Short description

Hack into the retro-futuristic world of Payload! A 3D isometric puzzle-oriented game played on a cube. Its striking graphics and gripping narrative offer a noteworthy experience.

About the game

In a fictional portrayal of the early 1980s, the U.S is under authoritarian rule. Those in the lower class suffer harsh environments, prejudice, and excessive crime. With no designated political bodies remaining, mega-corporations run the nation. The most distinguished of all, Bullfrog, is a coveted target.

After splitting from a small resistance group, you set out on your own. Your goal is to overthrow the mega-corporation by hacking into their systems. With only a computer and AI software named F0-N1A5, you begin your mission.

Become familiar with each level layout to traverse individual tiles on a cube face. Avoid all potential setbacks by creating strategic paths.

Solve over 30 intricate levels with increasing difficulties and obstacles. Watch the story unfold as you reach the end to discover the truth behind the madness.

Key Features:
Visual appealing retro aesthetics and graphics.
Rich audio content and ambient sounds.
Minimalistic interface and graphic design.
Intriguing characters and mysterious storyline.
Mini-Map for level overview.
Dynamic obstacles and environment.
Polished control scheme and movement.

Play as an Octopus scientist fighting off sunken skeletons in this frantic aquatic Tower Defense! Discover sea life turrets from unique biomes: Pistol Shrimp! Navy Seal! Death Ray! Deploy turrets whilst dodging enemy bullets as you venture the seven seas!

About the game



Dr. Odin, an octopus scientist, has teamed up with his Dolphin colleague to put a stop to underwater skeletons’ reign of terror!

In this action Tower Defense game, you fend off hordes of skeletons by strategically placing sea creature turrets. Beware that as your line of defense falls, this quickly turns into a game of survival where you dodge around for dear life!

The game currently has 7-9 hours of playtime across 3 unique biomes, with more biomes to be added via free updates!

Features

  • Unlock Turrets: Your arsenal is filled with mechanized sea lives! Those cool inventions (such as Pistol Shrimp, Navy Seal, and Death Ray) will handle the fight. You’ll discover new turret types one after another - Figure out how best to utilize each of ‘em!

  • Skeleton Enemies: Did you know that most humans who ever lived are dead? Tons of skeletons end up in the ocean, and are terrorizing local ecosystems. Fight sword-swinging pirates, poison-wielding chemists, and even skeletal dragons… Those skeletons are sure to shake up your playstyle at every turn!



  • Unique Biomes: As you adventure the seven seas, you’ll add more creatures into your turret collection, and face new and exciting dangers. Adapting to changing environments is key to survival: Don’t misstep into a toxic brine pool, or forget your light in the darkness of the deep sea.

  • Turret Upgrades: Skeletons will sometimes drop a variety of Elixirs. Use them to boost turrets into different forms! Will you turn a turret into a frosty ice machine, a powerful mutant, or a shadowy stealth weapon?



  • Boss Fights: Special levels featuring larger-than-life boss enemies with formidable abilities!

  • Awesome Upbeat Soundtrack: Seriously, the composers are amazing

  • Mostly created by one person, while doing college


“The ocean awaits us to reclaim - Let the Operation Octo commence!”
- a message from Dr. Finn the Dolphin (who really needs your help because he’s too lazy to do the work himself)

Short description

Spacebase Startopia captivates with its original mixture of economic simulation and empire building strategy paired with classic RTS skirmishes and a good dose of humor.

About the game



"Help, we're all going to d... Wha... Oh, excuse me, it seems my system is no longer up-to-date – [old memory status deleted] – so, much better… WELCOME to the Spacebase Startopia! I'm VAL, your helpful and efficient Space Station AI!

According to my records, this Station hasn’t been used at all in the last 17 years! How very strange. Furthermore, it would appear that you are the only rational life form in this Sector. Well then, CONGRATULATIONS! I hereby officially pronounce you Commander of this Space Station! Hopefully you will enjoy more success than your predecessor who, according to the logbook, er… ran into some wormlike Aliens… Oh, nothing to worry about!

To keep the same thing from happening to you, there's a lot you're going to have to do. Amongst others, there’s the development of further Sectors, maintenance of the three vital Main Decks as well as the customer acquisition and entertainment of our extraterrestrial visitors, who provide us with sufficient Energy for our plans for global improvement. Oh, and before I forget – it's probably just a bug in my security protocols anyway – but my sensors are showing just loads of enemy creatures in all of the other Sectors…

So, what are we waiting for? Let's get to work! Let us join forces to conquer space."




Spacebase Startopia captivates with its original mixture of economic simulation and empire building strategy paired with classic RTS skirmishes and a good dose of humor. In addition to the challenging single player Campaign and the versatile battle mode, there are also competitive and cooperative multiplayer modes for up to four players. And as if maintaining the three Space Station Decks, entertaining the eight Alien races and defending against enemy invaders were not enough of a challenge, the dynamic narrator AI is not going to mince matters and commentates the events in a lovely but sharp-tongued manner.
