Gegenschein

Gegenschein is a patch of faint light exactly opposite to the Sun in the night sky. 

This game is based off of the 2005 game called Mech Battalion developed by Glu Mobile, a game I remember fondly from my childhood and wanted to re-create as I've since never come across a game as well done as it in that genre. 

The game works in three phases; two planning phases for moving and attacking, then an execution phase in which those planned actions will be executed. 

Controls:

"M" confirms the movement choice. 

"A" confirms the attack choice.

1, 2, and 3 can be used in the movement or attack phase to choose a weapon.

"esc" in the armoury will bring you back to the main menu. 

This game began development on the 14th of February (CET) and was entered into the following Game Jams:

• Practice Circle Jam Laboratory #3 (Optional theme: Text)
• Untitled Game Jam #43 (Theme: Space)
• Indiepocalypse Issue #15 (Paying Anthology) (Theme: none)
