This is my favourite game on the site. Easy enough to get started quickly, but hard enough to force you to change your tactics over time. Well done!

Finally, finally, finally..... it must have taken 75 attempts to get the Diamond 12. And when I did it was zero damage.... lol.

Please please PLEASE release a sequel. This is a grand game. Its attention to detail, its thematics, its game balance are superb. It deserves a grand followup.

Top of my playlist, I'm coming back now to get the Diamond medals. This game is really cool, and is one of the best "Aliens" inspired games I have played.

This game is so amazing - so simple and so hard at the same time. How is it possible that such an awesome game has so low rating? If you don't like tactial games, go play strikeforce kitty...

Nice, impossble badge :) . Getting the diamond score on level 11 was pretty tough, maybe even harder than beating challenge VI.

Not much of a plot and lack of variety in enemy units... But still a very solid tactical game. Combat is intense and relentless. Really impressive for their first game.

About the aliens : They have 6 MP. They come out from the ventilation grids, so always have your troopers away from them and you should be ok !

5/5 A very personal minus point is the +AP abilities, which I happen not to like, but I wish there were more games like this

Very challenging and addictive! Very rewarding to complete challenges or get medals. Allthough I just supprised myself by doing challenge 5 with only 10 turns... =O

Hmm. I just got the gold on Mission 8 with only 2 skill points, but I didn't get the Challenge 2 badge. Is it a typo on the badge, do I need less than 2 skill points, or a bug? :(

This game is tough! Reading this in the description, "All missions can be won in gold the first time." is very discouraging to me because I get bronze on every mission I complete, and I have to go back and retry atleast a half-dozen times to get anything better.

Jolly Adam Roger: except for the first (tutorial) level you can only get ruby and diamond if you play it on hard. For that to be possible you need to finish the game first to unlock hard mode and then play the level on hard.

I've completed level 2 in 5 turns without taking any damage whatsoever, and the game refuses to give me the ruby badge even though it states that I need to finish the level in under 6 turns and take less than 20 damage. Either their is a typo in the description, or the game is broken.

Here is the specs of the tentacle enemies on the last mission, for those of you having troubles. These are observations from the hard difficulty. A tentacle can attack you during your turn if you try to move a trooper who is currently 2 spaces away from one, but any other action is okay. During the alien turn, the tentacles have longer range, but can only attack BEFORE they change position. The orange 100 HP tentacles have 3 range, the boss tentacle has 5 range. They can't see through walls, so use those 3 little walls in the middle of the map to hide behind after you damage it. If they have 2 troopers within their attack range, they will attack both of them. The boss tentacle makes 7 hexes of acid when it attacks, but only when it attacks on the alien turn. The magnet bomb effect can block the tentacles' line of sight, and it doesn't interfere with Pierce's bomb throwing. Very handy.

Really good tactics game. Global tips: movement is far more important than defense. Best defense is let the aliens move to you - they are faster so use that against them. Check their attack range before you move your troops and remember exploding aliens have an extra hex of range. Going into alert mode with any trooper generally means poor tactical choice in that round - try to set a plan that avoids using it. Farro is sometimes okay because of sentinel, but his flamer is too valuable to restrict once the exploding aliens show up. Taylor's sprint should be used liberally, save Blake movement buff for emergencies. Woods' powers almost useless except accuracy buff if you know you'll have a tough shot that round. Mag mines are the best chokepoint defender - fire and forget that corridor for up to 3 turns! Never ever leave any soldier near a vent.
