Really fun and I love the art! I kinda struggled the first few attempts, so it might be a bit too hard (or maybe I'm just bad).

They kind of are, with upgrades they get a lot better, but it can be tricky to get those. Once the jam is over I plan to release a big balance tweak to make the game more enjoyable. Glad you had fun!

There was originally going like 4 more buildings and three more mechanics haha. It's for the best it shrunk a bit!
Just out of curiosity, what hardware/browser are you both running? I'd love to go through it to optimize and see what could be causing those lag issues.
It was working pretty great on my 5 year old macbook pro, though I admit that's not exactly a super weak system haha, until I got a ton of units and things going on and then the sounds started wigging out, but I never experienced much lag. But it obviously is having some issues as you both mention.
Yeah! My laptop is old and I upgraded the parts I could, but the graphics card is not great. Running firefox browser. Here are the specs.
The game would lag when I placed a building. (I was talking to Technopath games (my brother) and he said it was the shaders compiling making it slow down). Hope this helps!
