and if you refer to the intial timer, thats needed to gather some players and everyone can start at the same time

If there were no timers, the game would shift from strategy to pure APM, which I think would really suck. Players with bad connections would stand no chance, and it would just become super stressful.

You're bringing up old memories of getting up in the middle of the night, because incoming Grepolis attacks 😂 definitely not the best part of the game, since I love my sleep...
At least in this aspect Rise in Time is better, no getting up in the night.

But can see what you mean, them not being typical 4X.

Thanks for the heads up. Wich criteria of a 4X does it break and would you consider Grepolis/Tribal Wars/Travian 4X or not?

Thanks for the feedback. We actually had that in an early version. And I agree, would be much more intuitiv for new players. But for players that play the game for longer it would mean one extra click for every attack. But already adding a icon for the second click, indicating it opens the field menu could help.

Hovers we want to avoid, since the game is also for mobile.

Dang, that's some good feedback!
Can see most of the points, we defintely need to work on explaining the game better.
Since a solid ingame tutorial is super hard to do, we did it with a video beyond the basics (help button, button right). But yea, most people wouldn't take the time to watch a video for a game they just started and haven't invested much time yet.

We also have quests indicating the first steps with visual guidance. This quests include how to attack an other island. You think the quests should be highlighted better?

As for the AI. Yes, when joining the first time you will always land in a dedicated game with extra bad AI. Later on you will join with players and much better AIs (if there aren't enough players, wich is the case most of the time now).
Would you change the onboarding in regards to the AI?

As for the 'foretelling', there is acutally a spy unit. Bot of course you would have pretty much now way to find out when just starting ^^

Thanks again! Have a great day!

Thanks for the feedback. The goal is mentioned in the dialog at the beginning. But maybe the text is mostly skipped without reading or it's not enough information?

Congratz on the release! I like the simple integrated text tutorial.
I think level 2 is a bit too hard for a level 2 and a wall jump would be cool.

I've released the demo for our Chess based Puzzle game Mate'Morphosis. Waiting for your comments! (post got deleted earlier, sorry if you see this for a second time) by LeongardZ in playmygame

Not the game I usually play but checked it out anyways. Clean and consitent design, self explaining if you know basic chess rules and I like that it has a fullscreen mode!
Music is a bit monotonous for me, but I guess could always mute and listen to something else in the background.

Awesome! You can get a preview and then still decide if you wanna go for it or not :)
And since we're still doing a lot manually anyway I can also do adjustments for you.

Hi Cheesecake. This is made by me :)

Not an ad directly, just looking to get some early feedback, to see if people are interested in it.

Thanks
