Features

  • Randomly generated universe, planets and aliens
  • 17 Ship types and custom hull designer
  • Squad based combat system
  • Tileset by Deon or traditional ASCII

Status

Alpha Status is still appropriate since there are still discovered and (probably) undiscovered bugs to iron out, and content to be added. Also some things don't work quite like they are supposed to yet. The game is however playable and winable.
