About Oib.io
Oib.io is a proper micro-management strategy game wearing io clothing. You spawn units, box-select them, and send them out to attack, defend or feed. Your queen is the thing that must not fall, and every decision is a trade between pushing units forward and keeping enough of them home.
What makes it unusual for this category is the alliance layer: you can feed your allies units as well as your own, or refuse and try to hold the whole map alone. It rewards patience in a genre that normally rewards reflexes, which makes it a good change of pace next to the arena games here.
How to play
Left click to select a unit, or click and drag a box to select several. Hold Ctrl and click to add or remove units from the selection, and press Space to select everything you own. Right click to send the selection somewhere. Press 1 to spawn oibs and 2 to combine the selected ones. Move the camera with WASD or the arrow keys.

Tips to win
- Keep a standing garrison near the queen — losing her ends the run regardless of your map share.
- Combining units is how you break a defensive line; a swarm of small ones bounces off it.
- Feeding an ally early usually buys you a quiet flank, which is worth more than the units cost.
