10 Minute Space Strategy is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: A space strategy game in which a normal paced game doesn't last much more than 10 minutes.

The game is turn based. Players can configure their profile from a set of options describing their race, their credo and their homeworld, which affects their abilities and how the game starts. They can be pitted against a number of opponents, ranging from one to seven and controlled by the computer or other human players. The ultimate goal is to [[KillEmAll eliminate all opponents]] and become the only living race in the galaxy. In order to do this, you have to research technologies, colonize planets with colony ships and form fleets of fighters and bombers to defend yourself and attack your enemies. From time to time, anomalies can show up on the map for a limited time, and if you place a certain amount of fighters over you get nifty advantages.

The game is [[FreewareGames freeware]], and can be downloaded in [[http://goblinlunatics.blogspot.com/ this page]].

* HomeFieldAdvantage: Any planet with the "ancient defences" trait gives in-battle effectivity bonus to any of your fleets on said planet.

* TechTree: A very simplistic one to match the fast pace of the game. You can research five fields: Enviroment (Better life conditions on worlds that are different than your homeworld), Industry (Faster construction of facilities and ships), Propulsion (Allows ships to move farther from your planets without decaying from lack of supply), Warfare (Makes your ships better at combat) and Empire (Increases the number of planets you can control and fighters you can field). Each of these fields has a cap of level 10, and as you unlock higher levels of one or two techs at the same time, you unlock special, racial-dependant techs that give you a unique advantage.

* EldritchAbomination: The tentacle race is said to be ancient and originated in an alternate dimension. Their doctrine is based on 'friendship', [[BlueAndOrangeMorality which for them is turning other races into their slaves]]. Their default credo also allows them to turn space monsters into fighters with no need to fight.

* JackOfAllStats: The humans, as is the norm in this kind of games. Their default credo gives them no special building to make in their planets, but it gives them the most points to spend on racial traits.

* OrbitalBombardment: Bombers are built more slowly than normal and require a separate factory designed to make them before you can produce them, but they are the most effective way to decimate the population of enemy planets. Make sure you protect them with fighters, though, because they can't defend themselves from attackers.
