Boid

Boid is real-time strategy at its most primal - your only resource is your army. No funds to manage or infrastructures to build. It’s a kill or be killed battle of rapid decisions to dominate the gene pool. From the Steam store page

60 of 169 · most liked firstFun cool RTS game. Simple interface and very strategic. Match making sucks. Nothing like being new just to get reamed by players with thousands of games under their belts. I like it but not enough to be some other player’s punching bag on a regular basis. If you like queuing against the same high level player game after game to get your ass kicked this game is for you. This game has about 10,000 registered users according to its ranking lists. Over 8,000 of these users are the lowest…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty cool game, reminds me of Eufloria and Spore.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →5/10 Beautiful RTS; weak GUI; bad AI units (your own) So, this is F2P for multiplayer; pay for the solo single player campaign. I do not see any other DLC temptations or microtransactions. Play MP for free--why not? I played the solo campaign only. Spawn camps happen automatically after you capture for your team. Then, the gathering location can easily be set on the class converter: Ranged, strong-Slow Melee, weaker-Fast Melee, Bombs, Healers. Units can be converted at any time by…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Your balls went into World War 3 modern warfare and you play as green sperm dudes who can turn into explosive sperm, shooting sperm, crab sperm, healing sperm and other stuff. Its a good game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Boid Golf is a puzzle game by @dan0mighte.bsky.social about directing flocks of boids into a goal. You might think it looks vaguely like fluid dynamics, but it actually has a very distinct feel and flow to it that's very fun to learn and play around with #GameDev #IndieGameDev #IndieGames #IndieDev
unlabelledView post →Boid Mediocre-time strategy Boid, a real-time strategy game, falls short of expectations with its lacklustre execution and uninspired gameplay. While it attempts to bring innovation to the genre, it ultimately fails to deliver a compelling and engaging experience. One of the major drawbacks of Boid is its underwhelming graphics. The visuals lack the polish and detail that players have come to expect from modern strategy games. The unit designs are generic, and the environments lack the depth…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun strategy game. Addition of Workshop just enriches the experience.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A friend and I teamed up for our first jam to make "Boid of Prey", an incremental/mostly idle game about upgrading a player bird contested by a flock of enemy boids. kolbias.itch.io/boid-of-prey
unlabelledView post →The campaign is a DLC...so your option with base game is to play with BOTS or try matchmaking and wait a thousand years because there is no one playing. I was litterally the only player on matchmaking queue. Dead game. That sucks because the gameplay is pretty cool.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I liked the concept and gameplay but the camera is so infuriating I can barely play it. The maps are tiny, why can't i zoom out and see the whole map? What is that weird scroll aim assist thing that sometimes completely steals you view? Just can't deal with it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A nice concept, but very sloppy execution. You control swarm type units and use them to assimilate and eliminate the enemy. You have places where base units are produced and these can be converted to other units for a rock paper scissors advantage. Main problem is controlling the units and their behavior. Controls are very clunky, movement and positioning isnt easy. The behavior of your units is also very inconsistent. When you position your units they may or may not decide to attack the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Boid is a Free to Play RTS game with simple gameplay. It worked on Win 10, looked ok, played ok, sounded ok. Only the Multiplayer modes and Solo matches with Bots are Free. There is a tutorial map you can play in the Solo with AI mode. You have to buy the single player DLC campaign as extra. Controls are your mouse only. The user interface could use more improvement. Has Map making mode. Has steam acheivements. Try it, if you like PVP with RTS games. For more info:…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the gameplay itself is amazing and i would actually really like this game, if it were not for the visual glitches. I'm not sure if they were put there on purpose, (the occasional screen glitch, like looking through a camera) it would be a cool visual experiance; however, the screen constantly freaks out and lags, whenever something is being attacked, and sometimes, the map wont load and I can only see the spawn points and other things you can capture. This is a ridiculous ammount of visual…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've only played a little bit and I already love it, it seems simple but can actually require a lot of strategy, I'm probably going to buy singleplayer just to support such a great small company. 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Rd 5: Beat Temur Cub with Ashling in three. Lost a close game one with a double Eartherbender Ascension turn that put him to 1 with double Boid in play, but got the Bore-ing combo in games 2 and 3. Had Bore and Harmonizer in hand, but missing land and drew lucky Fable. 😅 3-2

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →+beautiful +can be fun if there's people online -messy control/management -less than 5 peoples online, play w/ bots most of the time..
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Boid is a game based on destorying other cells/worms/whatever you call them, and taking over other spawn points Violence:If little tadpoles bumping into each other violence there really is none at all. Language: There only is language in the campaign ,but that's about it :) Gameplay: requires some strategy and thinking, other units have pros and cons and can destroy others more easily. Overall the game should really be for around 7 because it needs some thinking really quickly and in…

It’s a kill or be killed battle of rapid decisions to dominate the gene pool. Kepler 42-C. A faraway planet of little significance. At least, it was until a malfunctioning drone crashed into its ocean, forever altering the course of life and inciting a battle to claim the planet, one microorganism at a time. Claim vital positions to replicate and mutate into seven specialized units, such as the fast…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is quite good and I enjoy seeing all my units stream across the map. My minor complaint is that it's difficult to quickly tell the difference between the units. Watch my video for my full thoughts, thanks! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWTqmFy15t8

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very good game, you should all play boid. Great developers. Worth the $10 campaign, 71% off until March 16th.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →bruh worm kill other bruh worm. 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really chill, relaxed game. Would recommend for anyone who wants a game to kind of chill to. Listen to a podcast or music whilst playing. 10 out of 10, IGN, would play again.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Keyboard doesn't work. Single player is paid.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →GOD, why is this game so underrated????? I love it, just a shame there is so few people playing on PVP.... Devs, you should give more free single player content so you can hook more people
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ur game is fugged bro. It was so dead, me and my friend boosted each other to gold league by repeatedly winning and losing against each other. 10/10 we are aiming for Plat Div 1
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When I first bought this game it was a fun little game with nice attractive graphics. I just reinstalled the game to play again and I’m very surprised by what the developer has added; last time I played they had added multiplayer, this time there is a single player campaign. The game is very well made, very nice clean and attractive graphics with fun gameplay. The developer has exceeded my expectations! It is a casual strategy game, great for casual play when you don’t feel like investing a…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tags: Clicker - Swarmer Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Lackluster sprites and basic formula. Play Mushroom Wars instead. Simple hotspot-capture clicker game where you control autospawned stuff and send it in swarms. Possibility to morph from one type to another at special hotspots. The underwater feel of the combat part of the game does not mesh well with the cybernetics and sci fi tone of the menus and mission fluff material. I found it more compelling than…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good graphics, music is good. Somehow, Seb would have managed to be scared.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Another Eufloria concept. It was ok, not overly fun. I liked that units could be placed outside of nodes, unlike the games this concept was stripped from. Other than that, its not really anything new. The units form a R-P-S gameplay that I found boring, but others might consider strategy. After a few maps, I wasn't really interested in playing more.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cool Game) I like that there are various classes and it makes a lot to think not just push with quantity)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really enjoy this game, I like RTS games like C&C but this is one of the best free RTS games out there. But one thing though is that I want to record some videos of this game to upload on my youtube channel, but the game lags to much while recording, it runs fine when I am not recording, please fix that.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Retarded AI will get your nerves wrecked, much potential but poor execution
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome game....just wish it supported more than two players.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very poorly programmed. had serious video issues in what is basically a very simple game. There is a linux freeware game that is similar to this, i forget the name. It's free, so try it for yourself, but dont buy the DLC until the game is a lot mroe stable.
