I couldn't figure out how to get the big hexagon currency, nothing I did seemed to work. I placed dozens of nexuses, extractors on every big rock lying around, and buds absolutely everywhere to prevent the slow-growing pentagons from destroying my stuff. I grinded hundreds of the smaller, three-hexagon currencies, but nothing every happened. No more enemies showed up other than the original couple pentagons around the map, and I was never able to build any of the buildings other than nexus, bud, and extractor. I don't know if I just missed something or the game was glitched somehow, but the atmosphere and music are very cool, good enough to keep me playing for a while despite being utterly confused.

yes, sorry, totally forgot to put the instructions in the itch page, since no one will be able to figure it out lol. You need to swap one of your purple towers to hold it by holding left click on the image that pops up when you mouse over it, then place an extractor on a rock. I’m aware it says this nowhere in the game, we unfortunately completely ran out of time. The enemies also are a bit bugged, you probably just completely dominated them lol, the original ones are supposed to keep growing stronger but we tunes it super easy since last jam this team did together ended up being way too hard for players lol. Rather have it too easy than too hard for a game jam.
thanks for the genuine feedback and for playing! Glad you liked the atmosphere. We all work, so we really only had about 4 days total to work on this, half of which was spent on the vibes lol.
