Hi All,

I've had the demo for Block Strategy here and on steam for the past few weeks but haven't received any feedback. I'd love to get some thoughts from someone. I'm looking for general feedback and impressions of the game.  The demo can be found here.

The game is a singleplayer RTS with roguelite elements. It has a limit on the number of units you can have as the idea is to upgrade and specialise these units.

There is a tutorial, but as it takes around 10 minutes I've given the option to skip it if you want to get right into the action. If you do, then just know that the objective is to build a base to defend against waves of enemies and the best way to do this is by going out into the world and fighting bosses.

I guess more specific questions I'd like to know the answer to are:

• Is the game fun?
• Was the tutorial/ onboarding appropriate? 
  • if you skipped the tutorial then did you get lost or did you enjoy being thrown in at the deep end?
• How was the performance?
• Was it clear what to do?
• Would you buy this game? If not why not?

Such a fun game - So simple, but with a deeper level of complexity if you start considering 1. your opponents moves and 2. what side up the dice will end up on when you've finished your move. The level of polish is also unreal for a gamejam game.

Ahh so that's how you do it - I was searching the game files for a platformsettings.txt and didn't find anything, so I thought checking the game directory was a mistake. Maybe adding an existing file with moving set to false would be better? Or state that the file is "missing" in the game? Great game (and video)  btw especially for a solo developer in a week.
