Pretty cool game... kind of Factorio meets tower defense and twinstick shooter. Playable in also in browser. See:

Looks fascinating but suffers from a problem I encounter in browser games... using 'wasd' invokes searching for text on the page. Probably an option in firefox but I am not reconfiguring my browser in order to play games.

Really? WASD works on my Firefox 57.0.4 under Linux in this game. Maybe some extension you have installed?

Anyways, this also works outside the browser via the desktop packages and also under Android, so you should be able to try it there.

Wow. This is a great game I overlooked. Just downloaded it and it's a really great tower defense game, and a nice twist on the formula. I've added this to my list of libre game recommendations.

good game. although I find it difficult to learn to play and they destroy me right away, I can not get enough resources or create a better defense.

Bumping this for the new releases (4.0 Build 92 at time of posting).

I haven't been this impressed by a game for some time. It runs well, looks and sounds great, feels polished, nice tutorial... this is probably the best impression I've had from an open source game since Battle for Wesnoth.
