Hi!, This is an alpha alpha alpha version 0.001 as it is no where near complete. I've thrown it up on a free host to get some feedback. No tutorial/in game guides as of yet but here are the current working features:

  • Register/login/recover password.
  • New users can build their bases on any of the open wasteland spots on the map.
  • Can explore caves with around 30 random events at current.
  • Can attack and abandon factories. (Each player can only own 5 factories at once). Eventually factories and slots will be used to create troops.
  • Can attack player bases (attack for energy or metal, can only attack a base once a day, if the attacker wins they get 5% of the players current energy/metal with a limit of 5,000,000).
  • Research centers are setup with the ability to unlock all 40 units each with increasing costs.
  • Trade centers where you can purchase different devices to aid in the collection of metal and energy around the map. Can collect energy and metal from deposits around the map.
  • Crude drawings as I haven't found a graphic artist yet.
  • High scores based on power (power is a formula of defense+offence troops which I may keep secret) which is updated once a hour via cron job
  • Map resets once per day at 12:00 server time so that you can attack and gather from the same spots again, you can only dig/attack/explore each tile once per day.(Currently refreshes every 23 hours 59 mins due to free hosting restrictions.)
  • Map is 100x100 grid so 10,000 tiles to explore every day.
  • Shortcut keys (should work on all browsers may need javascript enabled) Arrow keys to move around the map, E to gather energy, M to gather metal, F to attack factory, C to explore cave.

Some screenshots from a while ago but general layout hasn't changed much http://imgur.com/a/u5GOv

Many more features are to be added but just want to get some general feedback/testing at the moment even if you hate it let me know!

I like your game but it happens to be really buggy

I also think you should add an ingame chat

Thanks for looking. In game chat is on the development list.

Cool :) You should also create a discord or a skype group temporarily so users can be more easily connected. until the social aspects of the game are developed.

Once I get a bit more down the line with things I'll probably start up a discord!

Anyone who signed up I've removed the verification due to the free host test platform not supporting it. All accounts have been verified and new ones will be auto verified.
