Loved it. Splendidly done.

I've never been a big fan of platformers, but every once in a while exceptions to this rule do pop up, and what we have here is one of them. I'm not entirely sure what (if anything?) the player sprite is supposed to be depicting, but other than this, great game.

Pleased with this one. Great concept, matching execution, and the whole thing is challenging enough. Looks good as well.

More detailed thoughts about the game.

- Was a bit thrown off by the fact that in order to name the group you can't just input the name and move on: need to press "Enter" to actually finish inputting the name. - Hotkeys would be of great help in battle, something like 1..6 to quickly select your fighters. As things are, I think positioning is quite a bit harder than it needs to be. - I think it's great that the group's founder, the character you started with, isn't protected by any plot armour whatsoever and can easily perish on the battlefield. - Unless the intention is for the player to learn this over time, I'd consider adding a way to appraise the difficulty of combat encounters. - Icons for weapons are perfectly legible, and yet, I doubt that tooltips with descriptions would be amiss. - On a somewhat related note, it'd be nice if visited settlements somehow differed from those that haven't been entered yet.

I'm fond of the way you use cards to represent not just what the player has/can do, but also the general state of the world and other entities, be they enemies or NPCs. Neat game and a solid fit for Android.
