comments for Why did you invade Mars?
sort: go back
Honestly, the special offers I've encountered kind of suck.
A x3 or x7 boost for manual damage? This raises the restart goal by 5%. If I take the doubling 4 times I get a x16 boost for manual damage and it raises the restart goal by less than 5%, and it only takes a bit of extra time (bonus points for extra undead). Why would I ever take a gamble that's not worth it even if I were to win?
Troops are also kind of trash, basically requiring you to hunt specifically for the bigger upgrades. It's better to just take a 1% RG increase for a reroll than accept a mere doubling of damage when there's a x5 in the same pool.
As with most games made by this developer I wonder what his vision is for what he makes. Rarely can I imagine the reasoning.
developer response: I'm just having fun and experimenting.
i like it when it said it's mars invadin' time and i proceeded to invade mars all over the place
similar progression to demigod pretty good
i beat it? (there's nothing to do now, i have all 3 reincarnation artefacts)
Fun game. I think just doing 2x for X is the best strategy, but I kept upgrading my soldiers.
After going through all reincarnations, playing the game in various ways (manual power, troops, both), I have to say that I like using the manual power more than the troops. They seem to be very weak even with the upgrades.
developer response: Yep, that's true. The benefit of troopers is more passive gameplay.
my x key is in pain
i have TRULY broken the game, GG!

please continue updating this
developer response: Thank you for this! I def might try to work more with balance, but I also had ideas around using trees for something else, like for building houses.
Might be interesting if the game can branch out into something else. Say, this could be a new reincarnation upgrade, which gives you the ability to terraform Mars.
Finished the game! Short and sweet. Loved the monster design! For optimal play, always choose x2 and trees
fun lil gizmo
If I put on Superman by Goldfinger in the background and hold X, it makes a horrible noise. I'm on Firefox on Mac. Why can't I listen to my ska (which is not dead)?
Also, every single game you make is awesome.
I think I broke the game.

The first 42 letters of the last guy's save matches with mine
What a question.
also how many reincarnation artefacts do you have?
louigi verona's games:
- satisfying sounds
- cool progression
- well, good
developer response: Thank you for the kind words! <3
Few things I'd like to nitpick.
1. The growth rate of RG cost is not accurate. I mean it is what it says... plus 100%. This makes the goal cose way too expensive.
2. Trees do almost nothing in the late game. You can see why in the next thing.
3. The "Attack a Wave" upgrade cost grows way too slow. In the midgame forward, all you have to do is attack a wave with the horde of undead you have. And the "Bare Bones" gift makes this even worse.
4. It's much easier to spam 2x reset than to get a special offer.
5. I was confused about what to do at the beginning because the description was too vague. I eventually figured out that you have to press the X key. Not button, key.
6. The story is very weird. You go to Mars (for some unknown reason) just to fight aliens. First of all, why not build a civilization? You spent so much time (not)! Second, why do the aliens just stop. And why are there just one of each alien?
That's all I have to say.
developer response: I was actually thinking of branching out into a building aspect as well. Using trees to build houses and so on. I could still do it in the future! It turned into a nifty little game.
But why DID you invade Mars???
