ABOUT:

You're a Commander, and the objective is to destroy all opposing ships before they destroy yours. You get to do this by planning out each 10 seconds before they happen and then watch them play out. Repeat until victory!

The game will automatically select your ship, represented by a large green arrow, and you give it orders. You first select it's movement, and then which direction to shoot. You then move onto the next ship and repeat until they've all received orders, and watch the conflict ensue.

There is a phase bar to help you keep track (though in hind-site it's not the most intuitive!)

On each turn you can also choose to divert power between shielding and firing-rate, but this is optional (though highly effective). This slider is located in the bottom left of your screen and can be changed during the planning phase for each ship.

CONTROLS:

Left Mouse Click - Place Movement Icon, Place Firing Target.

Spacebar - Confirm selection and move onto the next placement/ship. You can also click NEXT.

W A S D - moves the camera.

Thanks for looking! The jam was so much fun!
