The game was planned in a way to maximize game time - with shorter game time and less 'grindy' mechanics - instead of the long games that the genre is typically known for!
Any and all feedback or critique is welcome! This is my first game, so I hope you guys enjoy it!
Thank you to all the artists who were kind enough to provide free licenses for the use of their artwork! I have made sure to include their username and a link to their itch.io pages in the "Credits" menu within the game!

very nice game tho, i have also submitted a game. good luck!
I found another bug. After constructing many ships, newly constructed ships simply disappear and cannot be assigned to any fleet.
gotcha! I believe I have found the cause of the bug after some thorough investigation! I will have a patch for that lined up in a few days, thank you for the report and comment! Happy holidays and happy new year, have a great rest of your day!
I used chrome to test the game, I see that you are using a different browser - that might be the issue since the game currently works for me. I am not super sure what settings could affect playing a HTML5 game in the browser, and my limited research didn't reveal anything telling. I would suggest - if possible - trying the game on chrome. Unfortunately past that, I am not able to help and I greatly apologize for this. I will do more research over the coming days to see if there can be any resolution to this over the long term!
have a great day and thank you for the comment! :)
There's two possible reasons for the error:
1. I am using Edge
2. I am accessing itch via proxy (because school)
I will try using Chrome to play the game and it will hopefully work.I have a feeling that the error is caused by the proxy I'm using, because using Chrome did not work. If I can, I will try out the game on a different computer later. Cheers!Awesome! good luck! I hope you can get it to work, if not, feel free to report back what happens! I want to help in any way I can!
- Fleets make it to Thilia and then glitch out and cannot be sent to Tuheron or even Crivo
- Assigning ships to fleets is somewhat tedious. Assign-all or selecting a default fleet would be nice. Currently there is not really a use for multiple fleets.
I appreciate the simplicity and the quick pacing of the game. The music and art style are relaxing and the interface is generally intuitive and easy to understand.
Thank you so much for the feedback!
I will investigate the bug (most likely just a small spelling error :) ) and hopefully get a patch by tomorrow morning ready!
I do 100% agree with the points you brought up about fleets and will be working to add those features with the next update! Multiple fleet battles would be an amazing feature to add!
I greatly appreciate the compliments! have a great rest of your day!
Bug found and patched! (hopefully :) )
