complicated

I like all three types of games, but this does not do a good job of combining them, building a factory is not a race game, its take your time and plan best how to layout the factory, This gives you 3 minutes and rushes you...tower defence is a bit of a stretch as its a simple as you need X production to beat this level and if you don't have it you will lose.

So in a nut shell, this game is a race factory game that has check points every three minutes and if you have not built exactly the right stuff...you lose.

The factory portion becomes easier if you turn on the option to build while paused.

This. However, you also miss out on an achievement if you don't go through without it at least once which is easiest done on the first run through.

hmm, I will try the pause thing as I wanted to like this game, but i didnt like the rush aspect of it. Thanks.

You can think of it as a factory game with timed targets
I like it because Factorio is too overwhelming, and the timed targets make me redo the easy stuff again and again.

There is also a strategy layer on what units to produce. That's nice too.
