It's a strategy-game! ...didn't see that one coming :)

Love the level-design. I wonder if it's procedural or chosen from a few pre-made ones. Also, nice choice of music!

The text at the top of the screen doesn't work though, it registers as "noise". You are focused on the middle of the screen, in all its graphical and animated glory.

Also: "Come to the devmania"? An 4th-wall-breaking ad, which 99% of players can't make use of since they aren't near it? C'mon!

matthias_zarzecki 2012-08-27 21:19

Then I remembered I forgot to wire the entry-fee for the Devmania as I was horribly broke the last months and wanted to wait for as long as possible and was then swept away in Ludum Dare. Oh well

ratking 2012-08-27 22:44

Haha, well, it's good that the text at the bottom is just "noise" - otherwise it would be annoying, as it's there for atmosphere, not for real information.
Yeah, the Devmania may be out of scope for most people, but then again it's sad that this little convention doesn't get the attention it used to. So why not inviting others to have a look at it?

Very cool game!

I couldn't play, after installing unity web player it just say to install unity web player

blundis 2012-08-28 19:11

Same as kevincorrigan. I do have the Unity web player (just used it to play another entry). Reinstalling does not help.

robcozzens 2012-08-28 19:12

Fantastic graphics!

william_edwards 2012-08-28 19:12

@kevincorrigan me too :(

ratking 2012-08-28 19:13

Strange, I guess Dropbox is the culprit? Did you try Ctrl+F5?

raroadkill 2012-08-28 19:13

Very fun game. a quick selection button on the screen would have been nice. something to let you move everyone at once

pickledbrain 2012-08-28 19:16

Having the only way to move my robots was to make them patrol drove me nuts. But I like the graphics and I love the concept.

ratking 2012-08-28 19:23

@PickledBrain: You mean only right-clicking works?

william_edwards 2012-08-28 19:45

Chrome won't do Unity on HTTPS links; just change the dropbox link to HTTP and it'll play in Chrome.

Nice graphics and game play - really enjoyed it!

ratking 2012-08-28 20:00

@Will Edwards: Wow, thanks for the information!

entrusc 2012-08-28 20:16

really good game - but needs some more elements I think to make it more lasting fun. The basic idea is really great! Fancy graphic/artwork!

killerbug 2012-08-28 20:34

The rooms look really great. I first tried playing without freeze time and I failed horribly haha. It plays really smooth though. Well done :)

accidentalrebel 2012-08-29 07:18

I guess the pausing mechanic is the same as the one in Dragon Age? I can see the effort that was placed on making the pathfinding work. I wish I could select more than one unit though. Still, a good game!

amodo 2012-08-29 11:48

Really impressive accomplishment code, gfx&music wise. Now you'll have to finish it :D

mach60kas 2012-08-29 16:10

Really liked this game! Seeing an RTS was really quite unexpected for me, but everything's been done really well with this! Great job! :)

eni 2012-08-29 17:39

Really polished experience. Selecting multiple units and them being able to overlap paths would be nice. Also, some of the levels generated are extremely hard to impossible.

ramoncb 2012-08-29 19:57

Amazing strategy game! Very complex and polished! Congratulations! =O

pickledbrain 2012-08-30 22:08

Ahh. My bad. Yes I thought only the right mouse button moved the robots. Much better now :)

hirsch 2012-08-31 15:02

I really enjoyed playing this game. A 'select all' Button would be great. Overall it's a nice and fun game :)

william_edwards 2012-09-01 18:55

I absolutely love it!

This game is firing my imagination and giving me ideas for what I want to make next LD and how I want it to feel. Thank you very much.

codexus 2012-09-01 19:43

Very nice tactical shooter! Impressive amount of content for a jam game. The gameplay ends up being a bit simplistic considering all the different types of units you had to play with. Good music too.

thewiseguy99 2012-09-02 23:21

Great graphics, very fun game to play. Smooth and polished. Loved this game.

kibertoad 2012-09-03 22:24

Game of epic proportions!

galman 2012-09-08 12:49

Nice strategy game! Looks like a full game wich can be sold with only few improvments :-)

tcstyle 2012-09-17 19:26

Looks pretty great. Very steep difficulty curve. Amazingly complex for a LD game.

pardue 2012-09-17 20:45

Awesome game, great graphics, fun to play, I am really impressed.
