It looked like a shitpost at first but its accually a really solid game congrats. Its a very cool idea to have the randomness as something you have to fix. I like how many hazards you added so anytime you place a building it could screw up your entire mine setup or your barracks. The redirect feature really made me feel like im in control and the game isnt just pure randomness. Very nice concept and execution.

Fun to play, a little confusing if you dont read the tutorial but not bad at all

I love usage of the meme.

Took me a few attempts, but finally I've got a grip of what is expected of me to do. Cool little game, but music could have been a little less annoying 😂

Really nice concept here. I really like the redirector concept. Would be interesting to see a tank attack that destroys a building so your grid is evolving over time, I felt that placing the arrows were set and forget. Great job!

I really liked the concept for this one. The gameplay was pretty fun with being forced to redirect where your little guys go. Defeating the tank and its death animation was a really nice touch and reminded me of the PvZ final boss. If you decide to keep working on this game I would definitely play it!

Came for the meme, stayed for the gameplay. Reminds me a lot of Lemmings, especially how your villagers run directly into a pit of lava unless you tell them not to. I had gotten so attached to the little guys that I felt a real desire to stop the tank before it crushed them. Definitely a creative concept.

Interesting concept. The music is good, though the graphics could use a lot of work. The tank should have a healthbar or some visual indicator of how much damage it has taken. Also I don't think the redirect nodes were explained very well.

Noted- Yeah I never managed to fully finish the graphics in time, especially the tank.

I added a more detailed description for the redirector on the itchio page, hopefully that helps a bit.
