Nanuleu is a RTS/Tower defense game where you control a network of magical trees that need to survive and defeat the enemies that attempt to destroy them. In this game your only task is to plant, but while doing so you need to choose between expansion, resource acquisition and defense. Your objectives are to capture certain points on the map and destroy your enemies, before it is too late. The game features five different scenarios: First Contact, Invasion, Exploration, Counterattack and Remnants. **Second place winner of the Indie Game Maker Contest 2015. "This is definitely a game that you’ll keep wanting to come back to time and time again." - App Advice "Nanuleu is an excellent strategy game with tower defense elements." - iTopNews

Read full description

Two fleets face each other across a star map that does not exist yet. You build it, one tile at a time, as you explore. A turn-based board game duel, played solo against the AI or with a friend across phone, tablet and PC. A game lasts about twenty minutes. HOW YOU WIN First to conquer five planets in ten turns takes it. Lose every planet you hold and the game ends there. EVERY TURN, FOUR DECISIONS • Explore — place a tile and open a new stretch of the Celestial Vault • Harvest — collect Star Pepper and Celestial Vanilla from the trading posts you hold • Manoeuvre — move your galleon and frigates, spend your crew cards • Build — buy frigates, raise fortresses, pay a planet's price THREE NATIONS, THREE WAYS TO PLAY The British Royal Navy, the French Royal Navy or the Spanish Armada. Each fields its own captains and its own crew: the Spanish Governor talks a planet's price down, the French Lady of the Night fills your holds, the Gunner opens fire. You pick two captains and five crew members before the first tile is laid. That choice shapes the whole game. NOTHING IS FREE Your holds never exceed five spices. Firing costs a Gunner card. Your captain's ability only triggers if a Chief mate is there to relay the order — and if your galleon falls, your captain goes down with it. SOLO OR TWO PLAYERS • Solo — face an AI that drafts its hand, plays its cards and races you to the fifth planet • Duel — play a friend across Android, iOS and PC HAND-DRAWN CELESTIAL CHARTS Engraved constellations, gilded compass roses and inked portraits: Efemeris is played on an old star atlas that slowly fills with light. A complete game. No ads, no in-app purchases. Available in English and French.
