A short little romp. Hold the "X" button and see the enemies being smashed. Automate your invasion by hiring troopers. Jazz it up with a bunch of other upgrades.
This game is for Web Desktop only, not playable on the phone.

done it all and enjoyed doing so thanks
Me: I will click the button saying "I will not invade Mars."
Game: What button?
Because why not. (to the title)
Finished the game! Short and sweet. Loved the monster design! For optimal play, always choose x2 and trees

But why DID you invade Mars???
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: The comment is unnecessarily mean, especially questioning my reasoning, when all that your feedback comes down to is that some of the numbers could be better balanced - provided that my goal was to have both types of play (active/more passive) have the same efficiency.
The reasoning that you so struggle to understand is elementary, really - if you are actively pressing the button, you finish the game faster. If you sit back and have some of the things automated, they're a bit less effective. I don't see a massive problem with that.
And nothing in the game incentivizes you to finish it as quickly as possible. I don't have a timer in there, I don't provide additional benefits if you finish it faster.
Finally, the stuff you point out can be fixed by simply playing around with the RG percentage in the special offer. I can make it lower and see how the game feels.
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.
