Very cool little game! Although stylistically fitting, I'd chosen another font, as this one is a little bit hard to read. Seems already pretty polished, the story / gameplay transitions do give major oldschool command & conquer vibes! I really liked that holding down attack also worked (although the sound gave up then, which is fine, given your "single attack sound" would be pretty tough on the ears especially with a headset. Should make some kind of sound though, maybe an electric humming or something of that caliber). I was a bit disappointed that my minions had ranged attacks and I didn't. Story was just the right kind of cheesy. If it were to be expanded I'd really like to see some more interactions with mission command aka the trainer? of Agent P - but that might be to heavily borrowed from the mission design of C&C.

Agent P is a goddamn hero! Great use of the theme and I loved the overall presentation. The AI used for the cutscenes didn't detract from the overall experience for me. I enjoyed controlling my roach army. Sometimes the roaches would get clustered and I'd get momentarily stuck. Enemies would also get stuck and sometimes stop attacking. I was able to circumnavigate the lasers by walking on the acid without taking damage. I also fell off the map in the "Survive" section of the tutorial by going too far north before the laser grids activated. The main level I didn't run into any major issues. Perry and the soldier roaches made short work of the enemies. Overall a very solid game!
