Meet JBU
A hex-grid strategy game for your phone that plays in about two minutes, with a soundtrack by Travesty.
PLAY FREEPublic alpha. Best sideways and fullscreen.The idea
You deploy units instantly, mine shards, and fight over seven pads around a tower. The tower charges a Rift Lance that hits whichever side holds fewer pads. In the last ten seconds before it locks on, the pads can still change the target, and an arrow swaps live.
What makes it different
- Kind by design: no free chat in matches, just presets like WELL PLAYED, and everyone goes by one alias. A family-friendly game for all ages.
- Real music: tracks by Travesty and their early aliases El Topo and Precursor. Shouts and Credits say more.
- An hour of live synth music hidden in an Easter egg, in homage to the way Orbital play live, with a visualizer that moves with the sound.
- A red megaphone in the corner: tell us what you think any time. It makes a foghorn.
Next door
The same creator is building DarkDeck (darkdeck.net), a home for music and video with visualizers built in from the first day.
It is a rough, honest alpha. Please tell us what breaks: feedback.
