The year is 3035.

Climate change has been dealt with.

Mars has been colonized.

Faster than light travel is in it's infancy.

After progressing peacefully for hundreds of years humanity is on the verge of reaching for the stars.

Unbeknownst to them another species is already way ahead of them.

Without warning a large armada of extraterrestrial ships drops out of hyperspace above Earth.

Nations frantically decide whether to light them up or hold their fire.

After a tense standoff contact between the two races is finally made.

The two races are able to use their advanced technology to communicate.

Both side appear peaceful offering gifts to one another.

The visitors seem harmless so humanity lowers its guard.

The peace is broken suddenly when an even larger fleet drops out over Earth with several blinding flashes of light.

A wave of darkness envelopes the planet as several massive electromagnetic pulses disable Earth's power grid.

Humanity decides that war has just been declared and aims what's left of it's planetary defenses at the foreign armada.

The warheads hit their marks and wreak havoc on the alien fleet.

The night sky is lit up in a kaleidoscope of detonating nukes and shrapnel raining back down to earth.

Shortly after being hit by the first wave of the barrage the alien fleet lights up with energy shields rendering everything humanity can throw at them ineffective.

By the time the invaders fire their first shot world leaders know all is lost.

In a last ditch effort to ensure humanity lives on ships equipped with FTL drives are loaded with as many people as they can fit and set a course for any exoplanet that may be habitable.


Gameplay -

With Earth lost to alien invaders you'll need to take on the role of a Corporation that owns one of the FTL capable ships that escapes our solar system.

* Colonize an alien world and build up an economy in a persistent online universe shared by all players.

* Harvest resources from your planets to build and upgrade Ships Weapons and Support modules.

* Create Colony Ships and expand humanities reach to even more planets and moons.

Fleet Battles -

Ships automatically fire at targets with most weapons. Some ships come with unique abilities such as Nukes EMPs Draw Fire Remote Shield or Instant Repair which can be used on demand making fleet composition and strategy important.


Price Ads and Micro-transactions -

* All content will be available to all users without paying a cent. Forever.
* Optional ads only.
* Uses the least invasive micro transaction system I can think of.
Micro-transactions can buy one thing: Time Crystals.
Time Crystals can be used to skip building and repair timers painting ships or re-rolling resources on a planet slot. Time crystals can also be obtained as in-game loot or from a rewarded video ad.
Build Timers are never crazy long forcing you to buy time crystals either up to 1 hour for the best ships.

Continued Development -

EO is created and maintained by one person.
I come from a PC background and I have strived to not just create another copy-pasted 2D mobile game where you pay to win.
My goal isn't to make a Sci-fi "clash of" game my goal is to make a mobile game with the intricacies of a PC game.
It'll probably take awhile to get EO to where I want it but I see lots of potential in the project and plan on seeing it through.

Performance Note -
Got lag or crashes? Try turning off "Beautify" and lower Texture Quality in the in-game settings.

Windows version available on the EO website: https://nullreferencegames.com/exoplanets-online/

Have Fun!
