submission for Micro Jam 061 (Islands) hosted by  tommy · #microjam July 2026

You start with nothing.

But nothing is relative...

 You are an elite robot from a spacefaring civilization (Which itself is down on its luck fighting a losing war somewhere....out there).  You have been assigned Earth but Earth is low priority.  The forces on Earth are fighting some kind of vague alternate Pacific Theater of World War II but will not hesitate to shoot anything alien on sight.

Hence the local scene is Island Hopping.  Destroy local human forces to collect scrap and defeat their forces so your Space Alien Civ can take over Earth.  Hit the "V" key to forge other autonomous robots which in turn in some cases can sub-command and upgrade and build robots recursively.  So the game progresses from survival to shooter to strategy game as your forces get larger.  Who knows, maybe the High Command will take pity on you and send some help....but you've got to prove yourself in battle first.

This ended up beng a really cool really MESSY RTS in the tradition of Total Annihilation and I didn't expect it but I am so fond of it already for being crazy. use the God Mode cheat i think if you're evaluating it to tour it because it's really unforgiving even on the easy settings.
