Space Exterminators

Uploaded a Web version, but it is kinda broken right now - mission does not end.

This is a game about controlling a squad of Emergency Cleanup Employees from ISEC (InterStellar Extermination Corporation) on their mission to defend a research space station from the agressive spreading alien slime and rescuing civilians on the station.

This project started as Pirate Software Game Jam 14 Submission

State of the game:

Build 2023-03-18: Random station generator, Mission selection, Templates of shop menus, No progression between missions yet. 3 weapons, 1 usable item, 2 placeable defences, 1 enemy type, 2 controllable unit types.

Gamejam prototype: single static level, 3 weapons, 1 usable item, 2 placeable defences, 1 enemy type, 2 controllable unit types

Next update is sheduled for 30 March 2024

Game Features:

Tactical Pause - Analyze the battlefield and plan your squads actions while your brains are being fried by the Neural Acceleration (TM) overdrive implant (it's not that bad and it is covered by insurance anyway)

Inventory management - Equip your employees with different guns, manage ammunition and medkits, scavenge the stations for mor items and ammo.

Spreading Alien Slime - Alien slime is actively spreading across the station devouring scientists, items and parts of the station. It is your task to destroy it all or rescue as many civilians as possible and escape before you are overrun completely.

Deployable Defences - Use deployable barricades and automated turrets to fight the alien slime.

Mission Report - Get your mission report as a text file (it will be created in the game executable folder) to boast to your colleagues. If you survived that is...

Controlls
WASD or Arrow Keys to move camera. hold Q or scrollwheel and move mouse to rotate camera. scroll wheeel to change camera height.
Space to pause and unpause time. Uou can give orders to units while paused.
Right click on a unit to select it, right click on floor to deselect.
Left click to give orders to selected units. orders are contexual - what you click defines what order is used.
If they have weapon equipped and have ammo - soldiers will automatically shoot at enemies and reload.
Interact with item cases to pick up items. Each unit has 4 inventory slots and 1 equipped weapon.
Interact with controll panels to open and close door (keep in mind doors can be destroyed by the slime)
Interact with blue civilians to gain controll of them and then order them into the escape pod (or use them as etra manposer)

When you want to extract your team - get them and all surviving civilians into the escape pod you arrived in and press "Launch Escape Pod" button in the top right of the screen. Mission will end in a few seconds after that. Anyone outside the excape pod will be presumed dead.

Tip
As some point the slime growth will reach critical mass and you will run out of ammo, so be ready to escape with as many civilians as possible.

Future Development Plans

Future plans are to make randomly generated levels and between-mission progression to get better equpment and upgrade units, and more types of enemies and objectives, improve art and sound quality.
