A (really short) description


You build a simple base on a distant planet to defeat the evil aliens!

Your factories have a 10 second production cycle, so make sure to activate them early enough.

Music and Sounds


All music and sounds were created by Esther Wilka. You can find her on Instagram.

Controls

You only need your arrow keys/WASD and Enter/Space.

You control your character and menus using WASD. You can only walk on your buildings.
Some buildings (e.g. iron mine) can be activated. If they are activated, they produce an item at the end of the 10 second phase. An activation usually costs ressources.
Tip: You can still activate factories shortly before the current time interval ends.

If you move your character onto free space adjacent to your base, the building menu opens and you can see available buildings. Their building cost are also displayed.

On the left you see the ressources you are currently holding.

Building Description

I recommend that you use the game itself to learn its mechanics. Additionally, you can also look at following table.
