Star Battle
Sweet, finished a new game called Star Battle for the compo. This was pretty fun to make and the graphics have this cool vibe to it. The game is about finding creation stars to populate an empty region of space. Planetoids begin to appear and can be mined for gold. I was modeling my game system on a type of puzzle called STAR BATTLES. Star Battle puzzles involve setting stars on a puzzle grid making sure that only certain numbers of stars show up in every column and row and region. I was not able to enforce the latter, but the simulation is enjoyable anyways as you pilot your little ship around the galaxy trying not to get too close to the big stars.
