Tiny Armada

Tiny Armada is a simple strategy-esque game where the objective is to defend your home planet and destroy the enemies jump gate by building infrastructure on your planet and purchasing ships with the things you generate on your home planet.

The enemy jump gate is located straight up from the Star.

How to play

Start playing by spending some of your credits on banks to start generating credits.After gaining some income you should start making factories to generate parts. You will need these (along with credits) to build ships.

You can use hangars to increase your unit cap allowing you to have more units out at a time. 

Each tier of ship increases fire rate, health, and the unit cap they take up (1>2>3).

Protect your planet from the enemy (the health at the bottom represents your home planet's health)

Your ships will automatically look for enemy ships on the way to the enemy jump gate, which they need to destroy for you to win the game.

Make sure you are prepared for the enemies attacks! The enemy starts attacking either after you gained a certain amount of resources or when you start spawning ships! The enemy will not stop spawning until the game ends!

Balancing

I have done some work to try and balance the game, but it's definitely not perfect. Please leave suggestions in the comments as to what is too weak or too powerful, etc.
