Wow, you really decided to go all out, didn’t you? RTS is such a challenging genre to tackle, especially if you want it to feel right. Many players grew up with games like Age of Empires, StarCraft, or Warcraft, and they’re so accustomed to specific controls and mechanics that even getting close to that level is incredibly hard. For just a week of work, though, you did a fantastic job!

I tried the second level, defeated all the black units, and then got stuck. I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to do next. Adding more clarity or objectives in-game would help a lot to guide the player and reduce confusion.

Overall, this is an ambitious take for a jam, and you’ve already achieved something impressive by finishing a playable RTS game.

On a side note, I recently created an RTS Camera Controller in Unity with features like adding units to selection, deselecting units, grouping, jumping the camera to a selection, following units, and more. It’s written in C#. If you’re thinking about diving deeper into the RTS rabbit hole, I’d be happy to make it into a repository and share it with you. Just let me know—happy to help!

I grew up with RTS and it’s a genere that I find intimidating, so kudos on attempting it. I was a little confused with the controls and I believe the game could use some tweaks or at least some explanation on the game page. I understand the blue units cannot attack, so I need to make additional ones to distract the enemy? And then, the red units can attack, sometimes? I built an army of 4 and sent them to the enemies and they destroyed one but then just stood there. Great art.

Wow! I can't believe you were able to do an RTS in a game jam! I especially appreciate the multiple camera binds (as someone whose middle click isn't working). On a side note, the instructions for left vs right click are inverted for me, which should be correct  and in line with other RTSs (left to select, right to move). 

I liked your use of duality with 2 different unit types both managing the same resource. Combining them for high unit production becomes a natural progression and is a cool use of the mechanics.

Music choice was solid, I liked the polygonal art style, very TRON.

Some ideas for improvement.

Polish (duh). Theres some bugginess with the pathfinding, spreading out units when they walk, having a quick way to select different types, etc. Not really a valid complaint given its a jam game, but I thought I'd mention it.

The crystals weakening the void felt pretty unintuitive. I had a hard time grasping how they were actually affected (I think they have less hp or something?)

I think another cool idea would be to mirror the duality of your units in the void somehow. Lots of ways to got about this but its hard to go wrong increasing the enemy variety. I also wish there was a bit more time at the beginning to make plans before they immediately begin knocking on your front door.

All that said, really great job creating something of this caliber for the jam!

Interesting gameplay idea. The controls could need more polishing, both me and the enemies often gut stuck. The enemies are attacking the air a lot. The controls and the goal of every level are not really explained, sometimes you can plant crystals, sometimes turn them into friendlies, sometimes you have to destroy all enemies, sometimes fill all crystal slots.

I lost in the level against the big ones, that one had way too many enemies. No idea what to do there.

idea good implementation unfortunately let me down, it’s a pity that I can’t play a game with a good idea(
