The files are now fine. I had to move them to my shared folder =)

I also did some flocking stuff, so perhaps I'm a little biased...but this is really cool. Eventually I was playing at 1 fps and it never seemed to finish when I took everything, but still really interesting and fun game.

This was surprisingly addictive, it took however longer to finish because of how crazy laggy it got once I controlled about 50% of the field. Every time the swarm settled around a new node it would take quite a while before everything ran smooth again.

Thanks for feedback! I made some small tweaks, so now the game utilizes multiple cpu cores, so everything should run smoothly.

Really looks good. The instructions in the beginning were great help. :)

This was hard, but so much fun!

Hahaha this game is fantastic. Yet another game where technically simple graphics can be so aesthetically pleasing. It's clear that you really wanted the theme to be strength in numbers, but connected worlds works too. Really fun. Managed to beat it in about 10 mins.

I really love this game. The clean play with colors and shapes is pure eye candy. Well done!!

mechanicmoon 2014-08-26 16:07

Very good game, hard but fun

zathalos 2014-08-26 17:18

Decent game. Reminded me of the galcon games. I wish the game moved a little faster and I could send units in multiple directions. The first time I also got owned by orange. Overall I would say it's a good game.

Really great clean art work, perfect text choice. Enjoyable game play and all around great simple design

Know a similar game on Windows Phone Store, but this one is more complex and much harder. Nice work :)

julian_wodrazka 2014-08-26 20:40

Makes fun dude!

sekaru 2014-08-26 21:00

Nice and challenging. Could've done with a bit of music to help with the mood.

stmatn 2014-08-26 22:39

Yery nice game!
Had to play again after winning, because it feels quite nice to command those huge clusters of ships :)
I liked to zoom quite a bit out to have some overview, which made the station health unreadable, but thats no huge down point.
I can't tell you why, but I found the "OK" on the win screen quite funny :D
Very solid entry!

capsizedmoose 2014-08-26 22:50

sweet! I really like this!

slikker 2014-08-26 23:01

Really fun to play well done! I like the art style as well.

little-burrito 2014-08-27 00:00

Super cool RTS. It would have been nice to be able to split your units into smaller groups, but it's still a lot of fun the way it is - simple and tactical. Solid execution. I like it!

xandy 2014-08-27 00:06

nice take on the old game principle. good sound and graphics!

dragonxvi 2014-08-27 18:49

Pretty cool! Seemed to have to keep remaining my units to attack bases, and got absolutely curb-stomped by about 3 different teams at once :p But very well presented & nifty little RTS idea!

plaw 2014-08-27 18:49

I like the minimalistic presentation, looks polished.

nerd-burglars 2014-08-27 18:55

You are obviously a true gamer and your game shows that. EASY=BORING and CHALLENGING=FUN. Congrats on building a game hardcore gamers will enjoy!

dancingmad 2014-08-27 19:12

Really cool game, I love the visuals!

keymaster 2014-08-27 19:51

Damn this is amazing! Such a simple idea, yet really enjoyable gameplay. Took a bit to get a game going where I wasn't completely dominated by the AI but then it was just really fun to run around with a big cloud of units killing everything! Graphics were also really great and minimalistic, and the audio that was there was fitting as well. Really amazing entry!

ofursnati 2014-08-28 13:43

I like this game. It would be nice to split forces up but other than that a solid game.

szbeat 2014-08-28 18:30

Definitely the best game I've played so far and one of the few I kept playing after i beat it once. You should polish it and turn it into a real game (I would if I were you). There were scary moments where both I and the AI were pushing a base and I was just praying to god that I would take it. I'm not sure how you decide who wins it, if it's the one who's dealt the most damage that's great, if it's the one who last hits it that's bullshit. I ended up getting the base all the times so I don't care. Also splitting forces.

szbeat 2014-08-28 18:30

I won't leave a comment because I'm a douche.

shit

mechabit 2014-08-28 23:07

Nice game, shame you can't split your force

banana4life 2014-09-03 15:04

Awesome game, but the AI could use some work.

dylanwolf 2014-09-05 03:46

A really solid, minimalist RTS game. I could never beat the computer, but I had a lot of fun playing it.

snicklodocus 2014-09-12 02:38

I loved the graphics style! Game itself is fun but I didn't understand how the dotted lines formed. Enjoyed it though. Good job!

h1s2 2014-09-13 08:47

great game! very cool, simple graphics and audio. i liked the concept as well, thou the desition about win or lose is made very early. one of my favorites so far!

mapboy 2014-09-13 21:10

This was loads of fun, I enjoyed it.

romandtom 2014-09-13 22:17
