Really original!
It takes a bit of time to figure out, but it's a really fun little strategy game honestly
I was wondering, are there games lost from the start or are they always beatable? (decided by rng I mean)
Good job :)
I’m not sure and I’ve never really thought about it. In the web version, the fact that the AI only gets 1 tile to reverse combined with the first move advantage should give the player pretty good odds to be able to win every game.
I really like the game even if I don't understand it (yet) completely. Still I don't understand how the animals decide their next step, sometimes I select a clearly better tile in front of them and they decide to go to another one. Maybe they make the decision based on the stats before you as player change the tile?
In any case it's a really refreshing different take of a strategy game, with a lot of potential to be extended as a proper longer game with levels and more effects. (And a tutorial please!)
For sure I'm gonna come back more often to play another round and learn a bit more. And I'm really interested to take a look to the source code to learn more how you build it!
The animals decide their next step based on the tile they currently stand on. So you may not want to reverse a tile even if it immediately gives a higher value if the future path doesn’t have good options.
Thanks for playing!
Nice little game, I enjoyed the theme with the animals.
Once I understood the rules I saw that the game wasn't actually too difficult, but I felt some things could've been better explained in the game description, like the board wrapping, the active effect affecting the movement direction (mentioned but unclear in the description), the enemy player also being able to reverse (but only once?) after knowing what you did in your turn, etc.
The main mechanics are actually fairly pleasant, and there are some interesting ideas around them; but some parts of the design, when I imagine how one would go about turning the game into a real board game, could have been polished a bit more.
Yeh, I think it is cool game, but I cant understand it completely
This game could definitely do with a tutorial. The enemy only reversing 1 tile is an antifeature due to limitations on processing speed on webGL that I couldn’t fix in time.
Thanks for playing.
