    What I hope is included are like rampage moments. Lets say you get 50 men to safety... At that point a weapons icon would appear. You walk onto it and just kill everything in the vicinity.

    Also, if I pause during gameplay I can't restart, only resume.

    As well, like pluto mentioned, an easy mode is a good idea. OR just extend the time limit on Normal. Really starting to like this one as I play more.


    OK, this is pretty huge and has probably already been mentioned before: how come if I have a soldier slated for a certain sphere I can't then move him to a closer one? That's a game breaker, kinda for me. I don't wanna be shoehorned into making it to one sphere. And I can see being very frustrated when the screen becomes cluttered. It's probably me, though, as I'm already seeing scores in the hundreds.

    Playing, at present, and I've hit a BAD case of slowdown. I'm at 54. If it weren't for the fact that the game is walk-oriented, I'd consider it unplayable. Still fun, though. But slowdown ain't fun.

    Finished at 79. Not bad. I think the slowdown helped me... Hee hee

    Just found something kinda cool. Although the enemy guys must be autistic or something...

    If you get inside the enemy triangle of sight (not the enemy circle) and go prone they can't see you. I like it.

    Though if they walk into you, you get killed so you have to hope they move away at some point.

    ok, some impressions:

    -I might be bad, but I think that a gentler learning curve (or multiple difficulty settings) could be a good idea for the casual player. Until now my best is just 17, although I think I can get better

    -Possible thing to have to look at: collisions with the wooden house in the middle. When a path goes around it, sometimes the soldier walks around it, sometimes the path gets interrupted. Seems to be random.

    -When you have multiple soldiers of the same type on the field, you also have multiple destination circles of the same color. This might be a bit confusing (about which soldier have to go on a given circle), although I don't know how this could be solved. I know that you should trace the path of each soldier before sending the new one, but you could have to interrupt that path, so...

    -The "new soldier indicator" could be a bit bigger, sometimes I have to tap more than once on it.

    things I'd like to see:

    - powerups! maybe parachuted from the allies on the field. Additional time, temporary speed increase...

    -post-game statistics (how many soldiers passed for each type, how many soldiers killed for each type, longest run, shortest run)

    -funny audio one-liners from the enemies ("Who's there?" "Woof!" - from the dog )

    -a map with multiple checkpoints (take dynamite - make something explode - escape). Each reached checkpoint could have his time extension.

    when you start to draw the line of a soldier its circle has another circle move inside it to indicate which one to go to. I had this problem at first but then noticed the above :)

    You are right, I noticed the smaller circles, but for some reason i thought they appeared when the path was finished. It's very useful, indeed - and I got suddenly better, passed from 17 to 106 :D

    Just woke up!
    Suggestions:
    Music
    Fast-forward
    Restart button in the pause menu
    More maps (At least 4 if you want to compete with the other line-drawing games)

    I don't really understand the need for fast-forward in this game. I'm pretty much busy from the start to the end. It could be a good idea if they decide to make it start easier than now.

    we have 4 maps already designed, just need to put them there, also music will be there. Restart is actually good idea.
    And we are thinking about those Power-ups
