How to play?

[Pong [Linux]]

I went through the tutorial and know that I can click on my planet and click on enemy plant to send ships. DOuble click select x percentage depending on the slider. So far so good. But when I play online, all other players send swarms of ships so rapidly, I can't click so fast! Are there any shortcuts?

You could try co-op - but be sure you're playing versus a lower tier (something less than level 10) to begin with. At level 11, the bots seem to ramp upward in skill.

Also, this gives you some idea how to start playing - well, ok, it gives ME an idea. I'm still very bad (:

Oh, and I move the slider with the mousewheel. May not be a great idea for precision, but we'll see how it works out in the long run.

Oh, and there's also dragging around multiple planets. (and clicking on your ships while in flight and redirecting them.)

But yeah, practice with co-op and maybe practice versus versus the computer a bit more, leveling toward the really tough bots.

I somehow find a not so bad strategy: set slider to 15% and attack neighbor bot planets one by one and defend your planets be recaptchuring lost planets fast. Bigger planets count faster, so it's better to catch big planets. And it's better to catch bot planets instead of empty planets.
