Week #03 Let's go beta-testing!

Hello everyone. We're hitting the end of another development cycle and at this stage we really need some help and feedback from you, people who are interested in the game. I won't lie, it might not be pleasant. Some tables might fly, some chairs might be burnt. But in the end your help will make this game much better.
If you wish to participate, write me (icxon) or a333 in Steam directly, or drop us a mail at giraffe.volcanic@gmail.com, we will send you the key and instructions. P.S. every hour my cat will eat one of the beta keys, so hurry up. P.P.S. We live at +03 GMT, so if we are not answering we are asleep. Don't worry, the cat is sleeping too.

Week #03 Let's go beta-testing!

[ 2018-03-27 15:16:34 CET ] [ Original post ]

15 years since the first colonization parties landed on Gagarin-5. 15 years of tedious yet satisfying work on making this planet our home. I miss these years now.
It all happened in mere days. The corruption spread across our lands, waves of crimson doom washed away our mushroom farms, and giant worms devoured our cities. As far as I know, only few thousands of people were able to escape into the emergency bases. Now the thing.. is dormant. It sleeps during the day, and grows only slowly over the night, filled with tumors, blights and rolling, nauseating pink lights.
This small opening seems to be our only chance to fight back, to clean the planet. And we are sure to take it.

Gameplay

Stand to defend a distant human colony against the growing lifeform that devours everything in its wake. Build complex defenses from the simplest element possible – a single block, save few remaining settlements and clean the planetary surface from the corruption in this original tower-based RTS. Initially built for a Ludum Dare 38 game jam, it was completely redesigned, got a graphics update, tons of new content, but still works around a simple idea: build towers from blocks, contain the enemy, survive the night onslaught and strike back.

Key features

Unique approach to building process: Every tower is constructed from patterns of simple blocks. Build your defense grid piece by piece the way you like it, upgrade, combine, optimize space and resources to survive against the overwhelming odds.
An enemy unlike usual RTS adversaries: Growing, living entity designed to exploit every small weakness in your defense. The more space it takes from you, the more powerful it becomes.
Freedom of strategy and flexible defense perimeter: Go for quick low-tier tower rush or bunk with well-defended artillery posts, then collect your blocks and rebuild the defenses on the spot — just mind the free space and resources left.
Direct control over the builder: Or two? Dynamically switch between several battlefronts and dominate over the enemy.
Over 30 levels with variative gameplay and win objectives.
Random missions generator with an adjustable difficulty level and special rewards.
Custom towers editor where you can construct your own powerful weapon.
Remappable keyboard or gamepad controls. Please note that the game was not designed for mouse control.
