More about this game
In this turn-based strategy game, your goal is to keep your squad alive for 8 turns against endless alien bugs. You command two astronauts and a drone on a 7x7 grid. Each turn, you can move your units or attack bugs within range. Collecting energy cells restores 1 HP to the unit and increases your score. The run ends in victory if any unit survives past turn 8, or in defeat if the bugs eliminate your entire squad.
Tips
- The drone, Bolt, only moves 1 space but has a range of 4 and deals 2 damage, making it a great sniper.
- Astronauts move 2 spaces but only deal 1 damage, so use them to grab energy cells and finish off weakened bugs.
- Bugs have 3 HP and deal 1 damage. Keep your units out of their 1-cell attack range whenever possible.
FAQ
- How do I heal my units?
- Move a unit onto an energy cell on the grid. This restores 1 HP to that specific unit and adds 1 point to your score.
- How long does a game last?
- You must survive for 8 turns. The turn counter is displayed at the top of the screen, and the game ends in victory after turn 8.
- How do the enemies behave?
- During the enemy phase, bugs move toward the closest living unit. If they get within 1 space, they deal 1 damage to that unit.
