I play this more than the main game. This is the "three ex" mode meaning there is 3 times more enemy sends per wave, but you start with 200minerals. It's extremely fun and relaxing, I play this when I watch movies / shows or long youtube videos as it doesn't take much concentration. 

The Rules of the game is pretty simple:
Each round you have around a minute to build units, after the timer runs down the wave spawns and you can't build anymore until the round completes. If you leak or fail to kill all the units in the wave they go to the center where your team mates surviving units will be along with the Security (giant thor), if the enemy units break through and destroy the Security Stronghold you lose. 

Each wave you can also spend your gas to send units to the opposing side which will make it harder for them to successfully defend the wave. You can also spend gas to upgrade your Security Stronghold so it can defend itself during harder waves.

Each time you send units to the opposing side or upgrade the stronghold you gain "income" which is the amount of minerals you get at the end of each wave. You can spend these minerals to build units OR to upgrade your gas facility to increase your income faster.

Sorry for there be no commentary, the game is a bit complex to explain, it's something you have to play a few games until you get the hang of it, but there is a LOT of strategy that goes into it and is loads of fun, and extremely high replay ability.

If only someone could make this a stand-alone game
