The Formless by ianh
Control an invading alien race with the power to change shape. "The Formless" is a real-time strategy game where your units act as resources, shape-shifting into buildings and other units.
The basic controls are: click and drag to select units, right-click to issue a move command, and move your mouse past the edge of the game to scroll the screen.
You can play some music by hitting the speaker-looking thing in the top right.

If you're confused about what to do (the game really doesn't do a great job explaining it…), here are two tips to get you started:
1. Your first goal is to place a gateway under a white transportation beam. It will make more units for you.
2. Next, build a few pillars to increase the unit limit (shown at the top of the screen). Once you've built some, the gateway should start producing stuff.
After that it's up to you!
