Loved this! Building up a large army and pushing forward seems to be the best strategy

Good idea for board game.
But for a videogame it is not the best mechanic.

I love to see strategy games in the competition. I'd love to see this developed post compo with an AI opponent. Great work!

This was pretty fun once I got the hang of it. Even playing against myself was interesting when using different strategies.

played against myself, lacking an opponent, but quite enjoyed it. though it seems like picking an optimal strategy is relatively straightforward one you are acquainted with the rules.

Next steps are asynchronous multiplayer and a release on Google Play. Glad you all seem to like it, even when playing by yourselves :)

Love the music, great innovation!

Cool idea! This is like naughts and crosses but video game style. I like it. Great job!

This is really neat. I need to find someone to play with to expand my grasp of the strategy.

Nice to see a strategy game here! Reminded me of some game I tried on iPhone few years back. Multiplayer over web would do wonders for this

Nice music, though little harsh on ears

Nice strategy game, well done.

Hey man thanks for your comment. Yeah it's nice to see other people developing with GM :) I like strategic puzzle games... Played it vs me... Nice concept. Like it!

Lovely slick presentation and a nicely balanced play mechanic. I'd love to see a version with an AI opponent and a few animations. Great work!

Reminds me a bit of Risk. Rules are a little complicated to learn but it seems neat overall :)

igoramendola 2014-08-25 16:40

Nice! It's been a while since I played a game of Risk-style. I have read the rules and yours is well done. I have to find someone to play with ^^

Nice game. I liked the simplicity of the system, and it worked pretty smoothly. I would have preferred to see more UI improvements to help convey some of the information more quickly.

It took me a while to figure out the mechanics, (I'm a bit tired after this 3 days) but after that I really enjoyed the game. :) I'd make some API for AI programming, then try out the bots against each other :P

Wasnt quite sure what I was doing but I included it in part 14 of my Ludum Dare 30 Compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/fQEfK1MQqVU
