Galactico

Galactico is a tiny strategy game. Build ships, colonize planets and gather resources.

Instructions

Just the mouse. Use the right mouse button to drag and the mouse wheel to zoom in or out. Left click for any other action, like selecting a ship.

Instructions

At the center of your industrial empire is your home planet. All the resources brought there will be used to build new ships. The rarer the resources, the better the ships. 

There a four types of ships:

• A Colony ship can be send to a distant planet to establish a new colony.
• A Speeder is quick but carries only a single resource at a time.
• A Lorry has a farther range and carries two resources.
• A Carrier can traverse the entire galaxy and can transport three resources.

By default a ship only picks up resources that are relevant to planets and colonies in its route. Alternatively you can select a ship and change the resources it accepts.

In general a colony requires a certain amount of resources to convert them to new resources. Colonies are the key to acquire rare resources.

Just to let you know, there is no end game. Just enjoy the satisfaction of having automated ships going about their day (whatever a day means in space anyway).
