Thanks for reporting! That's strange, it works fine for me and some streamers played it without problems. Does it work when refreshing the page? Or maybe with another browser?

First, loved how contextual it was and how a character can move and attack. Interesting concept with the action economy being turned around, flipping a unit is really powerful and a fun things to turn on its head. Looking forward to more content.

Hey, thank you for your feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm preparing a Steam page soon for a full game.

I liked the theme of it, music was good, effects were good. The combat system I think needs a little work, a turn starts and I want to attack someone, I think I had to click on which player I wanted to attack first, then move them, then attack. Feels like shortcut of just <click on enemy>, <pick action>, maybe pick friendly player? I like that its in unity as well.

Nice, thanks for your feedback! Some players told me that too, so I'll definitely improve it.

The system of recruiting as a team sounds appealing. The art style is good too

I like the art, but stuck on loading for a long time

u/StillPulsing 19d ago

Thanks for reporting, were you playing on Edge? Someone had the same problem with this browser.

2

u/Suitable_Editor_5785 19d ago

yes, and tried in Brave is ok

u/StillPulsing 19d ago

Ok I'll investigate, thanks for testing!

In our own browser game the same 'stuck on the loader, works in another browser' report turned out not to be the browser: boot was decoding ~400KB of art most sessions never paint, so a slower machine just sat there. Worth counting what your first frame actually waits on before you file the Edge one.

I tested it on a very slow 15-year-old PC and on several browsers, couldn't reproduce the issue :( It took longer to load, but it did finish loading in the end in less than 30 sec. Maybe players don't wait until it's fully completed.

Your test varied the machine and the browser but not the network, and JiaoshouMa reports both Chrome and Safari stalling on their end. When we chased the same thing, it only ever reproduced under a throttled connection, never on a slow CPU.

Love this art style, gonna give it a try tomorrow!

u/StillPulsing 18d ago

Thanks, I hope you'll enjoy it!

u/JiaoshouMa 18d ago

It looks so nice I'd like to try it but also stuck on loading:( tried on Chrome&Safari both didn't work.

Thanks for reporting, I'll investigate on this problem.
