We are going to continue to work on the game, so please keep checking the website for new builds!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Priority #1 is that feedback screen.  We are going to have a breakdown of what each player's choices were for the previous round.  That way you can make informed decisions on how you can best counter them.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>There was not much time to balance the abilities.  We will be tweaking them in the coming days, plus adding new abilities!"},{"author_name":"kevincorrigan","author_uid":"15028","time":"Aug 28, 2012 @ 11:41pm","epoch":1346196960,"text":"Interesting Idea, first multi player game I've played so far."},{"author_name":"daydalus","author_uid":"7722","time":"Aug 29, 2012 @ 12:27am","epoch":1346199720,"text":"Really like the concept.  Great chiptunes music.   Was tough to tell what abilities were being used, or which player won each battle.   A stat or battle report screen would be key so each player would know what skills to pick to level up.  Overall, nice work on this one.  A few tweaks and this could be a classic party game"},{"author_name":"zatyka","author_uid":"14357","time":"Aug 29, 2012 @ 1:53am","epoch":1346204880,"text":"Very nice concept, and it has TONS of potential.

It was a little hard to know the value of the different elements or special abilities, as they didn't show up in an obvious way on the screen (other than Nova, which was cool).  Stats and a more detailed combat with more animations might help you know what was going on.  Also, some explanation as to the difference between the elements and different abilities; I'm sure there are some good combos, but I didn't have enough information to figure that out.  It would be cool if you could battle vs. AI players, too, so you didn't have to pick all the options yourself.  Nice work!"},{"author_name":"CappaGames","author_uid":"12184","time":"Sep 1, 2012 @ 2:29am","epoch":1346466240,"text":"Cool idea and the music was great."},{"author_name":"matthias_zarzecki","author_uid":"3880","time":"Sep 6, 2012 @ 12:18am","epoch":1346890380,"text":"Good god the intro takes way too long.

The game starts by each player customizing their units with elements and abilities.  When the match starts the units will attack each other with their limited AI.
