Difficulty ramps up a bit too quickly for my taste.

The game is very fun and provides lots of replayability. That being said I believe that the game throws you into the deep end at the start. A quick tutorial could fix this perhaps. Overall this is a great game and I hope you keep making great games such as this.

This game is really fun, a bit too hard after the 5th wave though.

first and foremost I really love the music and the plot / topic of extinction is super fun to play in. this could be my lack of video game instincts but right off the bat seeing the flashing wave timer ticking down and all of the UI had me a bit overwhelmed. eventually though I started to get the point. also I really love the fact that I can build ships wherever I like, coupled with the fact that the ships interact with one another, those two things really give the game a ton of personality and drive. definitely hard to put down. I also am attending this jam and if you could spare a moment, I would love to get your opinion on what I made.
