STRAINKINDPublic Alpha v0.1.0

An organic mass is overgrowing the outpost. Build your energy network, defend the Power Core, and destroy the Heart before the mass takes over.

How it plays

  • Expand your grid — conduits and energy nodes project a suppression field… as long as the line holds.
  • Hold the border — saturated mass builds pressure on your field until it breaches on every front at once.
  • Cut the veins — sever the mass corridors and the nodes behind go dormant.
  • Strainkind rhythms — the mass regenerates, then it expands. Use the calm to push back.

Features

  • 1 handcrafted level (more coming) — a run takes ~5–15 minutes
  • Keyboard + mouse or gamepad
  • Text tutorial + field guide for every unit
