Thank you for the feedback, it's really useful!
The UI is our current big effort in development, and it's getting some nice updates soon 😁
We decided to have a list of options for round time to make it easier to start playing. From our testing, 30 seconds was the minimum for a good experience, and since we wanted to give a fast-paced and varied experience, we believe that 2m30s was enough.
We don't have a Discord server right now, as we're still trying to build our community! Once we see we have a good number of followers we'll do that :)
The QR code is for smartphone players to be able to join! As long as you're on the same network, you can read the QR code on your phone (with Google Lens, for example) and it will show you a webpage for a player controller 🎮 The tutorial will definitely help with these questions, we hope to get one ready soon. Give it a try if you can!
We're exploring a lot of things in this game, and AI bots are one of them! So you can have AI playerbots that behave as a real player would (some more aggressive, others more defensive...). But these are optional and can be used for smaller groups of people or single players. There are also the enemies, like the squids and cart enemies, which are there to make the game more challenging (and chaotic!).
We're happy to hear that the game and our page look good! We're going to keep working on this game for some bigger releases and one day add a price to it when we're ready.
Keep following our updates, and we'd love to get your thoughts in the future too!
