Corpus Crepuscular

Plants send a Sunflower Mech to colonize a distant planet.

Unfinished tech demo. The idea was that you would get random seed packs every day, plant them on the planet, and use their yields to upgrade your mech to fight indigenous fauna until all the zones of the planet were cultivated with plants.

I ended up spending most of the week trying to figure out how to tesselate 3D arching triangles across a sphere correctly. Ran out of time to implement most things -- but you can:

1) watch the opening cutscene

2) fly around on the planet

3) plant seeds that don't do anything

4) initiate combat which is technically barebones functional, just with little visual feedback. but you can look at that the cool lightning effect. if you win or die you get spit back out on the world

5) hit "advance day" to watch the sun orbit around the planet (of course the planet just rotates and the camera keeps up, like a real solar system, but "watch the sun orbit around the planet" is more evocative of a description)

NOTE:

If you get to the planet and can't move around, click on the game -- the browser probably didn't have focus

Controls:
