Flip Tactics by Kalabasa
READ THIS FOR THE RULES!
This is not an orignial idea. Idea from:
Three Hundred : Mechanic #041
http://www.squidi.net/three/entry.php?id=41
This is a multiplayer tactics game. There is no AI. There is no network multiplayer. That's out of scope :(
Pieces:
1. King - sphere. Protect this.
2. Mage - tall & thin. Can flip tiles.
3. Soldier - big. Plain pieces.
Rules:
1. You lose when your King dies.
2. A piece dies if it is outnumbered - the number of neighbor (8-cell neighbors) enemies is one greater than the number of neighbor allies. [enemies > allies + 1]
Movement:
1. The King can move one tile in four directions per turn.
2. Others can move one tile in 8 directions per turn.
To flip tiles, select the Mage, then click the tile it is on.
To deselect, click some other tile.
Sorry for the lack of polish. This was the 2nd attempt at making a game. I wasted about 2/3 of the time trying to implement the other idea I had. haha. this was more of a prototype

Only thing I'd say is to have a method for deselecting the mage and for instantly flipping the table over. The click-drag feature is bothersome and gives you really weird angles.
