Also, it froze when i right-clicked inside my base which was surrounded by walls completely. Nice game overall though."},{"author_name":"Fenreliania","author_uid":"55043","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 10:02am","epoch":1440410220,"text":"A good attempt, and getting a multiplayer game with a hosted server is no small task, but the game ultimately doesn't have much to it. I couldn't see a way to collect resources, and unless I'm missing something there were only two items in the shop; walls and flags. Clicking on the wall and then where I wanted it each time proved frustrating, the ability to click and drag or at least keep the shop item selected would have made things much nicer."},{"author_name":"Vaiaphraim","author_uid":"55795","time":"Aug 28, 2015 @ 1:04pm","epoch":1440766740,"text":"It's a cool idea, really, but the map is a bit... hard to navigate. The terrain is the same overall, so there are no points you could remember, etc. A minimap would help a lot here, indeed. I think there should also be defensive measures to protect what you have created, maybe NPC minions, or a turret?"},{"author_name":"crafteverywhere","author_uid":"54824","time":"Sep 2, 2015 @ 6:13pm","epoch":1441217280,"text":"Love this kind of game.
