Really love the idea of this game! I think the strategy element of commanding your units is really fun. I think having more enemy spawn points would have made it more fun to play to give more variety. Also enemy movement could have varied a bit to give more unique scenarios but I love where this was headed. Would love to see a more fleshed out version after the jam is done. I'm a fan of the game!
