It’s out! Download We Love Mind Control Rocket (2.8Mb, Windows) here!
I found an artist eventually – the very talented Derek Yu volunteered to create all of the art for the game, making it look better than it has any right to.
I’m sorry that I didn’t have time to make a tutorial – I’m going to work on a text one to post later on. I’m a little drained after working some crazy hours to get this finished for the deadline, but when I’ve recovered, expect a long post-mortem on the project 🙂 I’m also hoping to release a final version in a few weeks which fixes some of the balance problems in the game and adds some of the features that I didn’t have time for, so I’d really appreciate any constructive feedback that you can offer!
Here’s a link to the game’s thread on TIGSource, which will probably get updated more often than this post. 🙂
its the best game. but not as good as the dont look back. but great!!!!!!!!!!!!
Heh – surprised to see anybody bothering with this 😛
I’d really love to revisit this concept at some point…
I’m really liking this, what is the music that is used?
Id love it if you came back to this one if you had time. With a little more polish, this one would be incredible. Thats not to say it doesnt rock already though. Keep up the good work, man!
Wow, you call this a minor game?! You’ve taken a concept that is used so often yet always bores the crap out of me… and made it into something beautiful!
MINOR game? with multiplayer and a little balancing here, a little addition there, this game could be SOLID! i love the theme, artwork.
since you are looking for suggestions, i would say in combat first attack is too influential to the overall outcome. might could be balanced by reducing units attack power?
thanks for such a gem!
Very nice. Still haven’t beaten it, but toying around with it. Will the full version have cheats so I can play around with having a mighty army or a huge income?
If there’s ever a full version at this point, it’ll be barely recognisable 😛
Mmm, well then, any way to tweak around the existing build? I’d love to beat the game and see all the dialog options.
Ah, not really – the dialogue options are pretty basic anyway 🙂
I do hope that the new version of All Hail Mind Control Rocket would one day be released. This game has the potential of being great!
Definitely don’t forget that one ! I love Mind Control Rocket ! =D
(And it reminds me of Defcon, check introversion games)
I really love these kinds of turn based strategy games that aren’t warfare centric. This and Zafehouse, Nethack, and Dwarf Fortress are some of my favorite games.
PLEASE MAKE A FULL VERSION!!!
You make the best online games, I can always count on you to hit a homerun.

every 1 but me is a gay homo
I sat down and beat it. It was quite fun, even though totally unfinished. Doesn’t look like we’ll see a finished version, but if it does come about, it’d be pretty epic.
I had fun with the game, till I was annihilated because I couldn’t build any units. It never allowed me to make plastic, parts, or chemicals. The game is beyond broken as it is, but it is a fun concept.
This game, though unfinished, is great! Terry, you may be reluctant to revisit this game after so long, but I think it could be fantastic if you were to update it to fit your original vision.
the first battle was difficult, but after that it was just a joke. the enemies need to increase in difficulty; by the end, i had 12k mechs and 4 of everything else, and the enemy army was still at 2k total.
…of course it doesn’t really matter, as this game isn’t supposed to be polished 😛
