Win the devastating survival battle in the micro-world! Bacteria, viruses or nano-bots - lead your kind to victory in this fight for resources and dominate the whole world, even if the whole wold fits inside a dewdrop.

You get to manage the core of a colony, control production and recall of units, manage resources - you know the drill. The secret sauce is: you do it with just two buttons, while individual behaviour of units produces all the complexity of your micro-armies' interactions. Yes, this means just one keyboard is enough for a multi-player game!

Soup gameplay cheatsheet

News

We wrote down everything we know about game mechanics and broke it into 2-3 word pieces of advice, here they are:

An explanation of what's figthing what in this epic battle:

vs 2 SoupStuff


Then the basics:

  • spawn harvesters
  • get the resources
  • recall units to grow

Spawn harvesters Harvest resources


Recall units to grow


Then the "advanced" techniques :)

7 Warriors 8 Attack


9 Shield


We got some more unit types already, but they're waiting to be revealed.

And, finally the goal!

10 Dominate


We want to bake those into a promo video and, probably, use as help pages in the game itself.

  • Is this comprehensive enough?
  • I heard an opinion, that using text doesn't reach the goal, cause whoever watches a video, eventually get tired of reading and just stops. But surely, with phrases this short, that's not an issue, what do you think?

    Check out the latest v0.1.4 build, with an extra unit type and some bubbly juice added!

Soup EAP v0.1.4

New attacking unit type: now there are "mines" who stay mostly around their base, and hunters, actively seeking their prey, some juice added - units leave...

Soup EAP v0.1.2

Minor tweaks, non-static core positions. Play vs AI or multi-player on the same keyboard.

Soup EAP v0.1.1

Soup EAP v0.1.1

Demo 1 comment

Fixed balance - it was heavily unfavorable for the right base, limited enemies growth capacity, so win/loss is less random.

Soup Early Access Preview

Demo

Just 2 bases of 2 different kinds, 2 kinds of units, 1 kind of neutral species. Totally enough to rumble! Play vs AI or multi-player on one keyboard...

Hi :)
Cool project. I like the fancy but proffessional artstyle.
Mars attacks come in my mind, while looking at that.
