"When the universe is threaten by the corrupting void, The Ark shall rise once again to save the cosmos."


NEW MAJOR UPDATE 0.2.0 RELEASED (RETURN OF THE ARK)

Ark of The Kosmoz is an arcade top-down shooter that aims to combine auto-battler and RTS elements into an arcade-style wave format.

You will be able to recruit a wide variety of starship squadrons, each one having their own unique design and origin, custom passive, attack pattern, and special abilities! Build your very own fleet of unique squadrons by freely customizing unit composition into each different formation.


Become a tactician on the battlefield, shift between different formations in combat for greater advantage, and order your starships to perform special abilities at crucial moments!

DISCLAIMER

This game is still in a VERY early stage of development. I've made this prototype to participate in the game accelerator program within a deadline. So you might encounter various bugs and issues, alongside bad optimization, missing assets, or some very unbalanced system, design, and mechanic. Future updates will try to issue these problems as much as possible!

Also, this is the first serious game that I'd like to try to update and build upon, so I'd love to hear all your feedback!

Key Features:

  • Create a unique build of fun and dazzling fleet of starships. With more than 30+ unique squadrons of starships and 15+ artifacts, you will be able to assemble your very own different army each run.
  • Highly customizable team building. Freely adjust unit composition for each different formation, plan attack order and ability.
  • Adaptive gameplay. Build your fleet however you like, focus on your ace frigate, or squadrons of agile fighters, or assemble an army of death lasers!
  • Feel like tactician on the battlefield. Dynamically shift between 3 different formations, command your fleet to focus fire and chain abilities in sequence.

The new tutorial is very, very slow :(

Thank you for the feedback! I'm working on another big update and I'll be sure to address the indeed very slow tutorial!

Really like the game! Satisfying and different upgrades with smart quality of life features. Keep up the good work :)

Appreciate the feedback and thank for playing. QoL is something I'd like add more in the future. Glad you like the upgrades, that something I'll need to improve too!

its very good but it just stopped like i couldnt hit deploy on wave like 1 or 2 waves after the first boss

Thank for the info! There so many weird bugs around..
But hopefully they will be fix in the next big update, so stay tuned!

Very good game so far!

Glad to hear that! Thank you for playing!

won't start, says it's trying and failing to connect to play.google.com and www.youtube.com

Sorry that you have that problem. I know that it can take some time loading in browser but haven't seen that problem before. Alternatively, you can try the window version in the meantime if you're interested.

ผมติดอยู่ที่หน้า arsenal menu ออกไม่ได้ครับ แล้ว ui มันค่อนข้างรก ตอนที่อยู่ในฉากต่อสู้นะครับ

ลองเปลี่ยนความละเอียดของคุณ ซึ่งบางครั้งอาจทำให้ UI ยุ่งวุ่นวาย หากไม่ได้ผล ให้ลองไม่แสดงแบบเต็มหน้าจอ

Thank for playing! Sorry that there's a lot of bug with the UI right now. New hotfix should issue some of the bug regarding arsenal menu too. 

ขอบคุณที่ลองเล่นเกมครับ อัพเดทใหม่พยายามแก้ปัญหาใน Arsenal Menu ครับ หวังว่าจะแก้ปัญหาตรงนี้ได้นะครับ

Buggy is expected for a very new game that released like 3 hours ago. I think that as the itch.io community we will all wait patiently for next updates and we might even try to find ways around some of the bugs as one usually does. Take you time and make it good👍

I'm glad we have such good people like you in the community! Thank you for playing and patiently waiting for next update :)
