Flotilla

Ever found yourself on the run from space deer because you helped some cats hide their stolen equipment... no then get your ass on Flotilla an Indie game that I am in love with because the game play is beautifully simple and the soundtrack is absolutely incredible.
Here's a picture of a those cats I was talking about:



















So the basis of the game is you have 7 months to live and two spaceships at your disposal (to start with anyway) so you set out to have your last adventure and lets just say it gets pretty whacked out crazy. It has a sort of Faster Than Light feel about it with the choosing where to go and what happens except you aren't getting chased by anyone, apart from your looming death that is. Anyway so there are really two types of game play, the navigating and the fighting (which by the way is done superbly).

So the picture with the cats doesn't really show what the, lets call it a map screen is really like so below you'll find another picture of the navigation map screeny thing.



















This is the travelling screen and as you go to each planet things happen and you get points. Why do you get points, because there is an online scoreboard.
This game is available on Steam for  £6.99 and there is a free demo on Steam.
You can also go to their website which is http://blendogames.com/flotilla/ and buy it for £6.22.

Right onto the battle screen as shown below, looks pretty hectic but it is much the opposite.



















The combat in this is turn based so you select where you want a ship to go first across then up and down and then what orientation and what the primary target should be.
Ending it here as I am going to go play it and I suggest you do the same.

Thanks for reading
