Exolink is a turn-based space strategy game for 2 players. The first person to establish a colony in the opposing player's home column is the winner. This is my third game and first LD.
While the HTML version has a couple of text alignment issues, it is fully featured.
How to Play: - Your fleets are spawned - You move fleets between planets you control (click + drag, one move per turn) - Upgrade your planet level by clicking the green arrow (costs 3 ships) - You conquer Neutral or Enemy planets (one attack per turn, plus a second optional attack from the freshly conquered planet)
Isolated enemy planets are returned to neutral - take out their planet chain! High level planets get bonuses for each connected planet. Cluster around high levels, or upgrade your planet to a higher level if it is surrounded by many other friendly planets.
played against myself, lacking an opponent, but quite enjoyed it. though it seems like picking an optimal strategy is relatively straightforward one you are acquainted with the rules.
Hey man thanks for your comment. Yeah it's nice to see other people developing with GM :) I like strategic puzzle games... Played it vs me... Nice concept. Like it!
Nice game. I liked the simplicity of the system, and it worked pretty smoothly. I would have preferred to see more UI improvements to help convey some of the information more quickly.
It took me a while to figure out the mechanics, (I'm a bit tired after this 3 days) but after that I really enjoyed the game. :) I'd make some API for AI programming, then try out the bots against each other :P
Wasnt quite sure what I was doing but I included it in part 14 of my Ludum Dare 30 Compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/fQEfK1MQqVU

But for a videogame it is not the best mechanic.
