*requires download* Unity 4.6 doesn't have webplayer working? Download exe.
KiloWar is a multiplayer synchronous turn based strategy game. Each side gets some vehicle to conquer the relay stations in order connect them to their spawn world. They also attack other vehicles in war.
Most vehicles can move 4 squares and relay owned by one player will connect to other relays once they are conquered.

We broke a major rules of game jam a couple times.
* Dont use an unfamiliar tech.
But it was fun in the process! Having never done new UI, turn based locksteps, and unity's RPC networking, it was pretty time consuming for basic features but it is functional so hurrah.

Nice hex grid and relatively straightforward interface. Some pretty good graphical work.
No sound whatsoever.
No instruction - not entirely sure how the mechanics of resource control and fighting work.
Art is entirely appropriate to theme of a military territory control game. Don't see any connection to "connected worlds" though.
Very hard to call it fun at this stage - needs more work on gameplay mechanics and a good tutorial.
