netsplit

Netsplit is a turn-based tactics game. Two teams take turns moving units on a grid, attacking enemies, and trying to eliminate the opposing squad. The game can either be played solo against a computer player, or 1v1. This game was made for the PIGSquad Build Your Own Game Jam 2026. It is currently more a game of systems and mechanics than a fully fledged game. My goal for this jam was to build up a bunch of systems and mechanics that I could use as a jumping off point to make my own spin on a tactics game. All of the assets are either free assets from Sketchfab or simple polygon shapes I generated with Bevy. I've always loved trying to build and replicate games that I am huge fans of. I built my own mini Zelda adventure, and a few Pokemon inspired games (One, Two). This ones inspiration comes from my love of tactics games, especially Fire Emblem.
