About This Game

Story
The year is 1976, the recent discovery of a new metal named Radallium has made its way into civilization. The metal has allowed for rapid technological growth in a very short amount of time.

You however are trying to stop this - As an employee of the United Nations, you have been sent on an important peacekeeping mission to protect a rock deeply embedded with Radallium. Rock Co will remain relentless and do ANYTHING in their power to retrieve that rock you are so desperately trying to protect, how far will you go to protect it?

[h1]A Rough Little Gem With A Lot Of Potential[/h1] I bought this game because I thought it had a cute concept and I liked the name. It looks sort of like a more involved tower defence game so I thought for $3, why not? The game controls by moving your ship with W and pointing, but you have limited fuel causing you to be careful about how much you move. Your primary weapon can overheat and with some items that can happen really fast. Making up the meat of the game, there are upgrades for the rock and your ship, many of which are standard upgrades that increase speed, health, regeneration. The rock itself can be upgraded into a habitable planet. There are mechanics to provide food and water for the people on the planet, but there doesn't seem to be much of a reason to except for some seemingly random events that are quiestionably useful. The rock can also be upgraded with circling drones that you can specialize in a branching upgrade tree. I think these are some of the most interest...

If you have some money to waste, go on. But it gets boring very quick.

A fine rouglike-ish game with upgrade system and permadeath. Pretty glitchy at times at not the best game to look at, but it has its charm! Give it a try!

The game is okay for what it is compared to its asking price, but it needs a lot of work if it wants to be anything more than that. You can't remap any of the buttons, there's no way to switch keyboard layout (if you use AZERTY keyboards for example) and there's no controller/gamepad support either. This makes it almost impossible to play for those whom are left handed or disabled. The game throws you right into gameplay without explaining what any of the upgrades or buttons do and I'm pretty sure I didn't see any tutorial or information screen.

Cute game, really could use some controller support for causal gamers in their house.

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could pla...

Note: got the game on sale. ^^; A not-too-terrible little rogue-like with a focus on balance. Shoot or move? Sustain planet or increase damage? Kinda fun concept. :) No idea why the music doesn't work, though. o.o;;
