No name

Had an original inspiration that I would have something where you would have to zoom in and out to play, so you could only do some things while zoomed in, but need information from being zoomed out.

The mechanic is there, but unfortunately, it does not actually have playability. the control on you lies in using the "N", "M", or "T" keys to change mode for all the entities in the game (there are no competitor AI).

The three modes for the entities stand for "none", "merge", and "takeover"… but as with everything else, the movement "AI" is more like artificial stupidity.

At least it looks kinda nice to sit and watch.

FYI: "escape" pauses the game.

Well I cant rate this too high as no playability is there, but I enjoy the audio clip and the potential creative mechanism. Looking forward to future development!

Your idea is interesting, but obvious I would like to see where it could be taken with actual mechanics in place. Best of luck in future attempts!

I like the zoom in - zoom out idea, too bad you didn't have the time to finish it. You should give it a go though!

Seems like you had an interesting idea but not enough time to implement it. Maybe you should try to improve it post-compo.

Interesting AI... What kind of game did you plan to make with ?
