Earlier quoted context omitted.

I think thats also known as a genre

A genre containing only one game series from one company? :P

There are probably 100s of this style of game... and from many companies. I'm not exaggerating. Many before "advance wars", too.

Very cool approach and the demo! One minor critique is the color palette choice. As far as optometric tests go, I do not experience any color blindness, but I still struggled to comfortably distinguish between the violet and orange characters, and especially orange characters standing on orange backgrounds. I can clearly see them, it's just slightly uncomfortable for the eyes.

Firefox, Windows 11 on a fairly modern computer.

* I don't know what to do when all my units have played. Is there a next turn button ?

* The info/goal/next unit buttons are fixed to the page and doesn't feel linked to the game itself, making them easily confused for page navigation instead of game element.

* I have trouble distinguishing between the background and the active units. Perhaps make the background slightly more desaturated ?

* Disable the music by default. It's jarring to have it play directly.

* It's super impressive to have a game playable like that in the browser

This is the third time I’ve seen your beautiful game now. So I decided to pull the trigger and buy early access.

Unfortunately after filling out the stripe form on iOS Safari the pay button remained gray and I couldn’t checkout.

I actually experienced a variety of quirks on mobile while navigating that might require some investigating. Perhaps because it is optimized for Chrome?

Nice work! This reminds me of the "Advance Wars" game series on GBA.

Advance Wars is one of my favorite games of all time. Nakazawa Tech, the indie studio I founded, is aiming at recreating games that I loved playing as a kid, and building on top of them with twists and novel ideas.

Check out Wargroove if you like this sort of game

The whole thing scrolls in a very weird fashion. Despite only taking up around 1/6 of my screen it manages to scroll so that part of the map is hidden. The whole thing lacks instructions on how to play, along with rules. What units do what? What does the terrain do? How is damage calculated?
