ABOUT THE GAME
Not just one planet,
Cultivate relationships between planets.
``Slipways Classic'' is a space strategy game by Jakub Wasilewski, and is a Classic version that has been released independently as the prototype for the later expanded PC product version. Find planets from a wide star map, colonize them, and draw slipways so that the resources created by industry match the demands of another planet.
PAN THE STAR MAP
Move the visible range,
Find the next possibility.
You can move the star map by right-dragging or using the SDFE key. Look over the positions of the scattered candidate celestial bodies and decide in which direction you want to expand your empire from the first wormhole.

Explore and find planets
After placing your first wormhole, click and drag the star map to find nearby planets. You can move the star map itself by right-dragging or using the SDFE keys.
Choose an industry and colonize it
Select the industrial type and colonize the planet you find. The next trading partner you will need will change depending on which resource you choose to create on the planet.
Connecting supply and demand with routes
Drag from planet to planet to pull the slipway and deliver the resources you produce to the planet that needs them. Aim for a prosperous empire while adding facilities and technology.

Play notes
- Required time
- The official work introduction states that it is a composition that builds an empire in 30 minutes, and the average session on itch.io is also about 30 minutes.
- Language
- The supported language is English. We have determined that English is required because reading the English UI is required to judge industries, resource demand, technology, scores, etc.
- How to proceed in the beginning
- Place a wormhole on the star map and drag around it to find the planet. Compare planets' production and demand, and start colonizing and connecting routes based on mutually complementary combinations.
