Rymdkapsel is a 2013
minimalist real-time strategy video game by
indie developer Grapefrukt, the studio of Martin Jonasson. Players build a
space station using
tetromino pieces while managing resources and minions, defending against attacks, and extending the base towards four monoliths at the edges of the
level. The game was built over a year and a half and was inspired by the base-building aspects of the
Command & Conquer series. It was Jonasson's first full game as an indie developer.
Rymdkapsel was released on May 7, 2013 for
PlayStation Mobile, and was later ported to
iOS,
Android,
Microsoft Windows,
OS X, and
Linux. Reviewers gave the game generally favorable reviews, where they appreciated its simplicity and challenge, but not its brevity and slow start.
