I'd like if there was a mechanism to teach you the patterns for the units, such as when a new pattern is made the game pauses a moment to show you a brief popup of the unit and its abilities. Nice job!"},{"author_name":"PotatoIng_","author_uid":"94858","time":"Aug 29, 2016 @ 5:22am","epoch":1472447820,"text":"Quite fun, once you get the hang of it:).

It was hard to get at first, but once you got ahold of it, it was immersing and fun. I suggest that you make the computer a little easier. Even when I was spawning as quick as I could, most of the action was taking place in my half."},{"author_name":"jakatpemadi","author_uid":"111929","time":"Aug 29, 2016 @ 8:44pm","epoch":1472503140,"text":"It's fun.
