Machinations is a real-time strategy game where you manage and direct swarms of ships to take over and destroy your enemies. Plan your attacks carefully to gain the the most tactically advantageous Nodes (space-stations which build and house your fleet). Upgrade your Nodes with defensive lasers or build shipyards to augment your fleet. Capture super-weapons to cut swathes through your enemies' fleet. Play against up to three AI players in frantic, randomised melees matches. Or complete the Campaign mode to help Admiral Sudo (your robotic commander) reclaim his lost empire.

Different behaviour in 0.0.1 and 0.0.2 .

When in Quickplay mode (not sure about Campaign) , if the player is defeated and the user immediately places the app in the background, upon returning to the app, a blank screen is shown. From this point on, no more gameplay screens are shown - only blank screens.

In version 0.0.1, the device hardware Back button could still be used to bring up the in-game menu and end the current game.
In version 0.0.2, the device hardware Back button no longer works ; when returning to the blank screen, game sounds can still be heard, but eventually an Android message appears saying Machinations has stopped... upon acknowledging this, it actually returns to the Machinations main menu. Subsequent attempts to start a new game result in a blank screen again (unless the application is closed and re-launched) .
