I thought this game was well known but I haven't seen almost any mentions of it recently. It's very weird for a FOSS enthusiast not to advertise one of the best open-source games of all time so here I am trying to make it spoken about again.

Disclaimer: this game may be addictive for some individuals. Player discretion is advised. If you notice any symptoms of addiction while and/or after playing the game, stop playing immediately and consult with your doctor. Untreated gaming addiction may result in severe consequences such as digestive disorders, social behavioral disorders, loss of job, and depression.

It's also on Steam for a couple of bucks if you want a simple way to support the dev!

Unironically, I had to delete this game from my phone because I wasn't getting work done. This game slaps.

Same, I played 8 hours in two work days (this is huge for me who usually plays 8 hours a month). This game is addictive as hell

I found out about it on Android first but had a hard time with the interface. I put it on my PC and am now fully addicted.

Unofficially the stylus on a Samsung phone is great for this kind of game

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I have a Samsung phone with a stylus, how do I get this game on my Android? I have almost no technical aptitude, so if you could be so kind to ELI5?

Definitely interested in trying this one out. Haven't dove into the FOSS games category yet

Gave it a shot this morning, I could see myself missing buses. However, I do really dislike mobile interfaces. My thumb is too wide to reliably click things

My thumb is not even that big but I still miss type.

I highly recommend this game! I played through it with a friend and really enjoyed it. I think I recommend it with more than one player

Wow this game is great! Who couldn't enjoy something like this?

I love a good FPS and I loved Mindustry.

Oops, fare point.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Thanks. Just picked it up on f-droid. Last update was 14 months ago, so I guess it's been balanced to perfection.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Well not really difficult, after you realize that you can put down buildings while on pause. The first few levels are easy tower defence... Later on you can win every level by building mid tier flying robots (iirc). Still... Great game!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

you can put down buildings while on pause.

Now this! is a pro-tip. Thanks!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

There are definitely some maps on the new planet where I seemingly realized that pausing was strictly necessary as the waves start overwhelming the defenses and units to the point that I either run out of resources or they somehow sneak one drone in that wrecks havoc on the supply lines that are already packed with not enough space to add the turrets that can deal with the advanced units. Eventually, it really became a race to finish as fast as possible. Also, the staggered unlocks or limited resources on some maps were brutal.
