I need to get out the mould spray more often.
Right.Anoxia Stationis that and also, a turn-basedstrategygame about drilling for oil.
The recently releasedItch.io demois rough around the edges, but I do adore the vibe.
In Anoxia Station you lead a huge, mobile rig into the depths of a dying world.
You’ll also have to worry about keeping your workforce alive, happy and non-mutinous.
You’ll definitely want to avoid the insects.
I do not know what lurks in the eggs and I do not wish to find out.
If anybody from my crew asks about them I will say that they are just really sticky rocks.
I am also going to build a watchtower pronto, so that I can equip my crew with grenades.
Each semi-randomised tile-based level is a mass of unholy 2D art, viewed from a cramped, angled perspective.
The soundscape consists of machine tones, tectonic rumbles, and unidentifiable organic noises.
Building anything here feels like a presumption, like you’re inviting the darkness to take an interest.
Again, I adore the vibe.
I’m less keen on the interface being made up of very small icons and text.
you might pause using F11, but you might’t queue up orders while time is suspended.
Right now, I’m only worrying about the tiles around my rig.
Especially the one with the sticky rocks.
According to developer Yakov Butuzoff, Anoxia Station takes particular inspiration from Into The Breach, Polytopia, andFrostpunk.
The full game is out… at some point.
