Hexroads is a fantasy city-builder RTS, and the playtest now runs in a browser tab.

The main game loop: you build your base, capture towns during the day, and defend against the undead at night. Every day, you get an additional mission to complete, and on the last day, you face the boss of the level. Each level is randomly generated and procedurally created.

It is a playtest rather than a finished thing, and the part I am least sure about is the difficulty. Five people have played the Windows build so far. Four of them reached the boss on night four, and one has beaten it, on their sixth run. I cannot tell from that whether it is the good kind of hard, the kind that makes you start again, or the kind that makes you close the tab. If you play it, that is the thing I would most like to hear about.
