A long time ago, I played this real-time strategy game on PC. It was on a CD ROM, so it must had been when that was hot. 640x480 I think. It took place on an alien world. Completely alien, kinda like VANGER where they try to make the setting totally unlike anything earthlike. It had a bit of an new age feel, I think. The units were jellyfish or something like that. The levels where seen directly from the side, like in a platformer, and it went through different seasons which affected gameplay. The fights where pretty lowsy, with the sprites just exchanging blows.

Rings any bells?

Leviathan: the Tone Rebellion maybe?

Haven't played it, but it looks the part.
Exactly! Thanks I have been wondering about the title like forever! How did you figure that out??

It has a +126 wishlist:

One the few games that actually deserves the moniker 'unique'. A game that is actually alien, rather than humanoid. Also a great example of how mechanics, art and sound can be used to enhance each other, rather than functioning in a vacuum (soundtrack by Nenad Vugrinec, who also composed the Ascendancy soundtrack).
Exceptional game that does not get anywhere close to the amount of attention that it deserves. Needs to be on GOG. Also, if it ever gets on GOG, please add the manuals that came with the box-sets. They contain most of the actual story of the game, so you need them to see the bigger picture.

+ For those trying to get it to work on modern systems, try using the older patches if the newest one causes the game to glitch. That's what fixed it for me. Also, installing the game with Windows XP Compatibility on can also make a difference.
The game is the opening entry in a thread titled "What are the strangest games of all time?"

KasperHviid: How did you figure that out??
Your description made me kind of curious, so I googled around a bit. Stumbled upon a forum thread about obscure strategy games where someone mentioned it.

Seems like the company behind it might have shut down recently.
