Everything had a cohesiveness not often present in a compo game. The graphics where not blowing my mind, but still decent to look at. My brother and I had a go at it and found it too be fun, but lacking in depth. I believe you would find merit in working with the LOVE2D framework. It is simple to learn and based upon lua, so you should have no trouble picking it up. It would also allow for easy cross platform development. https:\/\/love2d.org\/","likes":3,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"glitchy-pixel","author_uid":"1013644","time":"2017-05-19T23:31:47Z","epoch":1495236707,"modified":1495236852,"text":"I managed to find tow more players to play. Is way too much fun to play huddled in the keyboard, all fighting for one sectior, and then the saltiness when someone just wants to destroy one of the conquered ones :D.\n\nIt may seem far fetched, but I can see some kind of tournament play with a combination of fighting game and sector conquering :).\n\nVery polished entry, nice graphics, sound and speacially gameplay. For the little gameplay stuff you make there is a lot to enjoy. \nI enjoyed the level of detail you made here, theres just so much fun when playgin with more people. Good entry, congratulations!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Swynfel","author_uid":"1007794","time":"2017-05-20T15:11:56Z","epoch":1495293116,"modified":1495293116,"text":"Very nice little game!\n\nThe tic tac toe idea is a great way to make the fighting even more intense! It might be a little long though, because you loose often when you try to conquer a teritory, and then you can destroy. I have only played it with 2 players, but I suppose with more it's almost impossible to conquer a teritory because everyone wants to kill you, no? I would say maybe give a little advantage somehow could help?\n\nThe fighting in itself is very polished, and I haven't found any frustrating bug. The cloud plateforms is a nice idea, and complexifies the fighting without having too many controls.\n\nAnyway, good job! :)","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"lavwa","author_uid":"1003980","time":"2017-05-20T15:17:27Z","epoch":1495293447,"modified":1495293447,"text":"Tr\u00e8s impressionnant !
