The resolution could stay the same, but it should at least up scale.\nAnd because it is just this tiny window, scrolling the map is way too fiddly. Actually, map scrolling felt like the limiting factor in my playthroughs.\nAlso, there were some grey artifacts on the map which fooled me several times, because I thought they were mines, but when coming closer, they disappeared.\n\nThe controls were not obvious from just jumping in the game, but after reading the instructions it all worked out pretty nicely.\n\n\nGreat entry with lots of potential!","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":757859,"author_name":"quasar098","author_uid":"quasar098","epoch":1633882367,"text":"super difficult, super confusing.\nthe mouse should pan with rmb down on white area rather than insanely precise mouse placement.\nmy units didnt attack, neither did i figure out how to get money in the 20 minutes that i attempted to play\n\noverall very confusing\n\n(and yes i read the instructions 5 times over)","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":765361,"author_name":"retrome","author_uid":"retrome","epoch":1634398122,"text":"Nice little game.
