About the Game

Real time tactical board game, abstract graphics

You send commands to pods. Stack them up, move them around a procedurally generated board map known as a district. You need to re-conquer the districts of Mars, Earth and the other planets in our Solar System.

To conquer a district, move your target pod to the alien target tile. Convert alien pods into your own pods, by covering your opponent's pods. Use your terraform pods to alter the terrain. Move your pods toward the target tile to rescue them.

Game Controls

Pods from a selected perimeter can be instructed to defend / attack a target area, terraform and redefine the topology of the district.

Liberate 81 districts

The planets of our solar system are invaded by Alien machines. The Aliens set up 9 districts per planet. For each district you must bring down their operations by playing and winning 3 board games.

  • Tiny Pods Rescue - rescue 80% of the pods

  • Shapi - shape pods to activate gates and break Alien machines

  • Bridge the Pods - rotate pods to form a horizontal or vertical black line and shutdown the Alien energy grid

Your score increases the more districts and planets you win. 

Start with Mars Planet, to familiarize yourself with the mechanics of these games.
