Please play the map called small islands, the rest is kind of unplayable. Instead of playing the tutorial pls look at the screenshots (game explanation there)

Phewww....that was one close finish.

We had only 40 seconds to go for finishing our entry.

But luckily we made it! You can find our game "Growth of the Hive" by following the Dropbox-Link.

We invested a lot of hard work into this, hardly got any sleep, but with the help of energy drinks we made it.

We coded with Java and used Gimp for the graphics.

Every graphic is handmade and unique.

The game is about a queen, sent out by the Hivemind to conquer a region and collect all the precious DNA there.

Protect the queen from foreign warriors while collecting all the DNA on the map within the time limit to finish the level.

Use slime to build new buildings which will spawn special creatures with unique fighting abilities to survive the foreign attacks. This buildings can be evolved with slime to spawn stronger creatures with new abilities.

We strongly recommend to play the tutorial first as it will help you learn about strengths and weaknesses of each fighter of the hive.

Now have fun with our game.

We are very much looking forward to hearing from you, any criticism or praise can help us improving ;)
