    Fun 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…

    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…

    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.

    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

    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…

    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.

    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.

    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…

    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:…

    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…

    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

    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

    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…

    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…

    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.
