This was quite a fun little game.  I like how the meteors give you something to do while the factories do their thing.  The hitboxes on the meteors also felt nice and generous.  Probably would just like there to be more to do.  My strategy was pretty simple: get one speed upgrade as quickly as possible and then just have nothing but factories/gas refineries/whatever i need till the end.

Fun game and I like the style/aesthetic! Agree with what others have said regarding difficult control at higher speeds and vehicle blending into buildings. Otherwise, great game!

Really dig the simple aesthetic and music! The game plays great. I think the meteors should be a little larger, as it's really hard to hit them once you have that max speed upgrade. I think the design of the ship should be a little different as well since it blends in with the buildings due to the limited color palette. Overall, well done!

I had a lot of fun playing this one.  Great vibes and well put together little game.

this was really neat, it was like a combination of genres between missile command and an idle game! it was really interesting like this, it felt like there were more stakes involved on both ends, which made it work super well. i loved the aesthetic you chose to go with for this game, too. there’s a lot of games nowadays that try to go for a retro aesthetic, but you never see anything that tries to replicate this specific era. i would like to second how it’s a little difficult to stay precise at higher speeds, but honestly, i kind of like the difficulty increase as you get later into the game like this. cool stuff and great job!

I liked this game, it was simple to pick up and I was able to complete it. The music during the meteor showers was really cool and I enjoyed listening to it! I found the speed to be a little too fast once I fully upgraded so I couldn’t gain precision if I managed to be super close to the meteor but not quite there. Perhaps a slight interpolation of the speed from 0 to the max would help with precision a little bit.

Great work! I loved missile command as a kid and love the inspiration you took from it. I really enjoyed being able to building my resources, getting that connection to the environment around me, and then giving it my all to defend it. Nice job!

Okay so I had a run going for a few minutes before I finally got the strategy. Restarted and got the a clean run! That was a fun time. Only critique is that I understand the vision of emulating an older style game, but some things like the overlapping of a meteor, building, and the vehicle get particularly messy. Overall, great job!

I enjoyed my time with Colony Defense! It felt good to build up the colony full of factories. In a future version, I'd like to see a black outline around the vehicle so that it can stand out a bit against the buildings. It also might help to remove the engineering building mechanic in favor of having an upgrade panel always displayed on the bottom of the screen. Maybe you could upgrade fire rate, bullet size, spray, etc. Finally, I'd like to see the defender mode be a bit more difficult! It might be neat to see meteorites of different sizes and speeds, and to have meteorites spawn constantly instead of having discrete waves for building and defending.

I tried so hard and got so far but in the end I couldn't build the plasma shield.

So fun! Took me a while to get the hang of the mode switch, maybe its a little buggy if you switch too fast and press the action button? idk maybe it's my fault. But really liked the game. it was lots of fun. Would love the building no to be the same color as the player since it made it so difficult to find some times.
But overall a really fun little game. Congratulations!

Took me a while to get the controls but after that it was good. 

I really really like this, and had a great time playing. I love the idea - it hits that feeling an idle game (cookie clicker, etc.) gives you while also adding in more interactive, "game-y" elements. There's so much potential to build this out some more...I think you have a successful idea here.

My two pieces of constructive feedback from my playtime would be:

• I feel like the player character blends into the buildings created, making it hard to keep track of where you are. Making the buildings or the character a more contrasting colour would solve this.
•  Once I upgraded my Defender once, the rest of my time playing felt quite easy (I didn't feel the need to purchase any more upgrades). A revisit to the dificulty curve for future iterations may be required.

Really good job though, and well done! :D

I like this! The graphics feel clean and the music is epic. The gameplay loop is good and stuff too. My only problem was that the control layout feels a little strange but that was fine and just took a minute to get used to
