Hoy!

Great entry with very clean graphics and gameplay: Nothing much to say, besides that the game is a bit too easy to be interresting: it's very snowbally, and the AI is quite slow to play, so it's very easy to overwhelm it. Still, I like how you have to be carefull when attacking a planet, as it make it's population quite low which is quite dangerous (a real player would take advantage of that, i think the AI doesn't, but maybe i am wrong)

It's really fun to see the whole swarm of small spaceships heading to a planet to conquer it, defnitly a great idea (even if some trafic-jam happens from time to time, it's quite dangerous for you in fact...but it could be an interresting defense strategy ==> try to delay the annemy swarm by sacrificing some population)

But anyway, a solid concept that just need some more extra challenge to be fun!

How does this submission only have one comment? First off nice game name! The art and animation in the game is very good. I especially love the little ships flying around and the menu screen. However, the game could really use some sound and music. The game gets quite easy towards the end as your numbers exponentially grow. Once you outnumber the enemy in planets by two or more you basically win. I also never found myself using the grow and shrink of the army size, however it is a nice feature. All that said though, I really like the concept of this game and it has a lot of potential to grow. Really good job.

Another solid swarm strategy entry. I like these a lot, so don't worry about it!

More challenge would be most appreciated. Simply ramping up the AI thought process would be enough I wager.

Audio could be really interesting taken your *space dwarves* theme. :beer: :smile: :beer: :meat_on_bone::beer: :angry: :beer: :anger: :beer: :skull:

Well done.

Who doesn't like space Dwarves!

Interesting Galfo-Suion like game. Maybe a little bit too quick to finish. A couple of more levels would have mmade not finish it that quickly. And unfortunately there is a sire fire strategy to always win. When a lavel begins, always attack the enemy first because he will always split his army.

Shame that there isnt any kind of sound, anything, even some music would have been welocme.

In any casy I had fun for a while and the graphics were lovely and very well done. Great work!
