What is "Final Voyage?"
In Final Voyage a catastrophic breach has occurred on your space ship and you are tasked with containing it until you reach the base. In this fast pased RTS you juggle macro oriented building and resource management with micro heavy combat. It is highly recommended that you take your time and read this page, specially if you are new to the RTS-genre.

[3 Quick tips]
- Watch the mini map for breaches.
- Researchers generate currency when on Alien occupied tiles.
- A good plan B is to build a new base and Defend that rather than trying to contain the enemies.
[Strategy]
Early game
The key to the early game is to keep an eye on the mini-map in order to quickly see when your walls break. Build new walls as soon as possible. Focus on building a lot of units and ignore researching. Keep it simple, but effective. If you mess up you can always press [R] to restart and try again.
Mid game
Try to get a few researchers on enemy soil. Their resource gathering is key to keeping up with the growing strength of the Alien. Keep producing units and repairing the walls. If things are under control spend some currency on upgrading your units. This will come very handy later on.
Late game
At some point you will lose control of the alien and he will successfully breach your walls. Stop trying to contain him at this point as it is just a waste of resources. Pick a part of the map that is far away and construct a new base there. The goal is no longer to contain the Alien but to fight tooth and nail for survival and hope that you reach your destination before your last defenses fall.

Voice acting was a nice touch, the art is obviously incredible, it's really well put together, honestly.
I really, really like the whole command and conquer vibe.
I think I still didn't figure out everything, since there are so many things you can do - and on top of that it's all narrated. Great! For a game jam entry this is very impressive. Well done!
I will definitely play this game some more to find out about every little building details and units you can use!
Btw: just saw it played on stream, and HAD to play it myself, it looks so beautiful :)
I had some error when I alt tabbed, but those went away when I restarted again a couple times.
Only problem is probably my own fault, but I feel like I should be able to clean up the goo somehow. But whatever, I only noticed because I ran out of space! lol! :D
Only thing I would suggest for improvements is having a hotkey for building walls (or, each of the various build menus could have 1-5 select the 1st-5th element). I kept hitting "B, W" for some reason thing it would switch to building walls, and only ever got me half way there ^_^.
Check out my game if you want an entirely different kind of real-time star-ship strategy =).
I have rated your game, but all of my feedback was captured in the stream.
You can hear my comments in the archive at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/297520764
A minor bug; the numbers are in decimals? So you sometimes have like 349.99999 coins.
Anyway, the gameplay was very smooth, the graphics look great and I've got to say the voice actors did a great job!
Good job.
Maybe I would have liked to have more information on how to win the game, as this was pretty difficult to figure out. Otherwise the game is well balanced and fun to play, I had quite a good time !!
Graphics are nicely done, and the audio part is awesome. You did a tremendous work on the voicelines, which really makes a difference in my appreciation of your game. One of my favorite so far I'd say :) Great job !!!
Graphics/Audio/Voice acting were great.
10/10 would pick a corner and build three layers of walls again.
