A new alpha gameplay video is available through the break, showing off the latest build, and Loading has asked for feedback via its forums.

Rymdkapsel takes the complication out of RTS
Rymdkapsel, a highly unusual RTS effort for Vita and PS Mobile certified devices, is headed to the PlayStation Store for $5 later this month.
