Peak Of Empires
How To Play
Mouse Or Arrow Keys | Move Pointer |
Left Mouse Button or X | Choose Units |
Right Mouse Button Or C | Send Units |
ESDF or move mouse to screen edges | Move Camera |
Click units or buildings to view their stats and actions. Keep an eye on your resources, which are wood, food, stone, gold and housing. Make sure to build enough houses and send your workers to work! Once you've given them a task they will try to keep doing it until there is nothing in their vicinity left to interact with.
Whenever the game spots a "lazy" worker it will offer you to select that worker with a button next to your minimap.
Although the game does support controllers it is best played with the mouse.
How to beat
Make sure to get rid of all the enemies units on the map. Once you've done that you've beaten that scenario and can advance to the next one.
More about the game
This is a small bite-sized Age Of Empires demake with 5 scenarios to beat.
The idea came from this post on the PICO-8 forum, and I'm happy that oNek agreed to collaborate on this game.

This is so cool! Could you provide a .p8.png or .p8 file so I can save it to my machine?
