I can't click that point? I'm gonna restart the level. EDIT: Nope, restarted the level, but still stuck. I placed the mines but the game still says I need to place the mines. Can't progress.. It's the second level.

Really sorry about it. Will update the community asap gmattergames Well-Known Member Mar 1, 2013 606 38 28 #9 gmattergames, Mar 19, 2015 Looks like Frozen Front, which I thought was very promising, but the "free" play seemed to end too quickly, is the same approach applied here? Either way, I'll give it a go, once the tutorial is fixed. HG VAMPIRE Well-Known Member Jul 11, 2013 300 103 43 #10 HG VAMPIRE, Mar 19, 2015 Hi gmattergames - I played thru the whole game Frozen Front and Pacific Front without spending a dime. Just dont rush in the game and play strategic. The tutorial bug is fixed and we uploaded an "urgent hotfix" to apple which hopefully will be live later today. Hope the QA at Apple is not too busy. Really sorry about the stupid bug. If you know the game you can already jump straight to the first missions of the game over the menu. HG VAMPIRE Well-Known Member Jul 11, 2013 300 103 43 #11 HG VAMPIRE, Mar 19, 2015 Fabianb if you want you can play straight further and skip the tutorial in the moment.

Game itself has all the trappings of a solid wargame: diverse unit types, supply/repair, concealment, indirect fire, fortified positions, etc. So far, game play is as good,as it gets, and while the missions and enemy placements are scripted, AI seems solid. I now recall the things about Frozen Front that turned me off. While their mostly minor announces, with so many title vying for my attention and hard drive space, anything negative puts a game at risk of being quickly deleted. With that said, my biggest turn off is unit image orientation. While the game boasts some of the best pixel art found in a wargame, it's aesthetic appeal is lost as unit images are static, with their orientation locked on a south east heading. I don't understand why, at minimum, unit images are not mirrored horizontally when moving along east-west headings. Doing so, would better leverage the great art. Again, I know this is superficial, but it's hard to feel immersed when my tanks headed west but firing on enemies to west, muzzle flashes coming out their rear and planes are taking off and flying backwards. Fortunately, naval units do change heading and can rotate on all 6 hex axis, but only because they occupy multiple hexes. While there is no tactical need to rotate ground units (not in this game anyway), by simply mirroring the existing images, units could, at least show their last east-west heading. Even better, by simply adding one additional image each, units could be displayed facing 4/6 direction. One other minor annoyance was the pace of the tutorial. It's well done and provides critical info, but it's painfully slow. With no option for the user to pace the instructions, even though I wanted to learn everything, the lumbering pace made me want to end it early. Otherwise, the presence of IAP's is detracting. While I have no issue paying for a devs hard work, I'd rather pay $4.99 upfront for a balanced ad-free game. I suspect the game can be played without IAP, but that's not the issue. In this game, currency is used to purchase and supply units, which is fine, but I'm less inclined to purchase currency if the units procured and maintained with it aren't carried over to susequent missions.

But I agree with gmatter wholeheartedly, remove iap, charge a flat fee and the game would be awesome. Or even a mini campaign for free so buyers could see if they like, then an unlock rest of game fee or per campaign. As is, you wouldn't make any money from me because I don't buy consumables, nor do I remove ads in a game that still requires the possibility of needing consumables. I realise I'm probably in the minority but that's just my feedback for what it's worth. All the best with your game.

Go ahead, make it free... I will not download. Nope... no way. I'm in the Slitherine camp... I'll pay $10 for it. MY opinion is that this genre is not for the free to play crowd. I will not pay for consumables. Nope. Sounds like a great game you all got here. Saw it and got excited, and then I saw free... I hoped it was maybe free with an in-game unlock... Then I read from our members that I'd have to pay for consumables. Stupid. I won't even try it. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
