I played through a dummy game for about 20 minutes.

This seems like it will be a lot of fun. My suggestion: Make basic info (attack,movement, etc) about the brawlers viewable without clicking. There's too much clicking as a new player because I don't know what anything does.

I don't agree. I prefer to work and be alone.

If I take your meaning correctly, you do agree! You also would prefer to work with the same set of people you want to hang out with. It's just in your case that set is empty in both instances.

Both sets are non-empty.

Tip to others trying the game: Play multiple games at once. Start a game, then open the menu on the left, click Start Game, and begin another. I've found some players are quite unresponsive and having a few on the go keeps it interesting. You get notified when it is your turn in each game. Enjoyed my first foray into this game, nice work guys :)

Feedback:

- As someone else said the 'End Turn' button should disappear or be more heavily disabled when it's not your turn. A more prominent alert at the top of the screen when the turn hands over would be nice too.

- Notifying of the turns you need to take is great when you have multiple games on the go and totally saved the experience for me. It would be even better if you could jump between games more quickly. Imagine a quick-jump menu on the right with all your active games in it.

- Music/Sound please! (I'm sure you're working on this!)

There's some pretty unpleasant stuff in the "Terms and Conditions". I didn't agree. * If you link to the site, you can only say nice things * You can't opt out of their emails * They say, "please refer to our privacy policy" but there isn't one (this might be an oversight or maybe I just missed it) [edit for formatting]

Valid feedback, not an excuse, but we drafted this with a lawyer ages ago and haven't had the funds to properly revise. That said - it's not an excuse, and I have nothing to say but we're sorry. It was an launch oversight.

We will look to revise this to get rid of the yucky stuff. Lawyers can't be that expensive :/

That said, you can opt out of all emails, and we obviously the link stuff is just dumb and not enforceable.

Apologies.

Thank you for the response. Is there any reason why you can't just take those clauses out?

You also say that you might change the terms at any time. Go ahead and change them. :-)

Valid point. I guess we don't really need lawyers to remove stuff, likely only to add them. We'll take them out this evening.

[EDIT: Terms have been updated. Thanks again for bringing this to our attention]
