Armada is dodge-em up/shooter where you start with nothing but a single mothership planning to invade planets, and you have to grow your armada on the way by taking more ships in.
Controls and How To Play
Arrow keys to move.
X/Space to shoot (if there is a fireship attached).
To connect to another ship, be in their visible radius for specified amount of time (explained better in-game). While connecting - if you collide with the ship, or move too far away from the specified radius, the connection will break and the connecting ship will be destroyed.
Avoid asteroids (or shoot them down). Note that if your mothership dies, the whole armada falls apart.
Every planet serves as a checkpoint. You need an armada with at least X amount of ships to invade a planet when you reach that checkpoint (X is shown in HUD).
You gain score for distance travelled + having more ships in your fleet than X.
