Ardalt is a game about rebuilding a planet's atmosphere and exploiting its resources.

Build factories to produce materials in order to be able to build a rocket! Be a very successful trader that everyone likes and have a "Nice" planet, or be a villain trader and not trade and have a polluted planet. The choice is in your hands, but whatever you do, you must acquire the ore or else you will be executed by the Federation!

To lose, you either have too much pollution, or are too much in debt. To win, you must obtain enough ore to build a rocket, in order to escape. You could either do this by trading steel or water for ore, or just mining for it.

I will try my best to update this game at least once a week, but most of the time I will post updates a few times a week. Follow me on twitter @TorusTri to contact me and give feedback directly, or comment here in Ardalt's comment section. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated and probably implemented if I can figure out how to do it. :)
