This is the best puzzle game in my mind what I have ever played my my life. The little green and red things reminds me of DNA what it would look like inside my or your body. It is very challenging when you try the DLC single player campaign. I am saving my money for another Steam card and I will spend it on the DLC of Boid because that is how much I love the game. If it is O.K. try on the next update to the game Boid if you can try and change the color of your team. Please try and put that on the next update. This is the best puzzle game I can ever play in my life.

BOID is a great game with nice looking graphics, it is highly tactical and competitive, but easy for anyone to get into. Positives: Simple but fun Great looking Good to play with friends Negatives: Networking is a little glitchy at times If you don't have friends it will be hard to find a game since there aren't many people online most of the time.

I have just spent several hours with Boid, a simplistic 2D RTS that has you take control of several amoeba like organisms in underwater cavernous environments and pits you against an equal foe located on the other side of the map. Brought to us by indie developer tinyBuild Games, also known for the satrical "No Time To Explain". The idea is simple, take over all control points on the map before your opponent can. Control points are broken into two basic categories, spawn points that slowly spawn new troops up to a maximum of five at a time, and evolution points which allow you to morph your creatures into various upgraded forms, like a strong crab like creature, a long range laser canon, and speedy scouts among other variations. You are tasked with controlling your flow of new units while strategically choosing which path to take and which upgrades to use and balance everything accordingly. All actions are controlled by a simple click of the mouse, and a side panel gives you a brief summary of units available, and selected, and you can use waypoints to help automate some of your troops to specific defense points or upgrades to capture. Both offline and online modes are already included in the most recent build. The offline version features a fairly good A.I. which can challenge new comers to the game and is a good way of getting acquainted with most of the unit types, and general gameplay. Multiplayer of course is where a game like this shines, as adapting to a human player's differing strategies and changes of pace are where the real challenge and fun is. With the recent addition of leagues, and ranked play, you can easily lose hours to Boid. Graphically Boid's 2D graphics are simple, yet colourful and make it easy to identify unit types by their shape, as well as identify enemies. Winning and losing spawn points is shown graphically by quick flashes of light on the screen to give you a quick clue that you may need to investigate elsewhere. The submerged aquatic setting is full of life, and the lighting effects give great depth on what is otherwise a flat world. Available now on the Steam Early Access program at a measly $3.29 CAD, Boid is a steal for anyone looking for an easy to pick up, but competitive RTS. One that is being well supported by the developer with regular updates and improvements. www.micbemac.com

The gameplay is very unique. There is almost no player base at the moment, but that is to be expected with a smaller company and the game being in early access. Seems like a great game assuming the devs keep working on the game. Definitely would recommend. Very fun game with a tough learning curve.
