The restart is not working but the idea with the health bar is great! spending money like that is stressfull :D

@black-potion Thanks for the bug report - all fixed! And thanks for giving my game a shot :-)

Interesting gameplay definitely one of the more original i have seen, but it is very hard to get into (for me that is) after the first move of sprores i could do nothing anymore the i had no more spores and neither did the city.

One tip is make a skip for the intro i tried it a few times and clicking trough it every restart (browser refresh) was not fun

@aterlamia Appreciate the feedback - I agree that with the random generation sometimes you get a bad hand and no real way out after your first drop of spores. You can actually skip the tutorial by clicking on the target/bullseye button. If you don't want to place your spores right away, then you can click on the water and it cancel the placement action. Then you're free to look at all the islands. Thanks for playing my game!

didn't understand even after reading the rules, sorry, i didn't rate your game then :)

@enderswype I appreciate the honest feedback. I'll do some work on it to clear things up!

I always have 0 total spores after the first move. Please show us a video of how the start of the game is supposed to be played.

@bar hmmm I haven't run into a 0 Total Spores bug yet. All you should have to do is click the bullseye button and then click on any City/Island. If the game loads and it doesn't say 50, then it might be a compatibility bug. I've tested it on Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and IE for PC with no issue. If you tell me what browser & platform, I can dig into it some more. I appreciate the feedback!

@bar I found the issue you were talking about and have now updated the game with a fix. Let me know if you still run into problems. Thanks for the help!
