![]() ![]() But since I tried to show the game of as what it is, I felt the need to at least address it as an issue (when you are able to build longer slipways it was more a problem then in the early phase of the game). I already thought, that the lack of zoom is down to PICO-8 (even though I know nothing about it, but the comments show me it is very limited in what you can do with it). The lack of combat or negotiation with other factions might turn some players off, but anyone looking for a way into the grand strategy experience or simply a compelling turn-based puzzle game will get a lot out of it.Glad, you liked the video! - honestly, watching it makes me scream at myself, it is really hard to play this game while trying to focus also on talking about it ^^" And that’s the nice thing about Slipways - it’s a flexible game, one that’s compelling both as a contemplative exercise as a hardcore score attack. Of course, you’re free to go as slowly as you like, too. Since everything you do happens immediately, the years can tick by as fast as you can make moves. The 25 years allotted to you go by pretty quick, with nearly every action you take - launching probes, colonizing planets, connecting slipways - taking some number of months to accomplish. But the game generously allows you to undo turns, and since the total length of a normal game is less than an hour anyway, you don’t lose as much from a rocky beginning as you would in a game like Stellaris. Slipways can be a frustrating experience at times - I found myself restarting runs quite a lot early on, when I’d built myself into a corner and didn’t see a way of fixing the holes in my production chains. And the tech trees they provide are all hugely impactful, letting you destroy or move planets, build slipways across one another, and create transdimensional space angels. One species focuses on mining, another on trade. Each game, you select three of five species to populate the council, each of which has their own unique style, expressed through the perks they unlock as you complete tasks for them and the technology upgrades they make available to purchase.
