Does everything that needs sounds have sounds?

• menu clicks
• shooting noises
• enemy sounds
• menu music and game music

Core Gameplay Loop Solid

• what are the enemies like?
• how hard is it to kill them?
• how fast do the tanks move?
• how much HP does everything have
• is it fun?
• upgrades to feel satisfying
• tweak enemy firing types (spread vs tight)

Graphical Stuff

• very simple HUD elements
• clear UI for all the available actions
• everything is easy to identify
• HUD element for selected unit

User Experience

• make it obvious how spawns work and make 
the spawning of units process simple
