The world as we know it has ended. Mankind is long gone. Eradicated. The singularity eventually happened and AIs decided humans were a threat easily crushed.
In our place, different AIs battle endless wars against each other. As the sun burns the earth through the evaporated ozone layer, the machines have made themselves solar powered - however, their batteries are slow to recharge: the wars rage but the robots are constantly running out of power.

Take control of one of these AIs and crush anyone that dare confront you.
Use mouse to select units; green tiles mark where you can move (of a cost of 1 battery charge) and red tiles with a crosshair marks targets that your robot can attack (for a variable battery charge cost).
Build new robots in your factory and claim more factories to gain the upper hand.
Each round all robots (and claimed factories) re-charge 1 battery charge each.
Win the war by destroying all enemy robots and claiming all their factories.

The game currently supports local multiplayer, the intention was to also support online multiplayer, which I hope to make available soon in a post-compo version. Additional maps were designed, but these will also need to be added to the post-compo version.
Comments and feedback much appreciated!
All code/art/music by me during LD39.

Update: I have continued working on a post-compo version. This version (link below) enables you to play on the other maps I made during LD, and I also made the UI not target enemies if you don't have enough battery to attack. Also some bugs were fixed (thanks to Danae and Aurel for playing the game on twitch and finding the bugs)!
Update2: The post-compo version now supports online multiplayer! Challenge your friend to an online match!
