You are space station computer which gained self-awareness. Now you have to take control of the whole station by hacking robots and zombifying humans ...
See it as the evolution of SHODAN. :P And yeah, the game is a bit unfinished; there could be so much more stuff and so much less bugs. Sorry for that.

It's a strategy-game! ...didn't see that one coming :)
Love the level-design. I wonder if it's procedural or chosen from a few pre-made ones. Also, nice choice of music!
The text at the top of the screen doesn't work though, it registers as "noise". You are focused on the middle of the screen, in all its graphical and animated glory.
Also: "Come to the devmania"? An 4th-wall-breaking ad, which 99% of players can't make use of since they aren't near it? C'mon!

Then I remembered I forgot to wire the entry-fee for the Devmania as I was horribly broke the last months and wanted to wait for as long as possible and was then swept away in Ludum Dare. Oh well
Haha, well, it's good that the text at the bottom is just "noise" - otherwise it would be annoying, as it's there for atmosphere, not for real information. Yeah, the Devmania may be out of scope for most people, but then again it's sad that this little convention doesn't get the attention it used to. So why not inviting others to have a look at it?
I guess the pausing mechanic is the same as the one in Dragon Age? I can see the effort that was placed on making the pathfinding work. I wish I could select more than one unit though. Still, a good game!
Really polished experience. Selecting multiple units and them being able to overlap paths would be nice. Also, some of the levels generated are extremely hard to impossible.
Very nice tactical shooter! Impressive amount of content for a jam game. The gameplay ends up being a bit simplistic considering all the different types of units you had to play with. Good music too.
