Morpheus of Mars

Morpheus of Mars is a real-time action strategy game. Or, at least that was the ambition. It's more like, have you ever wanted to play StarCraft but with way less features? Then you have GOT to play this game! :smile:

**There is an HTML5 version, but if you have any issues, I have included a Windows download as well**

Update 4/5/22: Added a check to force 1600 x 900 resolution for itch.io playback, some graphics / text may be slightly off due to resizing, however.

Follow instructions in game for system startup (uses A and D keys on keyboard)

Once you have some drones, you LEFT click to select a drone (left click anywhere else to de-select all drones)

With your drone selected, right click on various things for interactions, as indicated below:

- Click the green crystals to harvest minerals. When the drone is full or the crystal location is empty, drone returns to the dome to deposit minerals. Crystals re-grow over time.

- Click on the antennas to repair them and begin to send your distress signal. More antennas repaired means a faster distress signal, but WATCH OUT! Once you fire up your first antenna, you awaken the unruly aliens hiding just below the surface of Mars!

- Click on your dome to repair it. If the selected drone is carrying any minerals, it will deposit them first. If the dome health is less than 100%, the drone will begin to repair the dome at a rate of 1 health for 25 minerals.

If minerals drop to 0, the drone will keep attempting to repair until the dome reaches 100% (other drones can deposit minerals while the current drone(s) repair the dome.

When the dome reaches 100%, drones will STOP repairing so you will need to select them and right-click on the dome if it gets damaged further.

Things which were unfortunately cut for time:

- The instructions mention that Dyna and Mo may occasionally break down. This never happens, because it took a lot longer to get them to behave for the intro and frankly Rubix was tired of dealing with them any further.

- Turrets, because I ran out of time to implement them.

- More music and sounds, because I finally got the exports working with about 2 minutes to spare before the Jam deadline
