Oil Rush

Oil rush is a fast-paced RTS set in a flooded world where oil is the only resource and micro-management is kept to a minimum. Units are produced automatically up to their population limit and the player commands them as groups, sending swarms from platform to platform rather than to attack other units directly. Defenses can also be built in the form of towers on slots around certain platforms, but the priceless oil rigs must be defended by units only. Experience points can be spent as tech upgrades ranging from faster construction to nuclear warhead launches.
