This game has more than a passing resemblance to Eufloria, although it's not like the concept was totally new then either.

For the last level focus on getting only the 4 motherships, use ALL of your troops all the time:
1 Get the star gate
2 Get the oragne mothership
3 Get the red mothership
4 Get the last mothership
5 Gather all your troops on both stargates
6 ???

nice game, I love these types of games. But a got a bit of a problem: There is a white border around the game, it seems the flash is not resizing to my zoomed in browser.

the level progression is terribly difficult the further you get into the game, and unlike a human player, when you have multiple enemies, the AI can operate faster than you can, launching multiple fleets at your vunerable planets faster than you can counter attack them, so the AI's aggression is a bit flawed. I have found little use for the slider at the bottom of the screen. this would have been far better as a turn based game, or have some sort of upgrades available for you fleets. a good game, but nothing we havent seen in the previous Solarmax

Has anyone even beaten the last level? i have tried it on easy and it I still not have won. I have tried everything i can think to do. this is a good game but the inability to win is rather frustrating.

This is what's wrong with gaming. People complain that it's too hard because they are used to their instant gratification, spend 15 minutes to get a badge, and the developer is forced to make an easier game and dumb it down. Man you kids absolutely would not survive the brutality of almost every game that came out in the 90s.

For everyone having trouble with level 33, focus on capturing the two stations immediately and holding them. They produce ships quickly and destroy the black ships when they are in transit. Pay as little attention to the other color vessels and focus on the black. The black forces will conquer planets. This is okay for a while, though only let them conquer a few worlds. After they conquer a few planets, their forces should be spread out. and the few ships they leave behind at previously conquered worlds can be picked of by your forces. Also, leave some of ships behind to make it harder for the black forces to recolonize a planet. Do this for a while and the black forces will gradually be whittled down and destroyed. Hope this helps.

I love the intense music in the later levels. I keep coming back just to it. The game is also incredibly fun, and ridiculously hard on later levels but it all can be done on hard, just be prepared to hit replay alot.

lvl36: Rush the warp with everyone you have. Whilst taking it, you'll find the blacks probably attacking your planet. Respond with half your force, send the rest to the nearby battle station. Once the black attack is dealt with, they will attack another, but due to their speed, you won't be able to do much. Every time you win a battle, get to the warpgate, unless the planet you want to get to is adjacent. The long bit: Capture all the planets on your side, making sure the blacks don't get any. After, keep an eye on the number of blacks. If they're running low, get everything you have, send it to your warpgate and fire it into the centre. If not, keep building up and defending what you have. Make sure the blacks do not capture a battlestation! If you see this likely to happen, do anything you can to stop it. Finally, always warp into a battlestation you're attacking, else you're wasting troops. It took me three attempts and a long time to get this level beat, by damn, it's worth it.

well this game is freezing on me every time I try and play level 19 and that's really starting to piss me off so I was wondering if anyone could
help me with that.

Great game, Percentages instead of slide bar would make the controls a lot easier. I am however really struggling with Level 33. Its the only reason i am not playing right now, so any stategy ideas would be great

Pretty entertaining. There are a lot of these 'swarm' type games ou on the market that I hope the next big breakthrough that happens is to assign planets to relay to other planets after a certain % or number of population. That being said, this game HEAVILY favors one big 'death army' and chase their large 'death army' if you have numbers on your side.

For those complaining that the A.I. is too hard... plz just quit now. its not fun if the A.I. barely does anything smart and lets you stomp over every planet for every single level. The A.I. is perfect and if you're having that much trouble, why not set the game speed down lower. Use your brain and take advantage of situations that will occur. Most obviously, when two A.I. are fighting for a planet, don't join in like an idiot and just take an unguarded one. Use guerrilla warfare when possible and retreat from battles you know you'll lose. Be smart with your forces, attack major planetary structures when possible but only when you are sure you can capture it. Its not too difficult if you play like the A.I. themselves...

wow, this game is just amazing. nothing but sounds and a few music tracks yet its still very intense and fun. Great pacing of the game introducing new planetary systems like the warp gate and defensive structures as well as introducing a new race later on which appeared from no where and quickly took over non-defended planets making the game all the more challenging and refreshing! I chose hard mode because the A.I is quite intelligent and made moves that any sensible person would make. I never thought of them as frustrating or that they cheated, instead I smiled at how smart and persistent they were. I spent a lot of time playing this game and I feel as if a 5/5 isn't enough. This developer deserves more for this magnificent game. Kongregate, get off your ass and promote this game :D

Really nice AI the start is pretty much all random you don't have a "certain" path to take for the game to be won. I personally really like that, though it also adds to the difficulty lvl :) though just completed the game on hard mode all the way through in around 3 hrs so great job developing this nice game ^^ it was frustrating at times but you have less difficulty if you put the time to 1 at the start instead of the usual 2 its put on default :) well anyways Great job it really deserves a 5 star though an upgrade system for the stars would add a little depth to it though that would prolly make it easier by a lot :)

from lv 34 or level with blackhole army, just let dark army defeat your enemies :) and attack planet that no one defend it.. so at the end ure dueling againts dark army and it should be easy (space fortress that shoot laser is important, get them fast)
key for last level : get all four space fortress first then teleporter, ignore planets, and ure doing fine.. then teleport all ur troop to middle, win :)

The black opponent has the same moves and resources as you with a few exceptions- 1) it comes in later than the rest of people, with a lot of ships. However, it needs to take planets in order to regain ships, just like you do when you start with more ships htan your planets can hold. 2) it can use the atom thingy- when you take it, the mission ends as if you won, but when it has it, it produces units AFAIK. 3)You can't see exactly how many of them there are, but this shouldn't matter that much becuase you can see how many they are relative to you via the circles during battle.

5/5. Was an excellent waste of my time. It is tough to find decent wastes of time, these days, while at work. The only thing this game could use is an upgrade system that would allow the player to become stronger. Attributes such as, "Faster Travel Time" or "Faster Planet Takeover Time". Allow the player to upgrade those attributes multiple times, allow the player to grind previous levels to earn XP to spend on those attributes, and watch the next installment of this game move from "pretty good game" to "legendarily great online game."

What the heck is up with the "black invisible" opponent that randomly teleports in? You say the AI "has exactly the same moves and resources that are available to you." but I'm having a hard time believing that's true of the black opponent.

Developer guy. Why are the 4 planets fighting each other when theres a big black thing trying to kill all of them?
The ought to be more focus on fighting the blacks, or at least not fighting each other temporarily. Such as the two planets on each side not fighting each other. You know what I mean?

Quite liked it. Liked the lack of a 'true' story and more imagination based (Though it's silly that the colors are fighting one another in midst of the black). I was finding it relatively easy, personally, in the beginning, until the blacks showed up. Then I had to play each level like a bajillion times. It was fun, but I felt a lot of luck played into it (IE, whether the other colors would target you or each other in the beginning for a good start)

Excellent game. Hard mode is challenging and keeps you on your toes from level 30 onwards.
The AI plays a bit predicatable at times, though. That's about the only criticism, though.

I really like the difficulty of his game. It's challenging but far from impossible. It feels like I'm battling an opponent, not just comp stomping.
