i haven't really played any rts games before so maybe this is my inexperience speaking, but i've died twice on the tutorial :C (well, once dead, once surrendered b/c the bugs destroyed my refinery so i couldn't make any more money)

definitely wanna play this some more and get the hang of it better! i think i'm already starting to understand more of what i'm supposed to do. one thing that frustrated me a bit was, on my first time through the tutorial, i chose the last option out of the three presented (the first question, not sure if there are more questions later) and it seemed like it locked me out of having any defense against the bugs. my second time i chose to "destroy the vermin" (or however it was worded) and felt like i had more of a fighting chance, but i was completely at a loss the first time. did i miss something, or does that just prevent you from being able to fight back?

not rating yet b/c i feel like i haven't played enough, but i definitely want to try this again later and hopefully do better! it already feels very polished c:

just went back to try again and i'm still getting creamed on the tutorial :/ played two more times, and both times i felt like i got overwhelmed by insects back at my home base before i had time to construct any of the rail gun buggies. on my last attempt (for now) i tried cheesing it by building a ton of the harvester buggies first, and then tried building extra bases just as a distraction for the insects. but they still got to my home base and destroyed it, making it pointless to continue

i'm trying to figure out how i can deal with this better. maybe building more stuff further out from base so it takes the insects longer to even get in the starting area? i feel like with a few more construction buggies, i could spread out a little quicker. but it still feels frustrating for a tutorial level (especially when i have to go through the beginning stuff again every time, when i feel like i have a handle on that already)

i still really like this game, and i might just jump into the ai levels instead of trying the tutorial again. but i wanted to share my experience here at least. a limit on how many enemies can spawn at a time during certain stages of the tutorial might be nice. that way i can learn how to take on the bugs at all before i have to face a horde of them

Many thanks for your feedback!

You are right: The tutorial is very difficult at the end. (Probably a bit too hard/unfair.) To win you have to constanty build gatherers and as soon as the buggy factory is available build one. Then start producing buggys and buld a second buggy factory. That should do the trick.

I will overwork the tutorial for the next update to make it less frustrating...

I never got feedback on the tutorial before, most testers directly jump into the matches vs AI. Those are much less difficult than the tutorial.

Great feedback!
