Perhaps it would have been better if you could move and attack in the same turn."},{"author_name":"ThirdMoon","author_uid":"51739","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 12:09am","epoch":1429661040,"text":"Tricky but Funny! =)"},{"author_name":"lochmann-apps","author_uid":"52509","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 2:09pm","epoch":1429711440,"text":"Really good idea.

The more tiles you occupied, the more powerful your units are with the amount of directly connected tiles.\r\n\r\nGoal of this game, is to destroy all other towers. The only attackers are your units, which can be spawn if you rolled 2 dices of the same value.\r\n\r\nThe total value from the dices you get, allow your units to move around the board. Whichever tile the unit occupied, will belong that unit's tower.\r\n\r\nYou can only attack adjacent Tower or Unit. And you can only attack before you make a move. If you have already moved a unit, you won't be able to attack.\r\n\r\n======= CONTROL =========\r\nTo move a unit, click on your unit, and then the adjacent tile.\r\n\r\nTo attack another unit\/tower, click on your unit, and then the target unit\/tower.\r\n\r\nTo move camera, hold A, D, Left arrow or Right arrow.\r\n\r\nTo zoom the camera, mouse scroll to zoom.\r\n\r\n\r\n========== NOTE ==========\r\nI originally intended to add AI for the opponents, but I didn't have time for that, so it ended up becoming a local multiplayer setting.\r\n\r\nAnd I apologize for the lack of HUD.\r\n\r\nThere's a known bug where after you replay the game, the lighting color get somewhat strange...\r\n\r\nAnd there's another bug where you can attack another unit after you move. That is not by design...\r\n\r\nI'm having problem having the game to run on web broswer, so currently there's only standalone build for window. Sorry for the trouble.\r\n\r\n\r\n====== CHANGLOG ========\r\n- bug fixed for enabling hitting of other unit even after you have moved your own unit.\r\n- linked up the Web GL version, hopefully it work nicely =)","title":"Area Weapon Domination"}
