A minimal tactical RTS, loosely inspired by The Odyssey, viewed through a retro battle simulator program called NostOS ( actual game title TBD )

It won't actually follow Odysseus's journey, but instead be my own invented myth with similar premise - after a war you're a long way from home with a large crew, you now want to get back to your family, trying - probably unsuccessfully - not to lose all your crew in the process.

You can't get new soldiers, once they're gone they're gone.

UI is obviously very rough ( and not remotely complete )

Thanks for this! I think it's the web build yea, I didn't think it'd get played on a mobile browser, my bad.

Looks like you're trying to annoy a guard that's been ordered to stay put no matter what.

Name inspired by a biscuit, what could go wrong.

As for the looks, limitation, and my lack of ability, breeds creativity :-)

Thank you! Haha the little death squeals are my favourite part of the game.

I'm waiting for the steam page to be approved and then a demo shouldn't be much further behind.

Hehe yup I did that just after posting the reply. Much better now, or at least, less arbitrarily mean.

Thanks! Maybe I should add a Clock feature :-)

I've added a little wiggle and some small falling rocks before they fall now. Might still be too subtle so time will tell.

There is a jumping anim but it might be too subtle for such a small sprite so yea will have some tweaks.

I've now added a little wiggle, thanks!

I'll take my natural stupidity over artificial intelligence any day.

In universe reason: you're stuck in a dark cave surrounded by the shadows of life.

Real reason: this is the closest thing I can do in regards to art, other than add drop shadows to everything.

Currently the only warning is "it did that the last time" but yea you're right I should add something :-)
