Nice game, loved the animation of the star. The audio started to glitch out a bit when there were too many enemy ships on screen, but otherwise I had fun.

Really fun rts

Fun game! Dyson spheres are so cool. I'd love to see more in the future!

Interesting idea, got to build almost all segments, but then my base was just annihilated, ahhh :D The music is little bit broken on webgl though.

Nice game

A simple idea, with a nice RTS set up. I ran into some audio issues where the music clipped out whenever any kind of ship shot any other kind of ship. I did enjoy the feel of 'numbers go up', where eventually I had enough energy production and mass production to upgrade energy and mass for practically free. The game overall was quite easy, but I don't feel as if that's necessarily a bad thing. I never figurered out how or if you could control where your ships went. They all somewhat just moved to one spot and basically became an island of guns, and I never really got any feed back on my production facility's health. I assume that if that gets destroyed I lose. If it was part of the UI I recommend increasing it in size and making it more prominent, adding a bit of feedback each time you lose (or potentially gain health).

Simple but fun game. I agree with the other commenters in that the lighting and planets look stellar (*inter*-stellar perhaps? Hoho), though at the moment it's a bit too easy to get some early income and  start cranking out Frigates to make you untouchable. I'd also say the game is in dire need of a tutorial, it took me a few tries to realize what clicking the buttons did (I thought you had to place buildings down after selecting the button and was clicking everywhere on screen to no effect)

Overall though, great theme, I'd love to see this be developed further.

I like the lighting, it has potential for a future game! Very unique idea.

The lighting is perfect for this game.

pretty cool concept, definitely has potential if developed further •⩊•

Really cool! I like the interpretation of the theme as the kardeshev scale. The mechanics are well implemented as well, I enjoyed building up energy and mass while trying to defend with ships. Post jam this could be expanded easily, adding larger ships and more resources, etc. Overall, great entry :)

The art looks amazing. Really good small rts game. Everything is super polished and fun to play.

I'm not a big fan of real-time strategy, but this one takes me for a good 15 minutes.

Good job!

loved this game ! not only you dared to do an strategy game, but is also a lot of fun! congrats! I liked the style, especially of the star; and the sense of scale/progression - I went from 1 ship/second to 100 in a few minutes. It’s also fun that you didn’t limit the number of ships in the screen, my pc almost died with so many battleships at the same time !!

took me some time to realise that I had to build the last thing to win, but I beat the game in the end :)
