Hello, everybody! This is the fifth time I take part in Ludum Dare, and my fourth finished game.
It's called Connection Chase and it's a fast-paced space strategy game for 1 or 2 players (there is also AI vs AI!). Both players have a spaceship they use to move between planets. Arriving on a planet conquers it, and the first player to conquer 85% of the planets wins.
Differently coloured planets grant different bonuses: yellow (Inhospitable) planets do nothing, green (Trading Outpost) planets allow you to travel almost instantly between them, blue planets (Science Facilities) grant your ship a 30% speed bonus and red planets (Warring planets) make, when conquered, all adjacent enemy planets become neutral.
Controls for player 1: Click on an adjacent planet to travel there.
Controls for player 2: WASD or arrows to move cursor, space to click.
You can also, while still travelling to your target, select the next target!
I noticed the game has a surprising amount of depth and I'm really proud of it! And I even had time to polish it a bit :D
The source is only for compo rules, sorry, you're not allowed to use it.
I hope you like the game! :D
And please report any bugs you find!
