In this game your goal is to claim world domination! To do so, simply take over every planet in each level.

Controls:

Listed in game via tutorial.

Move around by clicking on the minimap or by using the WASD/arrow keys. The minimap shows planets and your current viewport only. This is an RTS so you must watch your resources carefully while fending off the AI or attacking a planet it controls. Build oil rigs to get money, and build turrets or HP regeneration stations as defensive buildings. The only moving unit is the fighter.

Click and drag to select fighters, right click a planet to make them travel there. They will attack enemies automatically and attempt to take over neutral or enemy planets.

In total there are 9 levels. The AI may either crush you or you it. In general, the AI is most often conservative in the beginning and when it builds up a fleet will send them out.

Cheats:

Numpad +/- to switch levels.

THERE IS A WEB VERSION OF THIS GAME, HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

REALLY IMPORTANT: The tutorial under the "How" button does not correctly draw the first screen of the tutorial. When you press that button and get sent to a blank blue screen, PRESS THE SPACEBAR to continue. The missing screen basically summarizes the information given in these notes.

Chrome has a bug that prevents the game from running normally, it wants to run twice as fast as I designed the game to run. I was kind of able to hack around this limitation, but the result was making Chrome run even slower and more choppy than other browsers.

This game is HTML5/Javascript. It supports both WebGL and canvas for maximum performance and compatibility. HTML5 is a new technology and there are many differences between browsers (for instance, how shapes and sprites look).

This game can get quite intensive and may run poorly on slower machines. If you have any problems with the web version, PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE WINDOWS VERSION.

4/24 - Added timelapse. May be 360p for a while.
