Build a network of planets in this slick scifi strategy
I’m as excited aboutSlipwaysas any game coming out this year. It’s a pocket-sized 4X about building a network of planets, and each game is designed to be completed in under an hour. I loved its demo during the Steam festival, and the full game is out now.
Here’s the announcement trailer:

Around that core lies other systems, including science research, a council of aliens to satisfy, and more that elevate it from simple puzzle to rich strategy game. But it retains a simplicity that allows you to focus on important decisions and finish a game or two in a lunch break.
It also looks and sounds wonderful. Slipways began life as aPICO-8prototype (still playable now), and the leap from simple pixel art to its gorgeous 3D and uber-polished UI is remarkable.
