My server can't handle all the traffic, guess it's an opportunity to show that the game doesn't need a central authority to keep working.

I created another relayer and ssh node on 85.214.130.204, you can either ssh to this machine `ssh 85.214.130.204 -p 3788` (but the relaying won't work as it tries to connect to the old server), or start your local client with the flag `rebels -i 85.214.130.204` to specify the alternative relayer node ip address.

In case the trailer link doesn't work, here's another: https://rebels.frittura.org/demo_v1.0.18.mp4

Looks very original although I’m a bit daunted by getting to grips with it. Plan to give it a go later. Feedback: The mashup of themes make it difficult to assess what the gameplay is like, even with the video. For example when are you taking action versus navigating away from screens

Planet animations remind me of Captain Blood. Congratulations. The terminal, from constraint comes creativity.

Those planet/satellite animations are absolutely gorgeous!

I have a friend who played FTL and I kept thinking that was just a fancy terminal game.

Interesting idea to have a completely p2p game! What cross-user interaction do you have in your game?

This is really cool. Like a mix between TradeWars 2002 and sportsball management.

Well played sir.

One question out of curiosity: Which library did u use for the graphics?

Just curious, how are the results of the match decided? How much player agency is there?

Is your game made with godot? It looks like you used this pixel planet generator asset from itch

Looks like the video in the readme doesn't work in all browsers (in my case, firefox).

I tried it! Really cool concept and great pixel art!

This is very cool. Thank you for sharing your creativity with this game and its source! I love that it is accessed via ssh and is multiplayer.

A screenshot or animated gif in the README might be helpful. Like others I can’t see the movie. Check out charm’s vhs tool to make these.

Reminder that ssh'ing to some random server is not without some privacy concern.

As an Italian, some of the player names are hilarious.

The game seems really cool and honestly really impressive, but it's hard to understand what you're supposed to do at any moment.

You have a typo here https://github.com/ricott1/rebels-in-the-sky/blob/17f3e2a21e...

Also, the Italian-food sounding names are hilarious, well played :)
