Short description

Spore Wars is a real-time strategy game of mushrooms. You do not steer single soldiers: you drag troops from one building to another to take the map. It takes a minute to learn, a match lasts 3–8 minutes, and it has three kinds of building, four mushroom heroes with skills of their own, a 60-level campaign and a map editor.

Images

The pictures come from the game itself. The two main-menu pictures are screenshots from Apple's iOS Simulator (an iPhone); the match, map-choice and buildings pictures were rendered by the game running on a computer; the campaign map is a screenshot from a computer. In the match picture a script plays the human's side and the first 28 seconds or so are fast-forwarded. The buildings picture is the game's own building pictures laid out in rows for this page, with a test number (25) on each. The player-profile figures in the menu and campaign pictures (matches, wins, stars, unlocked heroes, the build number on the version line) are test data from a Simulator or a test profile, not a real player's or a store build's.
