while there were a few bugs (artillery w/o visible health bars, the bottom row of the grid sending units all the way up (which might push the sprite of enemy units, making them untouchable), being able to create omega units (units stacked on each other all on 1 tile) by abusing the grid movement system, being able to move diagonally (very finicky tho), I generally enjoyed the game
if u do work on this more, i hope u lean more into the countryball side of things (like having the units be countryballs (whether they wear helmets to indicate infantry, sit in a tank, etc.)) and some more polish on the art (e.g. have the stripes of the US curve around the ball to give it a more 3d look; I'm sure u can find the full speel on r/polandball or something, but i do understand that the art was probably rushed for time's sake); clearer indicator of what keys do what (+ having pause button show pause and play and making the dialogue arrow clickable), arrows pointing to where units will move, being able to cancel unit movement, and one thing that would be nice to have is the ability to take 2 low-health units and consolidate them into 1 better-health unit
also also a visual indicator of where artillery can hit (+ in the 3rd battle, the top left US truck is in the artillery hit zone, so it drains as soon as time starts)
also enjoyed the map indicator of location (reminds me of the Oregon Trail)
also also a tip as someone who made a game w/ balls just one jam before this, i would recommend adding tags like "countryball" and "polandball" to make it easier for people interested in that kind of thing to find it

Honestly, I really appreciate your comment. I honestly feel quite disappointed, and to be frank, embarrassed, about the final game. But hearing some genuine constructive feedback makes me feel a bit better.
It's kinda weird, but your comment does make me want to turn this terrible game into something decent.
So, thank you, your comment really means a lot to me. :)
Also, its late as I'm writing this, but your game looks really interesting and I'm looking forward to playing it.
