A game where you fight entrophy, i very much like it, you really get into playing the swarm and each decision has its cost.

The enemies are well thought out, the small turrets makes the clock tick so that stalling is not an option, the shield prevents rushing and the cannons are the bane of inattentive players. The nature of the game means that Lancheste's law is more prevalent than in any other, kill many enemies at the start and the run is a piece of cake, mess up the beggining and time will erase your fleet; a fix could be regeneration from both sides, gaining ships with time and turrets growing on unnocupied places, making the player adapt on the fly, avoid focusing one side and making the end-game challenging as well.

The controls could be faster, the slowness of the cursor means that sometimes you have to waste a lot of time just getting where you need to be and others getting your ships killed because you wont ever be able to get there. But speed aside the game is fair, you need to make calculated decisions of when and where to shoot, there is no way to brute force your way to a win.

Theme, is any RTS a good thematic entry for this jam? After all they always have a Only one commander, you have Only one boss to fight but it never feels like it, the focus is always on the swarm not the cursor, the focus is on the specific enemies, not on the boss as a whole. So it technicallly fits the theme but not in spirit.

Originality, this game is truly original, the mechanics, the controls and the fantasy it delivers is not only unique but excellent.

I loved this game, i dont think is the most fitting for the jam but nonetheless is a great entry. Please make a tutorial to get confortable at first, create more content (levels, enemies,etc) and launch this game, a mobile version would sell for sure.

Really fun game. It's really satisfying when you manage to hit a big attack, and I can see myself playing it again later.

The shields, though, could be improved: they recharge pretty fast, so you can't wait too long to attack, but if you don't wait long enough your Attack command will not reach many ships. I understand the risk/reward here (and the need to make EMPs relevant), but it doesn't feel quite balanced yet. Also, they could have a little timer showing when they will activate again.

Another suggestion is a Cancel command, so you can cancel (obviously) a misclicked/wrong order. Then again, properly choosing orders is part of the challenge.

Ok. I love boids. I love boids controls. Original idea. Sweet gameplay. Just great mate.

5 STARS x3. That's it.

As French people don't say: "Merci. De rien. Au revoir messieurs dames."

5 stars in everything!

MAN this was good.  Brings me way back to playing stuff like Gun Metal and having to take apart huge giant flying ships, destroying its cannons and shields to get your way to the core.

Or even destroying military bases in Mechwarrior games, having to take out turret control towers and key buildings!

AHHHH YES

more of this please, seriously.

Maybe moving the almighty dot with the mouse? Randomly generated bases? Bigger ones (of course) or regenerating ones?

Please do give alternate controls though, couse the keyboard ones were quite weird indeed, maybe something more streamlined like ZXC could do the trick!

also, maybe scalating the Core's life with the amount of terrain left? So there is not much "already won, but just have to take out the core" scenarios. Or maybe add one of the superturrets to the core, so its kinda final boss-y.

Anyways, gonna keep this one downloaded in my pc. One of my favorite games so far!!!! Huge props!!
