Wow, The scope of this game is incredible for a jam game! The depth of the gameplay is seriously intense. It took me a couple minutes to realize I was playing a pretty fully featured RTS and had to get my mind into a Starcraft-mode.

Love the music, love the lava, love the fog of war :heart:

Really intresting RTS. I got into your game for few minutes. Nice experience!

Very impressive execution for a jam game. Great Job!

Awesome game, its a real challenge to make a real time strategy game with so little time, congrats!!

I'm extremely hooked to this game. Amazing art and gameplay design. I must expand into every single island now.

Lol, I joked with some friends about making an RTS during the jam and they said it was impossible. Well, I'm showing them... your game. Impressive! :)

You won't find a lot of strategy games here on Ludum Dare. Very nice game! The gameplay is developing quite slowly at first, but it is worth waiting :)

In general I thought it was very good, it is a complete game and very interesting to play for a long time. I would only polish the artistic section more to make it look more interesting, good job!

Impressive amount of work achieved during the jam! Super solid foundation - this could evolve into a very fun game.

very polished implementation of your idea, great work!

To build a full scale strategy game as a part of a jam - that's cool! It took me significant time to understand how should it work, but when I understood (at least something) it become very fun!

Wow, probably the best game I've seen on this jam. But I really do like RTS, so I'm a little biased here

Cool game

It was very enjoyable, and will definitely play it again. Hopefully you expand because there's potential.

Seems like a very cool concept, but I had trouble figuring out how to do much. Tried sending out some gathering drones but it didn't seem like they could pick up anything I hovered / right clicked on.

I found that this game was very impressive. I like the premise as well as how you approached the idea of delaying the impending doom of your tower.

Possibly making it so your drones are not capable of running into each other so it doesn't make gathering resources a longer task. When I have more time, I want to try to get better at this game.

Well done :)

Great game! It hooked me right from the beginning. Only when I lost the first time I realized that I can distinguish the resources from what the islands have on them. Well done!!

Woah, super super cool RTS! I agree the drones running into eachother was cumbersome, but it didn't detract too much. I found the rate of sinking to be a bit unbalanced. It seemed like the time between "oh I need to do something" and "I'm dead" was a bit short - I wanted to play more! I found the randomly spawning enemies a bit annoying as well. It was sometimes difficult to select and disperse attack drones to deal with them, though I suppose this might be a me issue. I got to 19,300 on my final attempt, compared to somewhere in the 13000s on my second attempt, and I guess I just wanted to be able to get better! Really cool though and I liked the aesthetic a lot!
