The game is fun and has a good idea behind it, but it just becomes a slog in the latter parts of the game once both sides reach their unit limits.
Everything is too tanky, everything takes way too many hits and it takes a long time for even one frigate to die.
The game also seems to lag a lot, I'm guessing this is because of no LOD and some graphics settings that don't really matter being put in.
Why does the other side have a higher limit than you? this is just giving them the win when it takes this long for any side to go past the middle.
You can also never upgrade and never destroy any of your own units, which is not a bad thing for sure, but it means that by the (very easy to reach) end, whoever has the most large miners wins.
4/5, but has major problems that affect its enjoyment.
Best of luck, cheers!
Thanks for your feedback on the game. It sounds like you enjoyed the concept but encountered some challenges in the later stages, particularly with prolonged battles and technical issues. If I ever come back to improve this game, I'll make sure to keep your comments in mind!
