Great little game, I have it on Android. Very short, tho.

Been waiting on this. Can't wait to play it.

Awesome game, one of perhaps 3 iOS games I really loved last year. I played this as much as any other game I've ever played on my iPad, I just couldn't stop replaying it.

I got it for free on Vita, and enjoyed it for a few hours.

Me too. I managed to research the four monoliths in about 60 minutes and survived over 28 waves. Never got around to trying for a sub-45 minute run. Are there more missions than that on the PS Mobile version? It's a fun little game!

What, this was on Vita and was free for a while? Wasn't it an iPhone game?

It only has a few hours of playability, but they are so well spent. It feels like traveling back in time to 2009 when indie games were basically one decent-good idea wrapped in a serviceable game.

I keep it on my Vita for the soundtrack. And it's a nice pallet cleanser imo.

It was first released on the Vita and then later on to iOS. I guess there's an Android version as well.

Really enjoyed it when I played the iOS version so I'll definitely get the PC version. I might buy it off of their official site to check out the bonus game that's included.

Yes to both hehe it was free on Vita but it's a PlayStation Mobile game so some countries are screwed as that service is not available globally. I have it on my iPhone and got it today for my PC and my Mac laptop. The soundtrack and the first waves are just so relaxing for me. It's deceiving though. You think you'll just pick it up for a few minutes and next thing you know you've been playing it for half an hour.

Just to pull this one from limbo with a praising review from Alec Meer from RPS in hopes that others give this little gem a chance.

I installed the android version a few days ago after picking it up on Humble Bundle ages ago. So so awesome, I went and bought the Steam version straight away! I'm not a big RTS gamer, but are there any other games anyone would recommend that's similar to this? I really like that it's not too complicated.

It was a christmas giveaway. Vita version seems to have just updated today to add a 'plus' mode and a 'zen' mode. I think these were from the pc version.

Wanted to chime in, this game is very slick and polished. The music too. Its just very tight, the mechanics are tuned well. I play it for an hour at a time, then I screw up as my base is over-run.

So cool it got an update.

I also got it free for my PSV like back in June E3.
