It took me a minute to figure out that the playing field on the left was draggable, and another minute to figure out what was going on and what I could do, but once I did it was pretty fun. I wasn't sure how to save up the green stuff, but somehow I managed to buy a triangle guy and nobody seemed to be able to touch him, so I won. Also, the jar crashes when I try to open up the help menu.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>This is a great start though, and with a little polish to make things more obvious, this could be a really fun game. I could see this being played on a tablet with two players. Really great start.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>By the way, if you're looking for a more Java-centric host, you might check out the free Java hosting I offer at http:\/\/StaticVoidGames.com. I'd love to see this game there!"},{"author_name":"Norgg","author_uid":"5283","time":"Jan 5, 2013 @ 11:59pm","epoch":1357430040,"text":"First playthrough: Click instructions, game crashes.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Second playthrough: What is going on?  Oh, I guess I'm the guy at the bottom and I can buy extra units, I'll try clicking on a unit on the right, why isn't anything happening?  I'll try clicking on the board somewhere, oh a guy turned up in that field.  Oh, my opponent has a guy who I can't seem to touch who is killing me.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Third playthrough: Buy the cheapest guy and send him down the same lane repeatedly until I win.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The more expensive units seem insanely priced and unlikely to come into play here unless you played for a really long time from what I've figured out so far.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I don't really understand how this fits the theme."},{"author_name":"tompudding","author_uid":"12467","time":"Jan 7, 2013 @ 9:09pm","epoch":1357592640,"text":"I liked the smooth scrolling, and it was kind of fun after I figured out what to do!
