This is an single player indie rts hybrid , with really unique mechanics,
and they say the genre is dead , i beg to differ :)

Graphics are a bit retro but with its own style.
This game is a strange beast and it took a lot of time to make.

Hope people will enjoy it, but be warned is not a casual game
and is not hand holding the player.

The tutorials are must, take your time to understand how it works.


Live long and prosper
