The robots made by humans have turned against them.
They started to build a new civilization, but bumped into another civilization and angered them and have to pay them if they want to stay alive.
Now the robots have 2 choices: Pay the aliens until they get wiped out, or conquer the humans and with their technology, destroy the aliens as well.

The game was made in a hurry and got submitted pretty early, so expect bugs :smile:

Super well done! Really good quality. It's a bit difficult, but I might just be bad at it though.

Wow. Just wow. The graphics are amazing 10/10. Also i like the idea and the sounds are not bad.Good job!

Has a lot of potential. Good execution of theme. No problem understanding how everything works. Only issue is that when I won, it said I failed. It's okay though because I know I won :)

Sweet game! Excellent usage of the theme.

This game is really nice! The music is subtle but really makes the game a lot better, the gameplay is solid, just a tad easy, and the art is great! Overall just a great entry. Maybe a main menu would've been a nice extra touch.

Nice little game, I won :smile: and then I lost :confused:

Was presented with the message Hooray we have taken over Humpa , and like 7 seconds after that saw the screen with the message we didn't pay in time, the aliens have come for us . So did I win or lose? :laughing:

I liked the music, it really set the tone for the game. I wish it was a bit longer :smile:

Nice effort overall.

I liked this a lot. The art was nice to look at. It would probably be more interesting if the claim took a fixed amount of lives instead of just half of the remaining lives.

Very interesting entry ! I like that ! Made a full galactic conquest whith that !

I love the scrolling effect on the planets! Really well done. Maybe they could scroll in different directions though. The only thing missing is maybe some animations during raids, like some small explotions or something.

Well done

Its so simple yet so entertaining. Well done, 9/10, more planets

Martynas29 Apr 2019, 17:02

Love the looping planet textures!

Pierre CILLUFFO29 Apr 2019, 22:19

Great game, the visual is awesome ! But I took some time to fully understand the game.

I'm not really sure how to play. Nice graphics though

Vladimir Smolin2 May 2019, 13:56

Nice visuals. The game is very well made!

cheesepencil2 May 2019, 13:59

This is a neat prototype for what could be a really cool game with more depth and polish. I mean, it's already pretty cool (I love space games) don't get me wrong!

The graphic is lovely! and I like the little dots which represent the alien, and the nice ambient music! But I think there is some imbalance, and the Core gameplay is not very fun, the win/lose screen is kind of ambiguous.

Arqcenick2 May 2019, 14:31

Nice pixel art, I liked the strategy aspect of growing the colonies and waiting for correct time to claim them.
For graphics, I would reccomend doing a pixel perfect one as the aliasing can mess some of fonts etc. (But this is just personal aesthetics taste) Nice work!

Jake White2 May 2019, 14:33

Very cute art, managed to beat it pretty quickly.

TiagoRrech2 May 2019, 16:00

Really liked this. The visuals are spot on, very pleasant to the eye. I like how the game tasks you with balancing time and resources, and how it gives you an objective to strive for. Super well done!

Drunk Wizard2 May 2019, 17:09

Really superb game, I would love to one day make something like this also. I am a complete sucker for pixel art so 5* for graphics from me ^^ nice background ambient music. A really coherent piece of game. Well done

Ivaylo Dombi3 May 2019, 08:55

Loved the idea

lesinvisible3 May 2019, 14:33

Even giving it's due to godot and other kinda cheating in my opinion means to create game in such short time perion this game looks the most complete in this LD. Graphics are really solid and remind me of something like old X-Com. Core mechanic is limited by the small amount of planets but nevertheless is quite interesting.
