Tiny Troops

On planet Agaris IV, two races fight for power on an endless war. When the
Klutes and the Furfurians’ dispute made their planet inhospitable, they needed
a new battleground. Their troops where teleported to planet Earth, where
everything, they discover, is 100 times bigger. Their battles are thus a small
event there, taking place out of the attention of the humans.

Tiny Troops is a real-time strategy game, with gameplay similar to Cannon
Fodder. It supports up to 2 players in split-screen mode, and mouse or
joystick control. Before starting a level, a screen is shown where the player
must select which units are going to be on his troop. There’s several types of
units (foot soldiers, grenadiers, etc). Clicking the general gives a hint and
the main objective of the level (that usually is about killing the enemy and
destroying their base). Most of the main game screen is occupied by a
scrolling map of the level, with the bottom portion reserved for the control
windows (one for the mini-map, other for game options like saving and
restarting, a third for unit commands and a final one with unit information or
a list of group formations). The player controls the soldiers by clicking on
them and selecting orders icons from the command window:

– a fist icon is to attack;

– an upward arrow to select the route;

– a wrench to repair things;

– a shield to stand guard;

– a target to surround the unit.

The game has 65 levels spread on a variety of different terrains (garden,
kitchen, etc).
