I thought this game was well known but I haven't seen almost any mentions of it recently. It's very weird for a FOSS enthusiast not to advertise one of the best open-source games of all time so here I am trying to make it spoken about again.

Thanks. Just picked it up on f-droid. Last update was 14 months ago, so I guess it's been balanced to perfection.

Awesome. I loved playing WC3 tower defense. How does this compare to those old school maps?

Well not really difficult, after you realize that you can put down buildings while on pause. The first few levels are easy tower defence... Later on you can win every level by building mid tier flying robots (iirc). Still... Great game!

There are definitely some maps on the new planet where I seemingly realized that pausing was strictly necessary as the waves start overwhelming the defenses and units to the point that I either run out of resources or they somehow sneak one drone in that wrecks havoc on the supply lines that are already packed with not enough space to add the turrets that can deal with the advanced units. Eventually, it really became a race to finish as fast as possible. Also, the staggered unlocks or limited resources on some maps were brutal.
