Reddit thread from about a month ago where creator introduced this: https://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/1wqdabw/i_made_t...
Cool visuals, but doesn't count as a game for me. Can you do anything that make sense, except selecting the upgrade?
Could be a nice little game, though. Strip the IP and let the AI implement a bit more for the user to do.
I've been seeing a lot of Pokemon games recently as well, are companies just not enforcing their copyright/trademarks anymore?
It's not a fun game, but it's cool anyway
This is the second (probably vibecoded?) game in the last few days that I've seen using blizzard ip (the other being d2survivors.lol)
Saw Starcraft, spent 30 minutes living the nostalgia playing this.
Fun game.
I have to pick a new upgrade every 3 seconds. I thought they did that to stave off boredom, but actually it increases decision fatigue. (I just wanna shoot!)
I did not touch the controls at all, and I still won with zero losses on the first level - that does not inspire confidence.
Great game. It took me way too long to figure out I could use keyboard to control the positioning instead of mouse.
That was pretty enjoyable. Definitely like the ads you see online but with IP people care about.
I was wondering why there was a dragon there, is it from Wrath of the Lich King?
Lots of fun! Wish StarCraft would come out every year
Ah, the music is so nostalgic. Really takes me back.
Big game hunters Terran vs 7PC zergs. Same feeling.
Cool game, but isn't this going to make blizzard bring out the big guns?
Perfect, who needed to be productive anyways
Fun, but... how is this not already taken down by copyright strikes? I mean straight rips of audio assets, music, 3d assets, graphics, even the damn name...
A mix of everything. Stolen from everywhere. We have AI, but people are still the bottleneck. They lack creativity and ideas :D. lol
This was really fun!
Holy moly, just hearing those sound effects gives me a giant wave of nostalgia.
Wake up, Hank. That game ain’t gonna play itself. Oh wait it does.
Really cool game. Spent about 30 minutes playing it. Very fun!
This is, respectfully, slop piggybacking on nostalgic associations with stolen assets.
nice game

Wow, thanks to whoever posted this! I made this game.
Like many, I was frustrated there's no new StarCraft coming till 2030, so I half-jokingly made the mini-game those mobile ads always promise and never deliver. Something you can play with one hand, that your friends who've never played StarCraft can just pick up.(Turns out you can squeeze a lot of extra gameplay/design on top of it.)
Also, if you're going to copy Blizzard you might as well copy the whole package right, so there's a CG trailer too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVDao71LC7A
Honestly didn't expect people to grind this. I designed the endgame to be layer 50 and thought ppl can get at most ~70 if they really try, and somehow there are people on the leaderboard past 100 (without cheating). That's StarCraft players for you.
