Hi, yes, I can create a linux executable and upload it shortly.

Hi @lampy, thanks for the detailed review of the game. I really appreciate the feedback. My kid and me made this in a weekend while also learning unity. So it's a bit rough. And has tons of bugs in it. I'll take your feedback into account and hopefully release v2.0 soon. 

You're not alone. I'm out of ideas too :D

I just uploaded the zip.

Thanks for the review, Boston Mendonca. The land isn't being generated. It's already there. It's just being discover (think fog of war). The critters discover land as they move. Also, the buildings have a line of sight of 2 units around them. And hence the land gets discovered when you place them.

As for the installer, Yeah, I can throw a zipped version. I thought an installer would be easier for folks.

I've never worked with music. But my 12 year old is pretty musically inclined. I'll ask him to create some for the game.

Thanks for playing, and rating :)

Save The Moon

https://whiskeylover.itch.io/save-the-moon

I made a space themed sim game along with my 12 year old kid. This is our very first game, and I think it came out pretty good. It has cute graphics.  

TLDR; - A comet is about to crash on the moon and the debris will cause the destruction of Earth. Save the moon! You have 1 year (or 30 minutes of real time). 

The game is limited to 1820 seconds, or 30 minutes. You either win or lose the game at the end of 30 minutes.

I'm looking for Critique on art and general difficulty level. I've tried very had to make it balanced, but it's a work in progress.

Synopsis - 

On March 9th, 2251, Dr Abaddon Trephor discovered that a comet strike would split the moon in half in exactly 100 years. The two halves would then make contact with Earth, causing Earth to explode. He tried to warn the people, but unfortunately he was ignored by the leaders of the Earth… until it was too late.  99 years have passed since Trephor made his prediction, and now we can clearly see the comet (codenamed XORF-2261) making its way to the moon and will collide with it in exactly 12 months time. As a last ditch effort, the leaders have sent you to the moon to build a defense station to blow up the comet in its path. If we’re lucky, we may be able to narrowly avoid this disaster and live to tell the tale.

Example graphics.

A mining truck is delivering moon ore to a refinery, while a shelter and a power plant are visible in the foreground.
