BTW, there seem to be some issues in Firefox. I'll look into it more when I'm less tired.

Neat game, you don't see many RTS titles floating around for Ludums. Refreshing ^_^

Super awesome game!!! Nice simple graphics and animations.

The game looks nice, the music is good and the gameplay innovative. I had trouble understanding the controls, had my first unit die :( , but it definitely looked promising ! I will try this game again later :)

I really like this interpretation of shapeshifting

brianschung 2016-04-20 01:08

Pretty cool!

Cool to see an RTS, but in Firefox on Ubuntu, the game had some kind of graphical issue when I tried to place my first structure. I was definitely intrigued otherwise.

This is such well executed RTS HTML5 game! I really like how you made the units move, very natural looking.

Fantastic use of the theme, super fun to play, great audio! It can be a bit hard to understand how to play though

OK, things should be working better in Firefox now, thanks for the bug reports!

If you're confused about what to do (the game really doesn't do a great job explaining it…), here are two tips to get you started:

1. Your first goal is to place a gateway under a white transportation beam. It will make more units for you.

2. Next, build a few pillars to increase the unit limit (shown at the top of the screen). Once you've built some, the gateway should start producing stuff.

After that it's up to you!

Very unique from most of the entries. Great bgm and I like the simple gameplay even though it's a strategy game. Great work! :)

A very unique and interesting entry, it's not usual at all to find an RTS game in a Ludum Dare, much less such a webb executed one. I'm absolutely in love with the simple yet gorgeous, effective and consistent art style. The soundtrack works perfectly with the aesthetics too. Congratulations on this!

Pretty solid RTS game. The unit usage was really well done, being able to pick multiple units and assign a job for them worked excellently.

gromek999 2016-04-20 16:38

I love it, the style and the concept is great :D

qualitycatgames 2016-04-21 21:36

Seems like an interesting concept, but I can't seem to even place the gateway. In fact, i don't even see the transportation beam!

lightsoda 2016-04-22 11:09

Had to read your comment to figure out what was going on. Pretty solid little RTS.

tomlum 2016-04-23 03:43

Beautiful game, a little hard, or maybe I'm just bad.

josefnpat 2016-04-23 04:36

Fun little game, there doesn't seem to a game over screen when you die though. I really lke the different options of shapeshifting from units to structures. Graphics and music go well together. - @bytedesigning / Ashley

Solid mechanics. Really liked how the theme is implemented here. Some audio would be great to feel the mood. Congratulations. Could take less time to create and merge the units. :P

endel 2016-04-23 10:13

Just noticed it actually has sound, it was only disabled. Sorry. I also enjoyed the graphics. Keep it up!

reiv 2016-04-23 14:53

I love RTS and this one is really well made. Smooth animations and solid mechanics! Great work!

seconddimension 2016-04-23 19:24

Very enjoyable game and the simple graphics were perfect for the gameplay.

coderjoe 2016-04-23 23:29

Very cool! Played it to the end.

Great game dude! Really impressive for 72 hours, especially if done by yourself. I like the concept of macro being combining units into other units: there being different combinations and skill trees coming from that is a satisfying progression system.

sepharoth213 2016-04-24 00:54

Great game! Really impressive for 72 hours, especially if you did it alone. Lots of potential with combination gates/structures for skill trees etc.

oysterklan 2016-04-24 07:17

Super awesome game, looks very polished, perfect use of theme as an RTS game.

gurkenlabs 2016-04-25 10:26

first RTS I've rated this LD :) Really loved your entry, good work!

exspecter 2016-04-26 09:54

Nice complex game! I like it

marmpa 2016-04-26 11:14

REally nice game. I was addicted to it for quite some time .Really nice use of theme

apantaloni 2016-05-02 22:26

Really nice! I'd love to see this developed further.

The game is awesome! If only there was more content
