March of the Awfulites

A small and unserious RTS made in Picotron. Just a demo level for now. Inspiration dates back to my buddy Kevin's Awful Little Guys https://2clawzz.itch.io/awful-little-guys. Feedback is more than welcome.

Defeat Reagan's invading hellspawn and reclaim your neighborhood!

As the Community Caster and head of the Neighborhood Watchtower, build an army of your latest creations, the Awfulites and beat back the invading Tricklets.

Construct Awfulite spawners with gold, and Awfulites will apparate periodically when their mana cost is met.

Use the drag-select tool to round up an awful squadron, and send them on their merry way with a rally point. When near a target of interest, Awfulites throw hesitation to the wind and get straight to work.

Blue Awfulites harvest resources -- truly the busiest bees of an awful hive! These resources include the many colors of tasty mana, and gold!

Green Awfulites exclusively target enemy structures, making short work of even the sturdiest Reagan Gates.

Red Awfulites are battle-hardened BEASTS. Nay, MONSTERS. MONSTERS that will make short work and mince-meat of any Tricklets dumb enough to approach.

Tricklets appear from Reagan Gates at regular intervals as well. These stupid fucks will chase down any Awfulite they see.

Use numrow 1-6 to select tools, and WASD to move. You yourself can slowly mine resources to get started, but can't attack or be attacked. Defeat all enemies and destroy all Reagan Gates to win the demo level.
