How it feels

You methodically place towers and deploy strategic tools to fend off waves of alien creatures on a stylized Mars base, with a calm, cerebral pace.

What players say

Players finish it in one to two hours and find the difficulty peaks early then vanishes, as the economy breaks open and no new enemy types appear. Some appreciate the lane-based design and repair mechanic, but many call it overpriced and unfinished, a student project rather than a retail game.
