<a href="http://www.slimesalad.com/forum/viewgam ... 82">BABIES vs ROBOTS</a> was simple enough that it came off as more of a tech demo than a game.

That being said, it is a kinda cool little tech demo, with a funny premise. I think if I had any advice for Spoonweaver, it would be to try modifying this game so that you have to click each baby individually, and set a destination point for it individually. I think micromanaging the babies in this way would make it more fun, and would more accurately reflect the RTS experience (at least as I know it, from hours of frantic Zerg-clicking)

In spite of this game's simplicity, I believe it will wear the mantle of "First OHRRPGCE RTS" with honor, and I hope it is not the last RTS attempted (even jokingly) with the engine.

The game may become unwinnable after a certain amount of time, but I have a hard time believing you could lose the game before losing your patience.

On your encouragement, I played again. 52 seconds to win, robots killed 5, babies lost 12.

Oh the Humanity!
