    The game is a little hard to understand but I can tell playing the free portion maybe a couple of times will help explain the game... Quite intrigued by the game as it provides a fairly good amount of variety.

    Did you check out the guide I posted a link to earlier? It explains a lot of the stuff I wished I had understood and had to work out early on.

    • Decreased AI soldiers' ability to evade danger without Radar
    • More credits awarded for the crisis missions
    • Improved Raptor and Sycamore Layouts

    Thanks! I sent you guys an email about lowering the iOS requirement! Already bought the 5.99 IAP on my phone (ios 9), waiting anxiously to play it on my ipad( ios 8)! Good luck with the game and thanks again!

    I like the game a lot. I wish this had a "pvp" mode, like when you build a tower and attack other players towers while they are offline or whatever other way this is possible. Any other games like this with a "pvp" aspect?

    I'm glad that more users will get to try this game! :)
    (Also glad for the AI nerf as their dodging was too op)

    It's a nice game, I think I finished level 10 or so, but the amount of micromanagement required can get extremely tedious. Example: when the enemy has defenses up, the best way to penetrate is to fire a large amount of projectiles at the same time. Some will go through. So for that you need to pause, "hold fire" on each weapon individually, wait for them to load, pause, remove "hold fire" so they all shoot together, then pause, and again "hold fire" for them again. Repeat. On top of that when enemies fire at you it's a good option to pause and start moving your little dudes around. So I dunno. Not sure if I'm enjoying this as I would like to. Will push on and see.

    Totaly agree. I may buy the iap to support the dev for a well thought game but i do not know if i am ever gonna finish it. Soooooo much micromanagement it becomes a bit frustrating after a while.

    Is there a way to issue a similar command to all your weapons? That would make things less tedious. You can, for example, select multiple soldiers by drawing a square however I think it would have been very useful if you could issue all cannons to hold fire, shoot flash bangs (where available), etc. it would remove some of the tedioum of having to select each individually. Currently, I think I'm pretty much done, the micromanagement is too much for me.

    I agree wholeheartedly. Except I replace "frustrating" with "awesome" ;)

    I'm loving this game. Good little stoyline, loving the "FTL-esque" vibe. A little too small on my 5s, however. Really glad for the lowered ios requirement, so I can start playing on my ipad.

    Thanks, devs!

    This game is awesome!

    Since they lowered the requirement I'm going to go out and buy the Redcon1 iap pack. These devs deserve it. (And I hope they make a Reaper 2 someday..)

    I finished 11% of the campaign and can't see myself moving forward - it's just so tedious now -- click a cannon, click hold fire, click a cannon, click hold fire etc about 4 times. All cannons loaded? So now repeat this process just release the hold fire. Volley is off? Do it all again by giving the command to each cannon individually. I'm sorry but this isn't awesome. In the earlier levels it's not such an issue but later on, oh boy.

    A much better solution in my opinion would be that instead of having the rectangle you draw to select multiple soldier, would have it select cannons instead and commands they have in common would be displayed. Regrettably, as much as I want to love this game, I just can't currently.

    Have to say I am really enjoying this, it can be a little frustrating at times when you come across an opponent with a different strategy and takes a little time for you to adapt your own in response, I've bought the Redcon 1 expansion with all the extras and although it doesn't make things any easier you do get some additional resources.

    I'd really like to be able to toggle hold fire for all cannons at once, that'd massively improve the game for me.

    Not sure what camp I fall in yet. So far I've enjoyed playing the game and although i agree with the comments of micromanaging, I also see some if this as strategy sign deciding which weapons to use in different circumstances etc... I'm leaving to buy the iap to support the developer busy again still undecided if the micromanaging will get a annoying or not?
