“A nice little midmorning snack, as Admiral Cain said. Has remarkably more substance to it than it might seem, plus, easy on the eyes and sounds nice. Doesn't last all that long and has its faults but all in all has a pretty damn good run.”

“A nice minimal RTS that's easy to get into and play. It's a bit TOO minimal at times but y'know, I just can't stop breeding these white squares... yeah, I'll write that.”
