Slipways is a tiny space empire builder on PICO-8. by saltlord 06/14/2020, 3:39pm PDT
This game is pretty okay for a little bit. Connect-the-planets with your weird little techs, build gates to move around resources, try to make prosperous enough worlds not to go bankrupt while making the network mutually supportive and developing more tech. Capped at 25 year game length to use a score benchmark for how well you do and I suck but it's still fun. It's a 4x missing eXterminate but whatever, maybe that'll be in the expanded game they're talking up on the itch.io page.

After I learned the tech tree and what all the worlds did I could still enjoy it just for the feeling of building something out of the logic puzzle I got handed by the RNG. Does more with less.
