I can't get pass the title screen. All I get is beeps no matter what I press or click :(

Same problem for me. Despite everything I trid, I didn't managed to get pass the menu.

I liked this game in theory, but in practice it was a little hard to tell what was going on... I scanned a tank to the South, so tried to "move south" but got command not recognised. I then turned 180 degrees and scanned again... still saw a tank to the south.

I think the main problem with the other user's input is that your text doesn't appear in the box when you type. Is it black text on a black background?

I think this has the potential to be a really fun tactical game with a bit more polish!

Also had the same issues :((

Can't play?

Sorry it took me so long to respond, the site that is hosting this is being a bit difficult. So some things that might help, the black bar is suppose to be the input field, everything is type then hit enter, at the menu 0(enter) to play and 1(enter) suppose to exit but doesn't, enter the command help to get some basic commands.

Hi @bdorman and @Braden Bodily,

I too had quite some issues getting started even with your help in the post above. The sound you get when typing sounds like you are doing something wrong (like the old mac fail sound), maybe choose a typewriter sound during input so the user doesn't get confused. Also, if you could see what you are typing into the black box that would really help as well. I stumbled quite a bit to get started.

but, ah ha! I found that typing "help" brings up a list of commands. For some reason it's not allowing me to post a screen capture with this post, but that could really help other players.

OK, now I'm starting to get going. Aside from the issue with the input controls, I really like the graphics -- looks like an old computer screen, and I like the background drone. It makes things creepy as you get into the game which is nice. I also like the creativity of having the screen shake when you run into something. the fire sound is awesome. But for now I'm stuck slamming into something. You get a few too many slam messages such that you can't see the results of commands. So I'll probably restart.

Anyway, with a few tweaks to increase user control this could be quite a fun one!

best,
Dave

Trying to post the "help" image

I like the idea of this, the sound and art all work well enough. I had the same issue with being unable to see my text, but could still play well enough.
I couldn't manage to hit any enemy, maybe my ranges were just wrong...
