Dyson Game

This beautiful, simple game certainly deserves its place as a 2009 Independent Games Festival finalist. Dyson's premise is simple, but hard to convey in screenshots. You start on a spherical planet, spending your Dyson seedlings to plant new trees (either for defense, or to produce more seedlings). Click-and-drag to send seedlings to nearby planets to attack their seedlings and take it over. You win when you have conquered all the planets in the area. With smooth mouse zooming, minimalist art and sound, and simple but addictive gameplay, you'll easily waste away an afternoon on this one.

DOWNLOAD DYSON v1.10

We released version 1.10 of Dyson! It is the public demo that will also be made available at the IGF site for the Audience Award.

This version contains new music from Brian, which is really superb. We love it. We think the new version is worth the download purely for the music.

We also reworked the font code so now the game has really smooth fonts instead of the old pixel font, which was hard to read and didn’t really fit with the theme.

This also meant we had to redo the tutorial, which is now a bit nicer again.

There is a new level (level 2), which is designed to help people understand more how the attributes work. We also changed some of the balancing in the levels.

There are a few other tweaks that you may discover if you’re a seasoned Dyson colonist see if you can spot the changes! Don’t be looking in the build log! I know your tricks!

Have fun!
