I have been working on a small game for the last few months. It is ready for playtesting. I am trying to make one game every few months to improve my skills.

Unfortunately I think I have hit a bit of a wall with this one, the gameplay is a bit too linear and simple to be very fun. That's a signal in itself and will inform the design of my next game. In the meantime, I need to finish polishing this one.

Please play with a critical eye and let me know what issues the game has.

EDIT: If you have the time, please consider DM'ing me with a screen recording of your gameplay. I think it would help a lot :)

Yeah solar flares cause the VCR static. I'm glad you liked the explosions, my intention was that if your base gets destroyed it should at least be fun to watch the explosions chain and destroy everything. It sounds like some of the visual queues aren't obvious, people aren't picking up on the solar flare, so I will add an audio queue and maybe text that literally says "SOLAR FLARE" when one happens lol.

The Lenin radius is something other people have mentioned, so I will go ahead and increase it.
