> It's recommended to play this game on itch.io (`https://quasilyte.itch.io/cavebots`). If you want to play it on ldjam embed, use arrow keys to pan the camera, since screen edge mouse scroll works poorly without a full-screen mode.
CaveBots is an RTS where you build your base and repel the attacks. It's an indirect-control game: your units are automated; you can only control the flagship.
My theme interpretation: you can't build at a random place; your options are limited by the designated slots. You have to choose between the options that are available. In this sense, your building space is limited.
Quick how to:
1. Start by digging a green block with a Harvester in it
2. Find a hard terrain block and dig it
3. Build a Generator on that hard terrain block
4. Try to get a Patrol bot or build a Turret to defend yourself
5. It's free sailing from here
The game gives you detailed tooltips about many things. If in doubt, hover over anything to get hints.
Controls:
You can also pan a camera with your mouse by moving your pointer to the edge of the screen.
See the itch io page for more game info.
