Aaah, the memories of X-Com are strong here. =D Very fun game, nothing like the feeling you get when you complete the mission with the troopers you have holding of the aliens on their last clips. Would never have known it was your first game if you hadn't said it, easy 5/5.

personally im against the undo button. the misclicking can me solved my haveing a confirm mode: first click shows you the path the character will take, clicking again will move him. since many wont want that delay make it optional for those who are prone to misclicking and dont want it, me I think of it as not everyone doing everything right under time pressure and just tough out the results: makes the game more fun imo.

Really enjoying it. Love the helpful details like the popup warnings on the 'End Turn' button, that prevent you ruining a whole level by forgetting something silly like reloading. Like the way the initial levels are straightforward enough, but the difficulty ramps up towards the end. Suggestion: highlight the help button at the end of the tutorial - there's valuable info in there. Also, minor gripe: would be helpful to have a recap of the mission orders in there, for those longer "do a then b and then c" briefings, they can be a bit confusing the first time you play a level. But still, 5/5.

I investigated some and realized that this is your first game. This is also one of the funnest game I've played lately. Not only is it fun, but it's pretty well thought-out. I can't wait to see your work when you add experience to your skills. I'm convinced that you could rake-up monthly prizes.
Looking forward to your other submissions, but for the time being, I need a diamond medal on each mission.

I love how quickly the aliens move! It adds intensity and momentum. I've only payed to level 3 so far, and I'm liking it.

This game continues to be awesome. But don't put an undo button. Even when games have a "can't undo if you discover something" feature, the fact you can undo there shows you that there is nothing in that direction.

Fun game, but desperately needs an undo feature so you don't have to start the whole level over if you mismove one unit.

Possibly one of the best games on Kogregate! Very indepth and strategic. What it lacks is more variety, such as, choosing weapons and armor types before every mission.. lighter equipment means more mp heavier means more damage or AP, savvy? So we can have a team adjusted to our liking.. THIS GAME NEEDS AN EXPANSION! It's too good not to have more features ;)

The diamond challenges are great. I had a blast getting it done for 11. I started it off wondering how you could ever get to the SW switch and back in 12 moves and of course the answer was Taylor with the shotty, there and back in 8 or 9.

Still a few typos: "If the Lieutenant dies, you will loose the mission", and referring to the lieutenant as "he" when I'm playing a woman. Still well worth 5/5.

Alternate way to get Gold Challenge III: "Get Gold with 10 skill points", skills: Armor Upgrade I & II, Larger Ammo Magazine I, Ammo Upgrade I (10 points).. just play on Hard, since finishing successfully gives Gold medal automatically, if you can finish quickly with less damage you can even get Ruby or Diamond. Finished in 11 turns with no casualties. (I think this way takes all of the challenge out of Gold Challenge III though)

awesome man, well done. the music is great too, the dark ominous stuff sets the scene. the only thing i think needs fixing is wat some others said, an undo button would be great for when u walk into a space u didnt mean to click. but dude, 5/5

Small typo, it says in the log whenever Taylor reloads that "Taylor reloads his machine gun." It should be "her", not "his".

Your first flash game? I would call this an impressive title even from a veteran flash game maker. Favorited and 5-starred. Well done!

I really like this game. I must do otherwise I wouldn't still be up playing it at 4am.... One complaint, though: getting the diamond awards seems to be mostly about being lucky with the aliens, because acid on the floor will either slow you down (so you fail) or hurt you (so you fail). OK, so you can use the shield to get over a puddle, but you're pretty likely to get another puddle before the shield cooldown expires.
You have several solutions against the acid puddles : the shield + nanolongevity, the flamethrower and Pierce's explosive bombs remove the acid puddles. Using those 3 skills, we never failed to get a diamond award during the tests as far as we're concerned.

first started didnt get to enjoy yet but already see that the whole convo tutorial doesnt fit on screen please fix that. Some people will judge and just leave seeing that they cant read some of the words in tutorial: i had to guess a shortcut for endturn.

Why does this remind me of Doom (The movie)? Space mission (mars in movie), Aliens (mutants), 6 man squad, and going on search and destroy, and rescue missions. 'Nuff said.

Regards the final mission, the fact that the boss can spawn next/close to your guys, makes it much harder. It's impossible to escape taking damage when it happens, it happened to me and my poor guy was forced to sit still and take 50 damage and got covered in a 3x3 square of acid. I still got the diamond, but it makes it harder.. maybe the boss shouldn't attack/auto-attack(when moving close) if you've already damaged that turn?
That should be the case already : if you have damaged the creature during your turn, you can move around it without being hurt. But it will attack at its turn.

medii: I almost felt that way when I failed a diamond because I clicked too quickly and one of my guys ran over a pool of acid partially concealed behind a wall and the trooper, taking damage. It would be easy to abuse though, we have limited flashlight range, random hitchances etc, so what sort of things would be ok to undo and what wouldn't? - I ended up redoing the mission to get the diamond.
