If you ever dreamed of driving a floating island into battle, this is the game for you!

* Build your settlement
* Propel your island with a tower
* Discover the devastating effect of multiple towers

Tips&Tricks:
* Don't run out of food
* Build faster than the AI
* Try to get 2+ towers as fast as possible, the rest should be obvious

Mac: I don't have one so I have NO idea if it works. If you run into any problems, let me know.

Linux: You need to have the love package in version 0.9.1 installed to play the .love file.

-------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO WIN (Don't read this if you want to find out yourself):
-------------------------------------------------------------
Build in this sequence as fast as possible
* Build two sawmills near a lot of trees
* Build two houses
* Build two farms
From now on build houses whenever the "open job" message appears
* Build two masons near stones
* Build two mines wherever
* Build two farms
* Build two towers
Attack as soon as the second tower is ready

Very nice idea. I'm still trying to win against the AI but it's hard! Like the music and pixel graphics. Well done.

A fun game that is easy to learn but hard to master. Good work.

I tried about 10 times and couldn't defeat the AI. I'm totally destroyed before being able to build my first tower. But I swear I tried !

I absolutely could not make a dent in it, i got tower as an option about 2 seconds before everyone killed me haha. it's a wonderful little game and it's really really good looking! I love it

Really fun and finally an RTS. Very hard though, have not been able to build the second tower yet... but have not given up. Can I move my island? How?

@UrbanHelsing As soon as you build your first tower a panel should appear bottom left. It gets more visible once you have the second one! Hope you have fun :)

Great game in only 48 hours, but hard to win, yes.

Yeah I overdid it in the end when I steadily made the AI faster and better. I can't beat the ai everytime as well. Would have loved to fix that but it is not a gamebreaking-bug, just a balancing issue so I am not allowed to :/

Very nice game, it's a bit hard at the first shot :D Also thumps up for the graphics and the music :)

Very impressive amount of work for a 48-hour game. It blew my mind when the islands started moving around, did not expect that! The little units moving around was a nice touch. Good start for an rts.

Really good strategy game! Kept me playing a long time. Unfortunately I ended running out of food. :/
I really liked how the music changes when the opponents start attacking. The AI are quite hard to beat but with some more time playing it may be feasible. ^^

I won without firing a single bullet(?) :D.

I didn't understood very well what i was suppose to do [and no, i won't read the solution], the buildings need to have more information about what they do.

The song i pretty cool btw.

@Mono Buildings just produce one type of resource each, houses just spawn three villagers. Sometimes the ai players destroy each other so you win by default
