I tried this one, but I delayed watching the stream so I could figure out how to win the maps before watching them. Anyway, I'm through it now. Big difficulty spike in that third mission. Thanks for letting me know about this one. Love what you're doing.
The problem and probably elephant in the room with this game is that it comes across as merely a knockoff/ripoff game, not an indie game. Yes they have their own sprites, but the whole feel, artstyle, art direction and core gameplay design is totally taken from Advance Wars - so it's a "conceptual ripoff". For myself this one here goes past the "inspired by" and more towards simply being a ripoff by following Advance Wars. I am sure a lot of work went into the spritework, which feels to me even more bitter as literally no work was put into it conceptually and all just went into making a bigger resolution. Too many areas are "inspired" by AW and too few unique ideas have been added. I don't need a gameplay wise slightly worse and less cooked version of Advance wars just with updated graphics. I would gladly play anything which at least has some differentiation.

It’s official - there are no new ideas left
