PLANETFALL

Made a paper prototype of this game, decided it's fun enough to turn into a video game. Made this prototype in 4 days. Should I make this into the first game I ever finish and release?

You must mine for resources, build a colony and an army to defeat your opponent. Vehicles can only move orthogonally (not diagonally), so plan carefully.

Can play board sizes ranging from 4x4 (just for learning) up to 8x8, with bigger boards getting more strategic.

No AI yet, local multiplayer only (1v1). It's fun to play with a friend on a big screen and gamepad.

Buildings:
* Base (required for mining)
* Power plant (required to have buildings operate)
* Factory
* Smelter (converts crystals to diamonds)
* Turret (shoot everything within 1 square)
* Missile base (shoot everything within 2 squares)
* Missile shield (make missile attacks much less successful within 1 square)

Vehicles:
* Construction
* Mining
* Fighter (effective against vehicles)
* Demolition (effective against buildings)

Some updates for 0.7:
* You can now play on game boards ranging from 4x4 to 8x8.
* Added help screens to all in-game objects so you can now learn the game completely in the game
* Balancing and bugfixes

Sorry, it's a desktop-only game. Making it playable on the web would mean making it from scratch.

In other news, version 0.10 is up on Itch and now includes prettier graphics along with a tutorial for getting started.
