great job!

A unique game that requires the player to have a powerful grasp on the games mechanics. The game also has nice graphics and sound effects

Took me a bit to realize you have to go to the menu to go to the next level. I kept thinking I was losing.

Otherwise the game was fun, good job.

Felt good getting through the levels. Found it strange that you can stack a unit on an enemy's, however.

That was probably the most fun game in the combo I've played so far. Got to level 8 before I struggled. It takes a while to learn since the game doesn't explain much, but it has some really neat mechanics!

**This needs a multiplayer. It's that fun.** Congratulations, sir. You simplified Advance Wars and made it fun.

I agree with the opinion of @darylsteak, you need to have a powerful grasp on the mechanics. However, it's simple enough for you to learn. It's chess, it's rock-paper-scissors, and you just have to put the units next to each other than over it.

I can't really say much here but if you want to make this game's better, I suggest you start your design aesthetics from scratch. The "Tower, People, Tanks" aesthetics doesn't fit the rock-paper-scissors sense. It's bad enough that I start to call them as chess pieces: The Pawn(People), The Tower(Dictator) and the Tank.

You made a great job of this and this should be certainly improved.

The art has a gritty, juicy feeling to it and the concept is really cool ! Well done, cheers !

@Zax: sadly, I cannot get it to run on Linux using wine! Any chance of a linux build?

zax 2017-12-04 13:24

@zapakitul sorry dude , idon't think i can publish it for Linux right now thx anyway :|

What a great game! So simple but so interesting. If you polish this game, I would buy it and play it for hours on end, and I'm sure I'm not the only one!

Woah, civil war matches perfectly the rock-paper-scissor mechanics. Nice job!

I love the simplified tactical, is makes it more like a clasical board game. Securing teritories, controlling the space... Plays like a Go game :)

Awesome comeback! It's a fun game, a bit hard to get the rules at start, but the smashing of cities feels marvelous! I will play it some more when I'm less super tired! We just published our game and our energy levels are super low :D It was a great round though!

Nice turn based game with rock-paper-scissors mechanic. First 3 level quickly teach new player what to do and how game work. Later levels are challenging but with feel fair and are beatable. I like art style, it is unique and sets nice to the game. In overall pretty fun game.

Very nice game! One of my favorites so far!

Nice game ! I liked the art. The music was pretty nice too (although for some reason when entering a level it would stop). The gameplay is pretty good (I guess I'm biased since I like Advance Wars quite a bit) although in my opinion the game isn't very readable and sometimes it's hard to understand what is going on. Overall it's a very nice game, good work ! It'd be worth polishing if you are interested in continuing your work on it.
