This is my absolute favorite kongregate game now! Thank you for the late badge, i would never have found that gem! I love especially how you get totally surprised on the first play how the second half of the game works (won't spoil here) and - keep an eye, or better an ear on it - how the music fits to it! 6 our of 5 stars, *crying of joy*
And whoever cries because you can't reach the badge: restart the game and do the first half with the second in mind and you won't get problems, but try solving your first gameplay before, you get a great feeling from doing it, even if it takes some time, it's worth it!
The game starts getting totally buggy between turn 600 and 800 somewhere... you just reach a point where you get thousands of techpoints out of nowhere and it's absolutely boring after that. please correct that, the leaderbord is useless this way.
