Automaton Annihilation

Automaton Annihilation

First demo with full gameplay!

Automaton Annihilation is a strategic game about automation and resource management. Use the available resources efficiently to expand your base, but make sure to have defenses in place to protect the Architect!

The game is actively being developed, so expect frequent updates :)

Controls:

 - To select a unit or a group of units, use the mouse to drag a selection box around them.

 - Use the right mouse button to move a unit

 - Actions the unit can perform will show up in a panel in the bottom left corner. Use the indicated shortcuts or click on the buttons.

 - Use shift to place multiple buildings in a line and to queue actions after each other. Use space to put an action in front of the queue

Some hints for the early game:

 - To avoid getting deadlocked (by being out of resources/energy), select the Architect and start building a few Windmills (shortcut ZC) and a Mining Drill (ZZ) on top of an iron resource patch (dark blue tile). Place a Conveyor Belt (VZ) next to the Mining Drill pointing into a Furnace (VX), and put a Chest (ZQ) next to the furnace.

 - When not in Sandbox Mode, enemy troops will soon start coming for your Architect, so make sure to place an Energy Tower (XZ) between you and the enemy.
