Simple, original and addictive. Top marks. More levels please.
The projection of the enemy’s path is very handy. Could I suggest that it also takes into account the transporters, and changes the path accordingly in the preview. Also, the ability to have more than 1 path visible at a time would be a good option for more complex levels (maybe click to toggle on/off)

Clever game – Portal-like mind benders. I found wave 5 especially tough. I like the ending, but should that word be in quotes?

great idea for a game! need more levels, possibly a bigger field…
I really like this simple yet challenging puzzle game. If you port this to Flash you could probably get it sponsored and/or include MochiAds to make a few grand.
I not sure if it just me or not but I think the game is pretty easy because of how limited of choices you have. You only given the needed ships (never more then needed) also you given a limited amount of space so you just have to look at the other ship path to see where it go.
The needed amount of ships is the main thing that make it easy. If you are given a puzzle and the person said “you have all the items needed to do the puzzle” then you can pretty much guess your way by having more then needed, you can drive the person crazy.
Compare to SoS 64 and the other games, this is the easiest one.

Any chance of a level creator, and maybe a couple more units for either side?

Very cool !
You should make it longer and more complex. I like the idea of using wormholes

Very intelligent and original puzzlegame. Way too short, though!

very goo game.
a good evolution of it could be a game with rounds were you can add a figure after every move for each camp. But maybe the planet would not be destroyed by only one ship.
This evolution could lead you to some kind of board game you could even commercialized physically.
maybe a planet on each camp would be nice.
also the possibility to play with a limited number of ships but you can repair them.

Yes, “Earth” should be in quotes. “Earth” is an unfamiliar word to them, one they are quoting off “Humans”.
