About the Game

Micro Solar Punk

Micro Solar Punk combines humor, a critical vision of humanity’s future, and a hybrid strategy system that lets you decide how and what kind of challenge you want to face. Gameplay revolves around the modular and procedural generation of soil blocks, which you must move, dig, and use as your only means of defense against the relentless attack of advanced robotic beetles.

BTL-B00M

The game features a base of 48 replayable levels, each different thanks to procedural design. In every run, you’ll need to adapt your strategy to complete objectives such as:

  • Flattening the terrain.

  • Finding the three hidden treasures.

  • Facing (or avoiding) enemy attacks.

Game Modes

  • TBS Mode (Turn-Based Strategy): every time you move, enemies move too; if you remain still, time is paused.

  • RTS Mode (Real-Time Strategy): the same mechanics, but more intense—enemies and destruction progress whether you move or not. Perfect for players seeking a greater challenge.

  • X2 Mode: the ultimate difficulty. Play through the 10 base levels in either TBS or RTS, but with double the enemies and half the missile response time. Only for the most extreme players.

  • Level Editor: create your own challenges. Choose the game mode, the number of enemies, the size of the terrain, and the types of attacks you’ll face.

In a not-so-distant future…

Trying to escape its responsibility for climate change, humanity makes the most unexpected decision: shrinking itself to an absurd scale in order to delay and minimize its environmental impact.

But not even the greatest scientists imagined that a tiny and hostile world was waiting—ready to defend itself with weapons we never knew the creatures of our planet possessed.

Every great civilization needs solid foundations, and in Micro Solar Punk you are tasked with this miniature yet monumental challenge: terraforming just a few centimeters of land to lay the groundwork for a new society in a “world within our world.”

KRB

Humanity will have to resist and reclaim a territory it once took for granted… or maybe not.
Will it repeat its self-destructive cycles, or will this new perspective allow it to integrate with its surroundings and find balance with the planet that hosts it?

Key Features

  • Hybrid strategy: switch between RTS and TBS depending on your playstyle.

  • An ironic and critical story about humanity’s repeating cycles.
