The gamplay description

You get score for the crystals wich harvesters (small blue cars) are deliver to the SiloDepo (The only building on the map). You can't controll harversters. They automaticly go to nearest crystal, collect them and return to the SiloDepo.

The slimes are hunting for harvesters and if they eat them then you have 3 second (while harvesterr beeping with red) to kill the slime and save the harvester. If harvester destroued - you wouldn't recieve the new one. If you out of harvesters - then it is game over.

The slimes are go from the portals and the number of slimes are increasing with time. Killing slimes aren't give you score points.

The SiloDepo can be destroyed by laser canon so be carefull.
