It almost plays like a puzzle game, reminds me of peg solitaire for some reason :)\r\rI found that if I cycle to the last elf in the list and then move him three times, it ends my turn even if I hadn't finished moving the other elves, which can kind of unexpectedly ruin your plan.\r\rIt would have been cool to have the strengths\/weaknesses highlighted for the current selected character. The most time-consuming thing in the game is looking at the key at the top trying to figure out which class is good against which.\r\rAlso, good job with the piano music, it's pretty cool :D"},{"author_name":"TeamQuadratic","author_uid":"18547","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 1:45am","epoch":1418175600,"text":"Love the pixel art!

It took me some time to understand how to really play...\r\rHaving said that, it's a fun game. :D Not really that hard to remember the weaknesses, since looking at the left circle, the two classes a class beats are the two immediately to its right, so it's just a matter of remembering the order they appear there.\r\rNice job ^^"},{"author_name":"Wilson","author_uid":"21565","time":"Dec 11, 2014 @ 2:18pm","epoch":1418307180,"text":"Cool game, took me a little while to figure out how I could wait with elves by clicking on them."},{"author_name":"Ossi","author_uid":"26674","time":"Dec 13, 2014 @ 12:16am","epoch":1418429460,"text":"Really nice artwork and simple and effective mechanics.

You play as the Elves and try to destroy all the Snowmen invading the North Pole.\r\n\r\nEach Elf can take 3 moves before he ends his turn.\r\nTo battle, an Elf and a Snowman must be on adjacent tiles after all moves have been completed.\r\n\r\nControls:\r\n-Left click on adjacent open tile to move an Elf one space.\r\n-Right click anywhere to cycle through your Elves.\r\n-Click on the Elf to waste a move\r\n\r\nThere are two weakness circles in the game. They are shown at the top of the screen. They both work for both sides. In other words, each class has 2 classes it beats and 2 classes it loses to. The weakness circles are read as the class on the right beats the class on the left.\r\n\r\nIf an Elf and a Snowman engage in battle as the same class, they will both lose one life.\r\n\r\nEach soldier can take 2 defeats before it dies.\r\n\r\n*I apologize for not having a web version.
