How it feels

You frantically build defenses and manage fragile clone workers to survive escalating enemy waves and protect your Nexus.

What players say

Players praise the concept and core loop of mining, building, and wave defense, but many report crashes, a clunky building system, a missing map or compass, unpredictable wave timers, and manual ammo loading. Opinions split on whether the rough edges are acceptable for a solo developer's first full release.
