There are so many thing to do in the first level it's really hard to pick up on the basics. I managed to finish it in 11 moves on my first try, and that's far too much effort for a first level, for the first thing a player has to do. Try to ease in new players into the game. I think the first level should have just had the king and 1 or 2 servants, no death, no spiky things that apparently don't kill you (I though they did, based on the graphics)."},{"author_name":"ThirteenWB","author_uid":"22557","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 2:55pm","epoch":1377528600,"text":"This was weirdly relaxing to play, kind of nice really...\r<br\/>Would have been nice to have been able to skip the countdown if I had already told my servants what to do.\r<br\/>The graphics and audio were amazing! :)"},{"author_name":"rincewind_cz","author_uid":"25122","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 3:26pm","epoch":1377530460,"text":"ThirteenWB: Thank you!

You have exactly 10 seconds to give orders to your 'Seconds' (servants) -- king can't be moved by himself, he must be pushed by servants\/opponents. If you lose during your overall game play 10 your servants you'll lose for good. Enjoy!\r\n\r\nIMPORTANT -- Additional Gameplay Info & Tips:\r\n* You can skip the waiting by pressing spacebar anytime in the Set-Up phase.\r\n* Spiky things are harmless when they touch you. They only make your king's navigation harder.\r\n* You can win not just only by pushing king onto the finish square, but also by killing all spiky things.","title":"ShuffleLand"}
