Short description

Slimezone is a mix of real-time strategy and tower defence, with a splash of RPG. Explore unknown planets, exploit their resources and defend your supply lines against the natives: the slimes. Along the way, upgrade your technology to go after bigger prizes on harder planets.

Weapons, research and items add up to thousands of combinations to experiment with.

Long description

Every mission starts the same way: a command post, a builder, a miner and a planet nobody has tamed. Build a base, set up mines, then hold your supply lines with towers, walls and tanks. The gold you need lies around ooze pools, and the slimes that live there want it back. Each colour of slime fights in its own way. Ember Gloops set the ground alight, Zip Gloops stun your vehicles and Shell Gloops shrug off bullets. Beat a pool and a Slime Worm may escape to start another one somewhere else.

You fight back with machines you design yourself. Pick a hull, fit weapons to its turret mounts and choose what it drives on: wheels, tracks, hover or six-legged walkers. Weapons, research and items add up to thousands of combinations, so no two armies have to look alike.

Missions feed a campaign that lasts. Sell your haul in orbit, finish objectives for bonuses, then spend the money between missions on new tech and HQ upgrades, and fit items won in battle to your best tanks. Each upgrade lets you take on richer, harder planets. Planets come in six biomes, each with its own trait and hazards, from night raids and sandstorms to volcanic vents and acid seas. They remember how much of their gold you've already taken.
