In the distant future, humanity scours alien worlds for valuable resources to fuel the ceaseless tide of human expansion. On their quest, they encounter a machine-race powered by a sentient artificial intelligence that spans the galaxy & competes with humanity for control across the stars. Commander, you are tasked with meeting this challenge & securing dominance for our people. Your mission: to protect vital outposts & build a foothold across alien worlds scattered across the cosmos, each containing precious resources that could turn the tides of war.

Feature Highlights:

• Build & conquer: Construct a slew of resource-gathering structures as you fight to defend them from the incoming horde. Balance structure deployment with defenses to best the incoming machine-hordes.

• High-Tech Towers: Deploy an array of futuristic towers equipped with destructive cannons, laser arrays, & missile salvos to obliterate the machine menace. Be warned, you're just as liable to destroy your own infrastructure if you're not careful; mind your line of fire, Commander.

• Tiers of destruction: Advance through Tiers 1-3 of each tower to keep up with the strengthening tides of enemies. Can you balance the harvest of advanced metals, gases, composites & build more powerful tiers of defenses to protect your operations?

• Diverse Alien Enemies: Face off against a multitude of alien machine species, each with unique strengths & weaknesses. Adapt your strategies to counter armored mecha-beasts, swift infiltrators, shielded behemoths, & swarms of bio-mechanical inspired monstrosities.

• Dynamic Environments: Defend outposts in varying terrains, from rocky hills to icy alien moons & the scorching deserts of distant planets. Each environment presents its own ambience & hurdles.

Will you withstand the challenges ahead & manage your resources wisely in defense of your bases across the galaxy or will you be yet another forgotten casualty in the war against the Zephyr Horde?

About Azure Moon Games Ltd.:

I am a solo-indie game developer & artist who has been invested in games for all my life. I grew up on Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Skyroads, One Must Fall & Commander Keen just to name a few. I've always wanted to develop my own games & with this title, I've finally made that dream a reality. I want to build experiences that will capture the same sense of wonder I had growing up on simple, honest-to-goodness games. Games for gamers, made by a gamer.

I will never sell micro-transactions. I will never nickel-and-dime players or cut out content just to cynically sell it for an additional premium. I want to provide complete experiences that are made with a passion. I have so many ambitions & stories to tell, epic sagas that have lived in my imagination for far too many years that I'm dying to share with my fellow gamers.

Most of all, I want my newborn son to not only have these genuine gaming experiences as he grows up, I want to provide a successful company that I can hand-off to him, if he chooses to follow in my footsteps. 

Thank you for taking the time to stop by & read all this rambling. I hope you enjoy this first offering from Azure Moon Games! Ad Astra, Commander!
