Pretty hard game, as it's not possible to select more allies at the same time, but not bad, it makes this game unique :D
Thanks for the feedback :) I was going to drop out, but got encouraged to submit what I had. There is a massive list of mechanics and 'refinements' I wanted to add! This really is just a skeleton for what I had planned... (number keys to select/view unit, special ability for each unit, multi-select units, different terrain for each mission, proper pathfinding, visual indicators, different enemy types based on difficulty, real UI; just to mention a couple!). Too complicated for a solo weekend jam. I really didn't expect positive feedback (or any feedback), so thanks again :)
Pretty cool concept here. It looks like the scope is much larger than 48 hours, but it's a good start, and looks like it could be a deep game.
I really want to be able to select multiple units at once. Not being able to do so makes it feel like a lot of work to control my army.
Anyway, nice start! I can definitely see the potential. I'm glad you submitted.
I would definitely not stop working on this, you have a ton of great concepts in here! It'd be nice to exit back to the menu but it was a pretty cool entry overall :)
Im really bad at those games. but very well done! very cute and cool menu-idea with the planets and the zooming effect and stuff. also cool is the intro were the ship lands on the planet.
I don't think rts is the type of game to made in a ludum dare. But you have tried it and it's honorable.
Maybe too big for a Ludum Dare : the RTS lack of option, and the field of variation, but the control of the camera with the zoom and movement is impressive.
A simple option had to allowed multiple selection or zone selection to move all the characters.
You also can't leave a planet even if you have
...lost. You have to wait the destruction of the ship.
That's a real challenge that you take, and even if it's not fully functionnal, i'm pretty that i could not do what you have done in 48hours, even i know unityengine.
Good job.
I liked the setting and the graphics. Though, game-play is obviously still very basic.
The RTS genre is hard for a compo like the solo 48h compo. You should try the jam with friends next time :). I'm amazed on what you could achieve in such a short frame time.
Fantastic attempt, but like others have said, this was likely too big of a project to handle in just 48 hours.
The planet surface looked really good but I couldn't figure out how to play, which is sad :( However, it is an amazing feat that which you accomplished in just 48 hours so I cannot imagine what you could do with this game with a little more time. Keep up the good work!

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.
MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Good idea, could have used some sound and some refinement but the idea is there.
