I recommend downloading as it seems to not be running very smoothly in the web player (any ideas why?).

A turn-based shooter.

The game is two player VS. I planned to make it four player and create AI but I didn't have time.

There were lots of things that I didn't have time to add (including sound and music).

This is my first time using Unity so any tips/advice would be very appreciated.

Controls:

Arrow keys / WASD to move

Enter to end turn

Tab to cycle through units

Hold Space to fire

E to enter/exit turrets

Z and X to zoom

Number keys to build

Genres: shooter, strategy

I'm enjoying the idea of firing yourself on a new planet to take it over it's a cool mechanic. Some space music in the background would have kept me playing a bit longer

Scrolling should be a bit more sensitive (and by a bit I mean a lot ;) + it's a bit awkward to play You vs You. Good game though.

This would be really awesome with some friends. Kind of like worms. Really cool mechanic.

Nice concept, but I had some issues using the turrets - they ate my little guys instead of letting them enter.

Very cool concept. It ran great for me in the web player.

Looks and feels really smooth and nice! There are definitely some cool mechanics going on too! There's a bit of a hard time with some things though, like switching units and spawning units that can be a bit confusing?

Nice Game ! I liked it ! It's a little complicated when you don't have an English keyboard :)

Great game, reminiscent of worms but with a cool aesthetic

Cool concept. Would like to see this fleshed out more.

Pretty cool concept - reminds me of the worms series. While it took some time to get to the basic strategy involved i can see this getting pretty deep - as even when playing only against myself I got to an stalemate which i then broke again. pretty interesting game - although i'm not convinced either side can ever win. hiding your units on the backside of planets is just to effective. I like the minimalistic appearance too. Solid entry + nice physics. :)

It looks interesting from what I've seen playing by myself, I'll try to play it with a friend!

Nice concept and love the minimalist aesthetic.

It's a good first try in unity. The graphics were minimal but enjoyable. The mixture of turn-based gameplay with certain manual hability was interesting, and the theme was well translated into a game.

Good entry, I really loved the core idea and the implementation is simple but it can be improved in the future. I liked the game, but the lack of audio is an important minus.

The concept of your game is just great, I really like the gameplay mechanic. I had difficulties to control my shoots at the beginning. It might be better with sounds, more polish and best playability (sometimes, I cancelled my shoot but I could'nt shoot again). Good entry!

Really great game, I would love to play this against my friends or an AI. Really like the strategies that evolve through the gravitational fields. Only gripe I have is that one shouldn't be able to move units once they used up their actions, so that you can't hide the units as easily behind the planets.
