My 4th Flash game. Drone Wars is a small game idea I had 5 years ago, but never finished. I originally drew the ships as pixel sprites. But with Flash I vectorized everything and it all took about 3 months part-time, which is the longest and most complicated Flash game I've made so far.

Sucked, but probably wouldn't without this glitch:

This game looked like it was going to be good. But, A FREAKIN' GLITCH COULDN'T LET ME PLAY IT!!!!!! I'm sorry for yelling. Whenever I clicked on the mothership, it would show the building stuff for probably 1 frame or so, and instantly deselect it, detaining me from playing this game. Please please fix this. I gave it an 8 cuz if it made the front page, it'd be good, but not 10 since I can't play it.

WOOT

this game is AWESOME!!!!!!

the only thing i can think of to make it better is a difficulty level for survival and the choice of resource managing - 100 ore a level is not enough

one of the bests...

One of the bests RTS I've played here on newgrounds.
if I say that, that means
- I played it for at least 30 mins without saying "pfff boring"
- the game was easy to understand, no need to read long instructions or just having to discover it all by yourself

only "down"side I found was the cash you get after each wave in survival.... you should give us more cash, because I started with one cruiser, then 2, and so on. I could only spend my cash on cruisers, 3 repair drones and then just control drones...
okay, I did survive quite long because of this, but I'd have prefered being able to build out a kickass squadron composed of all kinds of drones... (even if that would mean I'd get crushed sooner or later... but that's what survivals are about no?)
