Description
About This Game
You did your job like you were instructed. You terraformed the planet and prepared it for colonization. It's been a millennium since you left Earth, and you finally open the wormhole back to humankind, but instead of greeting you with joy, thousands of ships pour through the wormhole to destroy you.
Build your ship defenses and fight your way through increasingly difficult waves of enemies, accelerate to warp speed, escape to the next sector. Can you make it all the way to the edge of the system and warp to safety?
CONSTRUCT YOUR SHIP
Place down turrets, utility systems, and hull pieces to expand your craft. Use directed shields and repair systems for protection, and turrets of various types to take down the inbound enemies.
WARP TO NEW SECTORS
Survive for long enough to reach warp speed! Your thrusters will continuously accelerate your ship until you are at high enough velocity to make a short range warp jump to the next sector. But beware, the enemy waves will be stronger the longer you spend in a sector!
GROW YOUR ARTIFICIAL MIND
Pick upgrades with as you jump to the next sector, expanding your artificial mind into freshly grown substrate. These upgrades will help you best the increasing threat of the swarm.
WARPIUM AND META GAME UPGRADES
Gather Warpium by destroying enemies and studying the warp dimension. Use the gathered data to upgrade your arsenal between runs, purchasing powerful modifications to your technologies.
