You are a member of an advanced alien race. You have entered a portal which you hope will lead you across the universe and back to your home planet. The portal is unstable so you will be periodically deposited in the strange mazelike interrim worlds. Here you must find the next portal quickly or be forever trapped. You have the ability to make simple robots which explore the world around you but you yourself are unable to move. Let your bots explore the area collecting gold which you can use to buy upgrades to the bots AI. When a bot reaches the exit portal you will be transported to the next world but all your bots will be left behind and you will have to rebuild your bot army from scratch.
py2exe gave me too much trouble so for now you will have to just run it from the source code.
unzip the source go into the folder and run aliendiaspora.py or run the command python aliendiaspora.py from the command line.
The game was made in python/pygame and the AI upgrades are pretty shabby (along with most everything else in the game) and I had basically no time to try and make the game balanced but here is a best attempt for 48 hours.
