Expanda by marcelklimo

[raw]
made by marcelklimo for LD30 (JAM)
Space action game, where you create trade routes with neighboring planets to gain resources. You use these to deploy shields or activate weapons in the defend and attack modes of the game. The goal is to survive for as long as possible while enemy waves attack your planets. Play the game in your browser right now to discover the rules and mechanics. There are multiple ways of gaining an advantage and staying alive!

The game was coded by @luboslenco in Haxe and designed by @marcelklimo (art and game design). The game is in early alpha. We plan to simplify the interface and battle system and release it for mobile devices in fall 2014.

Hi there... looks great but no controls to do anything except
rotate through Attack/Defend/Expand modes. Tried clicking centre planet, other planets, double clicks, right clicks, dragging various directions... ? Some help text would be cool.

I could not find a way to expand after I colonized a second planet.

Also some enemies didn't die while they were in shooting range of the planet I clicked on. I don't know if that one was a bug or if they have more than 1hp

overall this is pretty confusing: don't know what to do, don't know how to do it, not sure what is going on with my planets... >> this game really needs feedback for the player.

A list of controls somewhere would have been great. Took me a long time to figure it out, just short of face rolling the keyboard. Beyond that, I liked the graphics
