A downloadable tech demo for Windows

You are a Battle Command who has to deal with a broken system and is unable to get any work done.

IT finally arrived and things looked promising. Scouts can attack or wait enemies out for a generic item. The outposts can be captured, one by one.

Finally drone support! Which is nice against this nasty fog of war.

At least the interface is working a bit better, but I suspect nothing is actually happening.

Maybe you'll be able to get IT to bring you a new system in a few days that actually works. If you're lucky...

In the mean time, might as well learn a bit about the system.


What was once going to be a strategic puzzle game inspired by the board game Battleship and Mindsweeper is now a game featuring a neat, elaborate, and extensive  button system design.

Go ahead, select a Scout.

Now click and hold down your mouse button on the Command Grid. Yeah...

Then slowly move your mouse away from the cell and watch as it turns from blinking shades of bright blue to a dark red!

Oh, man... that's intense!

There's a few other cool things.

Place the scouts (yellow square on the right of the screen) on the map to see the few events I've programmed in.

Black screens with white text and a progress bar!

What?! I'm in!

Originally there was going to be a fog of war, but with so little to do, it would be rather boring to do anything, so I removed it.

Now there is fog of war and placing drones and scouts will allow you to see what's up ahead.

Oh, Yeah...

Even with it incomplete, I'm still proud of what I accomplished and am looking forward to see what I can do with this.

There's more of those black screens with white text that'll disappear when you click on them but won't screw you over if you accidentally double click!

Now that's progress...

So check it out today!

Oh! One more thing.

If you want to play it at the official 64x64 pixel format, just resize the game.

I paid some special attention to that too!

:D
