Lavapocalypse by Florian van Strien
The Orb of Power, a marvel of technology, has the ability to generate energy from the world itself. However, the end times are upon us! The world is sinking into endless lava and monsters have risen from the depths of the world! It is up to you to defend the Orb of Power as long as possible from the onslaught of calamity. Survive as long as possible and get the highest score.

BUT HOW
Create a resource building package by clicking its icon in the lower left. Left click the resulting package drone and right click an island with resources. The resources are: Wood, Scrap, Crystals, and Monster Ooze. The resource building will automatically gather resources from its island. You need to get those resources to your central storage to use them! You do this by creating gatherer drones and assigning them to get the resources from a resource building. They will automatically transport them to the tower or storage building. Use explorer drones to pick up the blue orbs for useful upgrades and to explore the world. Use attacker drones to deal with the fearsome enemies wandering around. You'll need to build the explorer and attacker modules respectively before you can build these last 2 drones. Good luck!

CONTROLS
- Left click: click buttons, select drones
- Right click: command selected drones
- Hold left click and drag: select multiple drones
- Hold middle/right mouse button + drag: move view

Love the music, love the lava, love the fog of war :heart:
It took me significant time to understand how should it work, but when I understood (at least something) it become very fun!
Possibly making it so your drones are not capable of running into each other so it doesn't make gathering resources a longer task. When I have more time, I want to try to get better at this game.
Well done :)
