when I know I can easily survive up until a certain point

Oh this is cool! Had fun playing this one. Having to micromanage your bomb so that they explode later for next loop is fun. Once you have the laser I kinda just spammed it and then I got the flying beast and I didn't really know what to do. Aside the fact I think there are too many dialogues box popping all the time it was a goood twist on tower defense exploration. Nice!

Very nice, i like it

Very nice! I was a little confused on what to do after getting two of the crewmembers back, but otherwise very enjoyable! Maybe objective markers or something would be helpful. Great use of the theme, it felt super polished.

Love it! Great idea, art style and sfx. Only minor tweak would be that you can't really go and explore at all because you have to defend the reactor, which I guess is the whole point lol but this means I can't explore your awesome game and environment!

Developer

(To assist any readers) The idea was that you build towers and defences that can take care of the base for a while, so you can go explore.

But noted that this wasn’t clear. Thx!
