Fantastic game. So much fast paced strategy in such a simple ruleset and gameplay is very hard to create. Yet the variation is astonishing. it’s really a heck of an app, and actually the only one I’ve bought. ^^

Would love to get some tips on making such this kinds of games. Got alot of ideas and is about to go to a game design uneversity. so hopfully i’ll be able to create some of them.

Thanks for a Great Game!

OK – seems that the key is to make sure your Wi-Fi is on. With Wi-Fi I don’t have any problems connecting – over 3G it’s touch and go.

Still doesn’t seem to work for me. It goes to the page that says “Attempting to join server. If you are joining a local game, it may take several retries to connect.” and then kicks me back to the main multi-player page where it says “error fetching list”.

I noticed today that the list was getting a bit slow .. so I just upgraded my web host to a much better package. Please tell me if this fixes the list problem.

Thanks for the review!

I tried this game out for the multi-payer functionality that you recommended, but in my opinion the fact that there is no way to register from the game is a killer. Forcing players to either launch a safari window or register from their computer is a major pain. Would be MUCH better if they could figure out a way to do everything from within the application.
