The other strategy game I'm playing lately is Galcon - a real-time strategy game stripped down to the absolute essence. Games take anywhere from thirty seconds to a few minutes. It's like RTS popcorn.

Here's a guy playing two (large!) games in eight minutes, just to give you an idea of what the game is like: https://youtu.be/pagIzpepJAs?t=48 …

In my experience, Galcon matches are knife fights: fast, intense, and brutal. You struggle right from the start to grab an advantage and find a weakness, and the first one to make a mistake suddenly loses very badly.

Happily, unlike knife fights, win or lose you can do it again right away. Great fun. And it's free! Get it on Steam for Windows/Linux/Mac, or the app stores on iOS/Android. Or download at https://www.galcon.com/g2/download.php

OMG. I’ve been looking for this without knowing it for a decade! I became obsessed w a flash game called Phage Wars in college that is actually an identical engine with a microbe theme. Gotta go try this out.

Yeah, Phage Wars and Galcon are basically the same game. And there’s a bunch of other similar games on the app stores as well, but Galcon is the one to get for sure just for how well the developer still supports it. If you liked Phage Wars I think you’ll like this one too.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

Narrator: He did indeed like it. And stayed up way too late proving it.
