Hello everyone,

Before saying anything, thank you for reading this thread.

I have been searching this game that I really enjoyed during my childhood but could not figure it out.

I will be really thankful if you can help me find the name or tell me any other website I can ask for help.

I played this game around 2003-2005. I believe my computer's OS was either XP or 98. The game came in form of a regular game CD that you put it inside the desktop and install it.

The genre of the game was strategic, real time simulation.

The format of the game was side view, third-person perspective and I can move the view only through side-scrolling (no top or bottom but only left and right way), and

its background was very gloomy (dark, slow-psychic intro music, seems like taking place in the space, underground, or deep under the sea).

The whole point of the game, (not sure because I never beat or finish the game), was to take explore hidden territories, occupy monuments, and ultimately beat the opponent.

I am not sure if there is multiple tribes for the game. But when I played it, the enemy and I always controlled the same tribe.

When I started the game, I started all the way on the left side, have 3 alien units that looked like an eyeball with tentacles attached at one side (like jellyfish?). I could not build any building but those units can explore (to the right side of the map) and take control of neutral buildings seen in the map.

One building I took over allowed the unit to be upgraded by having the unit enter the building and got out. (the unit looked little different that it got horns or a spiky crown on its eyeball-shaped body)

There were also neutral structures that looked like flowers or plants and attacked my units when they came nearby the building. To explore beyond these structures, I can destroy them by attacking with my units.

There was also a structure that allowed my unit to teleport or go to a whole different location.
All the structures I described above were already built and seemed neutral buildings.

I do not remember how the resources worked but I was able to get these aliens from the base ( if existing ones die) and seemed like there were no other units.

My tribe and the enemy's were exactly identical except the fact that mine was pink color and the enemy's was blue color.

I am sincerely sorry for being unclear and wordy. It has been really long since I played the game.
Once again, please I beg for help to find the game. And if there is any question or concern, I will do my best to answer them from my memory.

Thank you.

What the game graphics looked like? It was 2d or 3d? Can you guess how old is the game according to it's looks, early 90's or 2000's. Do you remember the company or one of the game staff names? Or one of the characters names in the game? Was it famous or slightly famous. Was it abandonware? Where did you get the game from? Was it an indie game? Did the game run in dos or windows or other op systems, or consoles?

If you can answer these questions i will have a better idea where to try to search it for you.
