Dyson

Dyson is a real-time strategy game about self-replicating mining machines in an asteroid belt. You must ensure your survival by colonising other asteroids in the belt and eradicating the other mining machine types that have the same goal.

The mining machines, or seedlings, can band together to create structures called Dyson Trees, which then manufacture more seedlings. They can also build defence trees to protect asteroids.

The game’s abstract, procedurally-generated visuals and ambient soundscapes lend it a relaxing atmosphere that belies its eventually frantic gameplay. As seedling numbers increase, gigantic armies of 400 or more seedlings can be fighting for control of important asteroids.
