If You Build It: Space Nomads

Space Nomads is a fine name for a game. I'm not sure it's a fine name for this game, however, which is about building bases in a procedurally-generated desert. If you're building a game called Space Nomads, it should probably have lonesome, wandering spaceships in the void, perhaps pursued by malignant robots or something. Anyway, Space Nomads itself looks hugely promising, as it's a co-op sort-of tower defence with hefty and diverse building options. There's a longer game to it, however, which involves surviving until you can "ultimately search for a way to escape the planet".
