Brilliant! Our group was deciding between a turtle game and a lighthouse game. We were like, "yeah, but if we do a save the turtles game, how will we control all the turtles at once?" WELL YOU FIGURED OUT THE ANSWER. And you made it damn fun. And the art was splended. I appreciate that you put in the time to give the player a lot of access to visual information about the game, it made this a real strategy game.
The difficulty also ramps up with great pacing and I felt able to teach myself how to play and sit at the right level of challenging. Really splendid work :)
