In short, you're a tiny little space captain guiding a swarm of tiny little carrot dudes with various strengths, and organizing/dividing them up to do tasks like carry resources to your ship, break obstacles, and fight off enemies.

You're all tiny little so things like bottle caps become "mysterious reflector dish" and shit like that, fallen branches need to be shoved over to create a bridge, birds are horrifying behemoths that will eat your carrot dudes by the dozen.
