I mostly bomb the turrets.  You just drop your ships directly on it and it'll destroy it.

I'd also like to see more done with the inside of a planet.  Perhaps you can dig out the planet's core to produce metal, and armor-plate your ships so that they can withstand turret fire more easily?  Or the little cubes could build a tower out of metal instead of stacking themselves?  Later you could use iron to make large structures for your swarm, like a mothership, but that'd be later in development

90% of the time i cant remove the down arrows, causing all my ships to plummet to their de-aerilization.


E: nvm, its just because i'm stupid.

I dunno, that feels kind of against the theme, with them building stuff out of metal.  They're a fully organic army, that's rad.  Maybe geologic upheaval from sucking up all the oceans could create interesting new terrain, like lava pools and stuff, but you'd need a reason to go back to conquered planets in that case.

[Girlinhat]

Well, my train of thought was that they're an exploitive species.  If there's a resource, then you take it.  Don't just stop at water!  There's plenty of fun minerals in planets!

[sfighrath]

What kind of resources do you want? Name, where it will be, properties, bonus for swarm and etc.

[Tellemurius]

I like this guy, hes very open for ideas.

I make game of my dream, but I want make it interesting for other people. I have no a design document, I have no boss with money, i'm free for any interesting things so, I wait

[Girlinhat]

Well, as I've said, I'd like to exploit the planet itself, not just its biosphere but its hard materials.  Digging out metals and rocks could do plenty of thing.  Armor-plated swarm members or large constructions are obvious choices.  The construction could be on-planet, like you could build a bridge to cross a mountain, or you could build a rock thrower that would destroy enemy turrets from a safe distance.  Or the structures could become part of the swarm, like you could have a water collector that gathers water and lets you make +2 swarm ships instead of +1.

You can make your swarm bigger, or you can make the swarm better.  Give us upgrade things!

I would strongly prefer if the swarm stayed organic. It would be one thing if they used some of the minerals in the planet to allow more powerful forms and ranged weaponry, but I don't think that using rocks or straight out mechanical weaponry really fits in with the theme.

[Girlinhat]

Well, to be fair, there isn't much of a "theme" right now at all.

[Cthulhu]

While I think the game could definitely use cleanup and quality of life fixes (Better planet generation, digging through mountains, and the like), right now it kind of has a 'pure' feel to it.  Remember KISS.  Don't get so caught up adding new stuff that it becomes unwieldy.

So far, so good, love the concept. Perhaps more human ground units, maybe when you take over a colony they come and investigate? I'd love perhaps burrowing or some wildlife. Keep up the great work!

[Scelly9]

Oh, this looks very, very fun.

[Girlinhat]

Yeah, this is one of those where you shrug at it, but then you play it and you're like "holy crap why is this so fun?!"

I think the main draw is the interface.  Click and drag, click to land, click to build a water tentacle.  If you can keep the interface simple while adding more content, it'll be golden.
