That post makes the whole game far more understandable now! Any chance of a bit more info on the upgrading section? nb I can email, post on another forum or PM questions to you if you prefer?
Thank you for the promo code! I haven't had a lot of time to play it, yet (fortunately the weekend is almost here!) but I've completed the tutorials and leveled up a couple of times, so I'm starting to get a good sense of the game. So far, I'm really enjoying it! You start to realize strategy is involved early on and it almost feels like a game of chess as you carefully choose which type of ship to place on which hex and where. It was great seeing how the different types of ships respond in battle and you quickly learn to vary the order of ships you place around the hexes. (I do wish the battles had audio, however, so maybe at some point that might get added?) Seems like there is a lot to discover - lots of cards with different types of ships become available; ability to do upgrades; missions; plus other battles - so it should keep things interesting for a while, yet - - I look forward to spending more time with it soon! (Note: so far I've only played it on the iPad, so not sure how legible some of the fonts will be on the smaller phone screens, but the tablet experience is good!)
@Barbily - is the store active? I just tried to buy some Dark Matter and it went through fine up until after I had entered my Apple password but froze after that? Obviously don't know if the transaction has gone through yet but I know the Dark Matter isn't showing on my account?
Store is not active until the game is released onto the appstore. Just as a reward for trying to pay us...(uhum, not obligatory as the whole game can be played for free, but always a nice thing to get rewarded for your work) I will ask the dev to give you some dark matter on your account (please pm me your username) ps the transaction won't have gone through yet, so in fact you won't get that billing message from appstore.
Glad to hear my explanation for the battle mechanics is useful. I will see to produce another one on the design your unique 3D spaceships soon! In summary, you can own pig coins through: winning battles, steal from another player ('Stealth Raid'), build amazing fleets that others want to hire (become the mercenary) These pig coins can be used in upgrading your ships, buy a new type of weapon/chassis. Both ships and weapon's stats can be upgraded too using pig coins. Welcome to post more feedbacks, you can shape the game to be better before it is actually released!
Thanks and really glad our game is providing enjoyment Point taken: will think about adding music in the battle
Enjoying the challenge of this, oh and got the dark matter so thanks. Think I've found a bug, when I lose some battles it is taking me back to the how to upgrade your pilots tutorial, resets the pilot level to 1 and forces you to spend 1500 to upgrade. Not game breaking but irritating. Oh and the strike wing maxed out and using missiles are beastly!
Oh wow this does look amazing. Like the previous poster, will this be a standard Thursday release? I don't want to miss it.
Found and fixed! Keep more coming, we are in the fixing mood! Also a new version will be submitted to apple for review tonight
We are taking some player feedbacks into account, and improve the game before releasing it. Sorry for the confusion. Meanwhile, I've pm'ed you a promo code, hope you enjoy the game!
@Tinsel Thanks, we are submitted a new version to apple tonight, hopefully it will be released on a Thursday in the next week or two. I've pm'ed you a promo code. Hope you enjoy the game!
