The Spaceshuttle hosting Colony No.3028 has crashed on a rogue planet far away from all intergalactic trading routes. Collect resources and defend yourself to leave this hostile planet, before the foreign environment, invading aliens and vengeful gods destroy your whole colony.
---Gameplay---
Colony 3028 is a (too) fast paced Real-Time-Strategy game where you grow (aha, there is a theme!) your colony to collect resources and defend yourself. Create workers at your Spaceshuttle and use workers to collect resources and build structures (towers are important). There are various temples of various deities, slowly getting angry at you, spawning deadly creatures if they get too angry. You can sacrifice your units to the temples to make them happy, so you can train special units at the temples and they won't try to kill you.
If the screen shakes, that means aliens landed per meteoroid, trying to kill your colony.
---Caveats---
This game has been prey to feature creep. Which will result in the following: -Music but no Sound Effects -Confusing Gameplay -Missing Tutorial -Horrible Random Generation -Gamebreaking Bugs
---Controls--- Mouse for everything
LEFT mouse button -> Unit selection / Clicking Buttons RIGHT mouse button -> Give Units orders (move/attack/collect/build)
(and Arrowkeys for camera-movement, but those are KEYS and not BUTTONS)
Oh god its the duck! *duck gets killed* where did these little ducks come from o.o In the end there was about too many tanks killing me and my space shuttle exploded :/ Nicely thought rts game!
Thanks for playing and rating GET IT OUT!!! I'm glad you liked it! This was really impressive! I don't know how you were able to get it done so fast - very cool! The only problem I had was that it can be hard to keep the things you want in your view due to the controls. But game play was simple and effective and I had fun keeping everything away from my space shuttle. Haha. Thanks for sharing and congrats on finishing!!!
Nice RTS game, considering the time limit of 72 hours I'd say it's an achievement. The music feels like it repeats every 3 seconds. The game is too hard I think, or I missed something.
Thanks for all the feedback people. Brought some issues to our attention we didn't think about, and some issues we already knew about, but time constraints in Ludum Dares can be tough. So, sorry if you tried to enjoy it, but simply couldn't because there is no proper tutorial. We will use this new knowledge to improve future games.
It was rather tricky, due to the size of things and trying to click on them. It was a nice simple game and I felt it was rather well done, found some little bugs here and there but nothing too major. Solid entry overall

Funny builder, a bit too hectic, with a brick-wall learning curve. Slow it down, simplify it, and keep the humor. :)
Thumbs up for RTS in 72 hours! :-)
Alien ducks are evil. Too fast-paced for my taste, but still good.
