The design here is really interesting, but the walls of text make it hard to parse what exactly is happening or what i should be doing with my upgrades. I don't really know what a SYNTH is and my attention span isn't going to let me read the handbook to figure it out, you know? Upgrades were interesting, though i wish i could have picked up and moved or sold my towers, not sure if i could or not but i never figured out how.
I could see me wasting a lot of time on a game like this, it's visually interesting with a good gameplay depth, great entry! i gotta take a star off for ai use personally, but this is strong and you should run with it c:
