&quot;Like who you work with: In life, and in business, surrounding yourself with people you enjoy makes difficult times easy.&quot;<p>A very underrated statement. This really matters. No matter what you do in life, it <i>always</i> comes down to the people you do it with. E.g. People don&#x27;t leave a company, they leave their boss. People don&#x27;t leave a marriage, they leave their spouse etc etc.

In Tutorial, when being instructed to place the 8th-grader, it&#x27;s not clear that it should be placed on a specific tile out of 6 (?) highlighted. Took me some clicking around to notice that small <i>green</i> arrow against <i>greenish</i> tile and realize that.<p>Later on, same hiccup with &quot;Now press forward&quot;. Green smallish arrow against cyan background next to green header pointing at green field... you see where I&#x27;m going.<p><pre><code> -- </code></pre> All in all, while this is not something that I&#x27;d play, it appears to be really well done and it leaves great first impression. Congrats on the launch and here&#x27;s to hoping it will make you rich, healthy and happy! :)

Something that is not said often enough: congratulations on launching! Even if it was years behind schedule

Good work!<p>I tried out the tutorial and thought it was pretty good, but wanted more before signing up. I&#x27;d recommend putting in another larger battle where the tutorial ends, so I can get a feel for how the game plays.

Gave the tutorial a try and signed up.<p>We&#x27;re huge fans of tactical strategy games here in the office, so I&#x27;ve shot the link around to get a few people up and running. Small game studio based out of Toronto here, so if you&#x27;d like some feedback from peers, let me know and I&#x27;d be happy to collect what feedback we can offer. :)<p>Congrats on launching!

There&#x27;s some pretty unpleasant stuff in the &quot;Terms and Conditions&quot;. I didn&#x27;t agree.<p>* If you link to the site, you can only say nice things<p>* You can&#x27;t opt out of their emails<p>* They say, &quot;please refer to our privacy policy&quot; but there isn&#x27;t one (this might be an oversight or maybe I just missed it)<p>[edit for formatting]

<i>Don’t waste hours hours on something someone else can do in minutes. Value your time.</i><p>Yep, hence why I hire designers..

I played through a dummy game for about 20 minutes.<p>This seems like it will be a lot of fun. My suggestion: Make basic info (attack,movement, etc) about the brawlers viewable without clicking. There&#x27;s too much clicking as a new player because I don&#x27;t know what anything does.

&quot;Had 1,867,713 additions, 1,748,514 deletions and 4,923 project commits.&quot;<p>Damn you&#x27;re persistent!<p>In hindsight, why did take so much longer than initially expected? Poor estimation of the initial target, or a large change from the initial target?

Tip to others trying the game: Play multiple games at once. Start a game, then open the menu on the left, click Start Game, and begin another. I&#x27;ve found some players are quite unresponsive and having a few on the go keeps it interesting. You get notified when it is your turn in each game. Enjoyed my first foray into this game, nice work guys :)<p>Feedback:<p>- As someone else said the &#x27;End Turn&#x27; button should disappear or be more heavily disabled when it&#x27;s not your turn. A more prominent alert at the top of the screen when the turn hands over would be nice too.<p>- Notifying of the turns you need to take is great when you have multiple games on the go and totally saved the experience for me. It would be even better if you could jump between games more quickly. Imagine a quick-jump menu on the right with all your active games in it.<p>- Music&#x2F;Sound please! (I&#x27;m sure you&#x27;re working on this!)

My main feedback based on playing one game is that &quot;End turn&quot; shouldn&#x27;t be visible, even faded, if it&#x27;s not my turn. I found myself clicking that a lot during my first game because I wasn&#x27;t sure if I&#x27;d passed control to the opponent or not.

Well, that felt intuitive. I didn&#x27;t want to click on a card then click the (i) to view a detailed description. So I held ctrl and clicked it. It worked!<p>I&#x27;m going through the challenges right now. So far I&#x27;m really enjoying this. Nice work!

Isn&#x27;t it great that stuff like this isn&#x27;t getting getting built in Flash anymore.

Awesome game! Totally with you..Launching as early as possible with a MVP simply doesnt work for games.. There are some exceptions if you target the right audience (Minecraft) but in general gamers are very unforgiving. This being a side project made by 2 people who have jobs and families i can only imagine what kind of work went into that. Great job!

Great game! Do you have short overview of what you used for making this game (frameworks, database, hardware, etc.)?

Played the game, it is very good. A couple of points, - I was also confused by the end turn button. - Is there time limit on the move? It wasn&#x27;t very clear to me. -It wasn&#x27;t clear to me that traps affect friendly units (A warning would be good.

&gt; Had 1,867,713 additions, 1,748,514 deletions and 4,923 project commits.<p>93% of the code written was replaced at an average of 734 lines changed per commit. That is some serious coding.

Not sure how I feel about the considerable bonuses for supporters. Maybe less cards&#x2F;gold and more aesthetic things? Gold bonus and 50% more cards per challenge reward is quite high.

Not sure if anyone here had the pleasure of playing &quot;Glitch&quot;, but the copy done by Chris Shorrock is wonderfully crafted and reminiscent of the game.

Oh my god someone wrote something awesome<p>I am going to be the best, like no one ever was

Congrats on launching! Not much of a gaming guy but liked the tutorial you have. Good luck!

I forgot how tedious signup forms are. OpenID or facebook&#x2F;twitter login?

&gt; Keep emotions out of arguments.<p>Impossible.
