Space Vikings by sharpcoder
Space Vikings! This is a resource management game that lets you control a raid ship en route to the corner of the known universe. No longer are the Jarls and Varls bound by mere galactic borders. Once they discovered Odin's Box, a raiding party quickly gathered their gear and headed TO WAR! Backed with the strength of Thor and the wisdom of Odin, nothing can stop these inquisitive adventurers.
MOUSE - This is a resource management game, it's entirely controlled through the mouse. Once you're in-game, there are a series of buttons on the bottom of the screen. Use them to take an action. This game relies on a turn-based mechanic, so once you've made your move - wait for the retaliation (if one happens). Use your turn wisely. Each iteration, food will automatically be deducted used based on how many crew you have hired. Additionally, most actions take some amount of Metal.
Good luck!
NOTE: If you speak Swedish, I'm sorry. The death screen has a vocal soundtrack wherein I attempt to sing a Swedish Hymn in a sort of choir style. I probably butchered the sounds and for that - I apologize!

Like the idea, but i didn't get the hang of it, maybe a better explanation on the game mechanics would help the uninitiatied players.
The game itself would benefit from a small tutorial or mouse-over for the different actions so I know what influences what. Other then that, pretty cool!
The calming music did a nice job of setting up a "floating in space" mood, which was strangely fitting despite the game's objective of PLANETARY ANNIHILATION. The silly sound effects (chickens!) supported this style, and frankly I'm glad you went the silly route since it made the game more inviting to play.
