Great concept for a game! Hoping to see it expanded a bit more.

When there are too many units on the screen, they start shuffling around non stop and very quickly so its hard to select your units' abilities.

Fortunately, some of them got stuck in a corner long enough to select.

This is well made game but has a fatal error in its rate calculation. If

1. X makes 1 resource every 6 seconds, emits 6 pollutants every 6 seconds

2. Y makes 1 resource every 3 seconds, emits 3 pollutants every 3 seconds

then it is correct that together X and Y make 1/6 + 1/3 = 1/2 resource every second or 1 resource every 2 seconds.

But it is very incorrect that X and Y emit 9 pollutants every 2 seconds. (This is what the game does.)

Since both make 1 pollutant every second, X and Y emit 4 pollutants every 2 seconds.

To fix this, since the pollutants' rate is expressed at the same interval as resource generation, they must first be normalized to the target interval before adding.

X makes 6*2/6 = 2 pollutants every 2 seconds

Y makes 3*2/3 = 2 pollutants every 2 seconds

Together they make 2 + 2 pollutants every 2 seconds.

The more extreme example is when X is a normal resource maker and Y is both very fast and has no emissions. You'd expect emissions at the rate of X but the game will give you crazy amount of emissions.

Great concept! Oddball universe.

I don't understand how to play this game. It looks like all the levels are set up so you can go through it with a single combo. But the only level I can do that in is the last one. Even the first level I only managed to get onto the "jump and grind" once and then couldn't repeat it.
