Nice little game. I like the sprites but the background would have been better as a tiled texture of sand. The gun sound effect didn't sound right, but other than that it was fine.

Took me a while to realise I could actually move lol. I thought I had to stay in the centre and rotate like I was drunk :)

I couldn't work out how to repair the fences though, I click the button and it takes 20 of me gold but nothing happens.

I like the idea of falling back to a more defensible position.

After a while though I found the game too easy, because I realised you could use 50 points to upgrade your pistol for a short while, and in that time you can easily get well over 100 points, so you can just constantly upgrade and never lose.

Also as the other commentator mentioned, the game did want to get through my firewall, so I imagine that's some nosey Unreal thing, but I just blocked it and the game ran fine.

Great work though.

Cool little game, I really liked the art of the sprites. Would be cool if all the environment was hand-painted, that would really make the game stand out. The pistol fire rate upgrade made me laugh, really OP stuff! :-D

The Unreal Engine here is a really huge overkill. If you made it in Godot, or even Unity, the game would have like 10-15 MBs and wouldn't eat 70 % of GeForce 4070 Ti and 50 % of 20 core CPU :-D It also asked to communicate on the private network which was really suspicious but it somehow worked without it when restarted.

But I understand that sometimes you just want to try and learn new cool things :-)
