    Any idea on how long the sale will last? I'm trying to get my friend to buy it but he says he needs to wait until he gets paid. Knowing him he probably won't buy it if it goes back up to regular price. :(

    Few minor things I'd like to see in a future update:
    1) More music, I really liked the music you guys used for One vs Many.
    2) Green got some pretty kickass sound effects for their weapons. Red and Blue sound effects are kinda muffled behind the music, even if music is cranked down and the effects are cranked up. I'd like louder or new sounds for Red and Blue.
    3) Notification of who's online and not (same with friend list). I'd like to know who's online.

    These aren't anything major or gamebreaking, but I'd feel like they would add to the game.

    I will be leaving up the sale price until we've fixed multiplayer. :)

    so there's no definite end point, but it should be within a week.

    Server 1: "Server has bugs :(" 0 Players
    Server 2: "Debug: Keep Out!" 4 Players
    So I joined the debug server :p who did I meet?
    John, john, john (yep. Two phones + one debug machine thing...) and victor. We started a match... After a while I noticed that nothing happened anymore. The all feared freeze :-( anyway, john told me I'm gonna crash ;-)

    btw, I noticed something about
    online gameplay...
    When you are in a full match with many different colors, it's really hard to tell who's in your team and who's not. You definitely need to add some kind of indicator.

    Heh, I did lower it to easy on the "White Knight" level, but only to get the feel of the level. I changed it back to normal and beat it again after that. :p

    So Ving, wanna try that match for the fleet? Every time we tried The game would fail. :p

    I'm getting on now if anyone wants to battle.

    We'll do testmatches for the fleet when we decided which members are the testers and when the servers work properly ;)

    im thinking of getting this since it is on sale. i am mixed when it comes to RTS's i loved robocolypse when it came to the variety. i also played warfare inc, but it got repetitive and the missions took too long. do you recommend this to me?

    I didn't realize how silly overpowered the green harvester was until I compared the stats with the red one.

    Green harvester:
    cost: 1500
    build time: 10s
    hp: 3000 +30/s
    speed: 40/s
    Plus it can attack

    Red harvester:
    cost: 2000
    build time: 10s
    hp: 2000 +20/s
    speed: 30/s

    So this is why harvester spam is so effective...

    I beat Vingdoloras one vs one! I am so happy!:D

    But seriously, I played 3 games in a row without a crash, that's a new record for me and I can tell that some of the bugs are getting worked out. John, you are the most awesome developer on the appstore. Thanks so much.

    @sebasterbator: Don't forget that they can self-replicate, that's why you can get so many of them so fast. It's freakin' ridiculous.

    John will balance this soon. Until then, just play red and blue only or, when playing green, plaY green vs green.


    I just had a match vs Noman (and I lost ;)) it was nice xD I then wanted a revanche, but the game froze.

    I started some more games with other people, everytime we had more than one it just froze at "Waiting for others"... Noman guessed it was because someone lagged.
    My last match was strange. It was a 1on1 blue vs blue on Density level. The game suddenly told me I won. I felt a bit weird becaise I just spawned my first carrier and nothing else xD then I went to the game lobby, and noticed that the other one was still playing! I could even watch him (observer modenis cool :))! But then, after a minute, the units stopped moving (which some people here call freeze)...

    Now we can't even start a game anymore because we can't select a map (we can but it isn't saved or displayed or anything. And when trying to start it says pick a valid level)

    I was just saying that it seems that if one person has a spotty internet connection it will freeze for everyone. I've had a much higher success rate in 1v1 games that in larger games. It just makes sense.

    P.S. I would have won the rematch too Vingdoloras.;)

    Are you able to play as the blue forces in this game in multiplayer or single player?
