Any chance of a build? So many games to play I don't have the time to compile!

kabzoer 2014-08-25 09:53

How do I run this game? I only see a source link.

elkiwydev 2014-08-25 09:54

Looks good but only source link..No playable stuff there

majko 2014-08-25 09:56

Like, seriously? The game is looking so good, finally someone with sense for graphics... and you haven't build it?

a333 2014-08-25 09:58

Sorry guys. I've uploaded the build at the first place, of course, but the site refuses to show the link (dunno why, just checked - link is good).
I'll upload it to the alt location, it's the same archive, hope it's not against the rules.

Quite enjoyable game with a solid, done before, idea. Simplistic and appealing graphics. Fitting sound effects.

Just a minor bug: when I press my mouse outside your game while in one of the "tutorials" it skips it.

Bit confusing? But i really like the idea, better than mine.

Reminds me of a "down to basics" version of a game i had played on ps3 for hours, i would love to see you continue this. I know im keeping this version to play endlessly lol

Good mood and graphics, the gameplay is nice : some kind of galcon fusion with a twist !

Good game , I wasn't able to pass the first level though :D

Awesome game, found the first mission a little tough, but after I got the hang of the mechanics it was very enjoyable. "Congratulations, commander!" Would be great to have a better UI, right mouse clicking and shift-right clicking is really fiddly, wasn't always sure if I was making or breaking connections, or where I was sending units. Final mission stumped me until my 4th attempt.

I really like it and played a few rounds. But I just can't seem to win :P
Maybe next round

Yes, it needs some focus checks. But it's a minor, so may be in a remake =).
>modbox, Markavian, JetL33t
Controls are very weak. Input update, you should've seen that piece of code, it's a huge mess.
About difficulty - first level is actually badly designed, and the last level, well, i've never been able to beat it yet, but i've figured someone definitely would. Congratulations to you all =)

Last level: because of the way you'd balanced the AI, linking the middle two planets and defending against the reds with L2 ships was the priority. While purple started expanding north, I broke the link between their worlds, and used the extra fighters from that to claim the right side of the map, reinforcing the middle... then it was a slow game of holding off the reds until I could connect all the worlds and make super ships... I think I had a crazy chain of like 8 planets or something.

You really know your way around strategies. Something that I should consider to learn before trying to make another strategy game.

markavian 2014-08-25 12:48

Well, you made a good game, still playing it :D - my only complaint now is a lack of restart/reset after losing or winning a game. I'd be interested to see if it works on a larger scrolling map as well so you can have bigger battles.

micdoodle8 2014-08-25 21:01

Nice game. Very tough though, couldn't even capture a few worlds without being overtaken.

lkr 2014-08-25 21:12

Fun and well-made game :)
Difficult AI, but that's not a bad thing.

paperblurt 2014-08-28 09:19

Actually kinda complex game.
Very nice work!

tkia_ 2014-08-30 11:40

Very cool, interesting, and fun idea for a strategy game! Reminded me of Galcon. Liked the look and design of it.. If only I could be good enough to last past the first level :P

lvyn 2014-08-30 11:41

Nice game, good gameplay !

nicealexanderas 2014-09-02 23:48

Very complicated game but in a good way. I like this game a lot.
