Trust me everything you mentioned was our dilemma during the jam :D lot of these choices were made to make the 2 weeks deadline. Topdown, "turnbased" (Helps alot against ping and EU vs NA players etc) so we simply assumed and forced people on a delay and try to make it work.
Game is not perfect and lacks some things we wished we could add but overall love all these responses makes our team happy! In the last 30mins before deadline we changed 4 seconds for one move towards 1.5 second for one move ... been a crazy ride!
