Hi all. I'm the developer of Auralux, a relaxing, minimalistic RTS game. I'm happy to report that the game has just been released for iOS. I originally made the game for PC, and it was later ported to Android, where it did pretty well. Still, everyone I tell about it just replies "tell me when I can play it on my iPad", so I'm thrilled that it's finally out. The gameplay is sorta similar to Eufloria or Galcon, and the presentation has been compared to Osmos, but I see key differences between them all. All the levels in Auralux are symmetrical, so it almost turns into a puzzle (i.e. how do you break the stalemate). It's meant to be slow and relaxing, but still a serious strategy game. Anyway, let me know what you think! Auralux War Drum Studios LLC The sequel, Auralux: Constellations, is available now! Click on War Drum Studios above to download.

New features include leaderboards, achievements, and cloud saves! Auralux is an abstract, essentialized, and simplified real-time strategy game. You command only one type of unit and have only one type of order to give those units. You and your opponents start the game with precisely equal resources. Quick reflexes will get you nowhere. The only path to victory is through clever strategy. Auralux features a slow, floating feel and vibrant minimalistic graphics. The entire game pulses to the rhythm of ambient music, and the player's actions evoke sounds that smoothly coalesce into melody. This game is designed to provide a relaxing, cerebral experience. Every choice matters, and only the best strategies will succeed. Features: -Includes every feature and more from the renowned PC game. -Free to try for as long as you like! Simply purchase additional levels for a very low price if you enjoy the game and want more challenges. -Gameplay optimized for touch screen devices. -Countless hours of gameplay -Two available game modes : Normal and Speed Mode, with a secret mode for expert players to unlock! -Relaxing, ambient soundtrack brings you into a rhythm and meditative state.

I'm not usually a fan of these sorts of tactical resource rts games, but somehow you created a winning combination of aesthetic, sound, and difficulty which sucked me in. I played through the free pack in a matter of minutes and I'm right on the point of purchasing the combo pack. In any case, bravo!

Thanks for the video, Sanuku. Nathan-Drake Member Mar 22, 2013 22 0 0 Spain #6 Nathan-Drake, Mar 25, 2013 Fantastic Job! The Game has a smart interface and simply graphics, but it's an addictive gameplay proposal withe colorful design. knowledge3754 Member Nov 28, 2012 16 0 0 #7 knowledge3754, Mar 25, 2013 looks cool as hell but what's the monetization scheme? Psiufoxx Well-Known Member May 25, 2011 421 0 16 sustainability consulting paris (yeah, the one in france) #8 Psiufoxx, Mar 25, 2013 First few levels free, then .99 for each level pack. Totally worth it! knowledge3754 Member Nov 28, 2012 16 0 0 #9 knowledge3754, Mar 25, 2013 So far I agree. I've played the tutorial and the first real level and it's a lot of fun. I appreciate that there's a hint system since these types of games can end up having one working strategy for some levels The_Blue_Sticker Member Nov 21, 2012 11 0 0 #10 The_Blue_Sticker, Mar 26, 2013 I there any word on word on multiplayer support? I would sit on it all day. Also maybe this is just me, but I though that maybe power ups like speed or an instant sun upgrade thrown in the middle of the map as a sun would be cool, as in you would have to capture it as if it were a sun. Anyway definitely buyin the combo pack ASAP. amdreh Well-Known Member Mar 26, 2013 227 0 0 Brazil #11 amdreh, Mar 27, 2013 Looks like Osmos, sounds like Bad Hotel and plays like the old board game War. I liked it! But I wish there was a way to make time runs faster or slower like Osmos. Things get slow sometimes. knowledge3754 Member Nov 28, 2012 16 0 0 #12 knowledge3754, Mar 27, 2013 I think I saw a fast mode somewhere. B3NDoX Well-Known Member Mar 22, 2013 221 0 0 #13 B3NDoX, Mar 30, 2013 Great game and the IAP makes sense Not like 100 coins for 3$ Joe Kule Member Aug 18, 2014 20 0 0 #14 Joe Kule, Nov 28, 2016 I can't find the option to purchase all the cancellations for $9.99.
