HOW TO PLAY
- You start with a small base, with enough space for 6 rooms and 6 turrets. Leveling up will increase the size of your base and the available slots.
- Enemies start appearing after the first level and enemy waves will get more dangerous as you reach higher levels.
- You'll gain XP when destroying enemies and when adding rooms to your base.
- Click on the ships passing by to increase your population and gain a few extra credits.
- Use credits to build rooms and turrets. The turrets will automatically shoot incoming enemies.
- There are 5 types of rooms you can build:
- Offices generate credits over time. Credits are needed to build rooms and turrets.
- Greenhouses produce food over time. The people on your base consume food. If not enough food is available, your base will start taking damage.
- Maintenance rooms slowly repair your base over time.
- Cabins increase the amount of people who can reside in your base. People give a bonus to resources production, base maintenance and turrets accuracy.
- Generators charge the energy meter over time. When the meter is full you can use the "BOOST" button to get a temporary speed bonus to healing, shooting and credits generation.

I cannot understand why this is not more popular, very cool game! It would be nice to be able to destroy turrets to replace them with the better version.
Also, the fast ennemies are impossible to hit! But the game is so much fun, I had a blast playing it.
Thank you very much for your comment, I really appreciate it!
You're right, I should add a functionality to replace the turrets. And the fast enemies are indeed tricky to hit, though it's possible with a high enough population (in addition to the healing and resources bonus, population also gives a bonus to the turrets accuracy/bullets speed).
I'm really glad you had fun playing this game!
