About game

It is a turn-based strategy game where you need to keep a research device in the center of the map charged. To keep it running, you need to collect ether drops, which you get by defeating enemies.

You can also spend ether drops to unlock new areas. These areas may contain more enemies to fight and more ether to collect.!

But be careful! The farther an area is from the device, the faster it disappears. If you stay in one of those fading zones, you might lose everything. Plan your moves and survive as long as you can!

  • LMB - camera movement
  • Scroll Wheel - camera zoom

Агааа, спалился маленький любитель ZZZ (много не играл, эта игра вдохновлена одним из ZZZ режимов?)

@msd :) Нет, в zzz нету подобного режима. Вообще изначально я хотел по другому раскрыть тему, но на второй день понял, что не успеваю и сделал что то знакомое. Получилась игрушка про защиту вышки в глубинах каверны.

I love the little animation of the UI for the turn change, but it's a bit difficult to get the hang of on our objective. Well done to you.

I did not understand why some enemy disappear in my face, otherwise very fun. Fun little mindbend with the controls with the tile system.

Не очень понял зачем в итоге нужно расширять территорию. Арт и саунд классный. Хотелось бы какую-то цель или сюжет)

Nice game loop. Chasing down enemies reminds me of hunting Koalefant in Don't Starve if you know what I'm talking about. Well done!

@barnabewild Thanks for the feedback. Sadly, the random enemy disappearing is a bug.

@mizaless Спасибо за отзыв, расширение нужно для нахождения большего количества мобов. Больше мобов > больше капель > больше мобов.

It reminded me of a math problem where I had to catch a cat. Well done!

Персонаж выглядит мило :flushed: Вот чего не хватает, так это поинтов(очков) и таблички с рекордами. А так вообще залипательная аркада, мне понравилось

It's an interesting game, a little weird, but fun, missing some kind of goal.

Nice game, but I think, I make this infinity (no changes in map after this, and always 1 mob when I defeat another and put his points to center)![Screenshot 2025-04-09 030818.png](///raw/0ef/36/z/6b953.png)

Great game, it reminds me of a friend who is a fan of miHoYo, and I just shared it to him.
