Minimal Annihilation by Zener
Minimal Annihilation is a minimaslistic RTS, the gameplay, the graphics, event the dimensions are at a minimum.
All the actions can be done with the mouse. Select units, collect minerals, build a barracks and start training units to terminate the enemy. It comes with 4 difficulty levels (not very tested, start with easy)
The inspiration has come from many places: 8 bits games like army moves, game over, moon patrol, ... RTSs like Command and Conquer, Dune and Starcraft of course.
It has been developed using flash for the code, Paint Shop Pro for the gfx and Autoracker+Sfxr for the music&effects.
A lot of effort has been put into the game, I hope you enjoy it.

Both sound and graphics are detailed and nice, and the black and white look adds to the mood.
This is contradictory with the theme but...are you planning to expand on it? Unit queues and the ability to cancel a building's construction would be a nice addition 0:-D

I'm so glad that someone finally took a shot at making a small game that is along the lines of this video!
Great job!
And like FenrisWolf mentioned, very easy to understand with a simple and clear GUI (a big contrast with my game). Mouseover and click.
I played on easy which is a good way to see what the game is.
Good good good.
The only thing is; after doing some Ludum Dares I'm not to keen on Autotracker anymore. The melodies all start to sound the same.
Simple yet brilliant!
Good job :p
This sort of RTS works great on mobile! You can probably add the other features back in: like queue, priority attack, etc.
As a starcraft player, siege tank is imba!
Impressive job!

That's a good thing for me, cause I love that fake game! :D
I really enjoyed it and I love graphics and gameplay.
It deserves a better music anyway. :)
Little drones looks familiar.
In response to your post mortem, you can use Right click in flash player since 11.2, you have to target this version or superior and it will work in browser.
Bonus points for TA reference.
