The game asks players to form colonies and earn points by completing various tasks.
On the main page of the site were instructions to submit 36 images, as well as a strange series of letter combinations.
OurColony hit a larger gamer audience on 6 April after an article was published on GameSpot.
Initially OurColony's general forums were set up to allow any user to delete any post or thread, making it almost impossible for people to have steady and meaningful communications.
This led many players to create forums outside the official site where communication could continue without disruption.
