WAYPOINT COLONIES // Dig down. Staff up. Hold the line.

22 rooms. 11 minigames. 4 viral modes. 25 crew types. One living bunker cross-section you excavate, build, staff, and defend while storms roll in and traders knock at the airlock.

Every staffed floor pays resources AND trade goods. Push crew topside. Stack BRONZE-to-PERFECT minigame payouts. Sell your Hold stock. This jam prototype graduates into WAYPOINT, my flagship title, as a permanent playable feature. Not a demo. A colony you keep.
