Conquer the galaxy

Every planet you seize starts pumping out ships, so the real question is: can you out-expand the galaxy before it swallows you?

Tap a planet, drag to another, and a stream of tiny triangles bleeds across the void. That's the whole loop: take planets, grow your navy, wipe out the enemy color. No turns, no waiting—just you, a slowly shrinking map, and an AI that doesn't mess around. Here's the thing nobody tells you up front: bigger planets pump out ships faster, but they also soak up a ton of units to capture. So you're constantly doing mental math—do I send 40 ships to grab that fat world and leave my home exposed? The AI loves to punish hesitation. I lost three rounds in a row because I got greedy for a 50-ship giant while the enemy quietly ate my starting cluster. Rookie mistake, but it taught me: always keep a reserve. The controls are just click/drag or tap/drag, and the visuals are bare-bones—colored dots and arrows—but the tension is real. Matches last anywhere from two minutes to a sweaty fifteen. Nothing feels better than baiting an enemy attack, then counter-sending from two neighboring planets and trapping their fleet in the middle. It's not fancy, but it's the kind of simple that gets into your head. I keep coming back for one more round.

You must invade all planets. To conquer a planet send enough units to it. Once conquered it will start generate units for you (bigger is the planet, faster it produces). To send units, first select the "departure" planet by clicking/touching it; th

Always scout the map first; neutral planets vary wildly in size and production. Don't overcommit to capturing a huge planet early—your starting world needs defense. Use two-pronged attacks: send from two planets at once to overwhelm a stubborn target. Watch for enemy fleets in transit; if you see a blob heading your way, pull back and counter. Bigger planets produce faster, so prioritize them once you have a stable base. If you're losing, don't turtle—expand aggressively to out-produce the enemy before they snowball.
