edit: finally beat all puzzles. 5 stars really enjoy the game. I keep coming back to it. There's just something unique to it that keeps me interested. I had to take off a star for a couple non deal breaker reasons. First, sometimes when starting a new game, the game freezes. Closing and reopening the app fixes it. Second, after completing conquests the game play flattens out. Third, the puzzles, which are the best secondary game play imo, become impossible fairly quickly.

Fun and interesting game. If you like board games, this is one of the only ones I've found to scratch that itch when playing solo. That being said,after playing some of the campaign, I keep losing progress everytime I close the application. It's likely some sort of bug, but I've had to replay completed levels multiple times, which, while fun initially, got very tedious after the 8th or so time. I would highly recommend this game if it weren't for this issue.

Thank you for the kind words and for flagging this! We recently updated the game to address saving issues, so we'd love to know if this is still happening on the latest version. If it is, please reach out at support@shortcircuitstudio.com or via our Discord so we can investigate further.

This is definitely a bait and switch product. There is only the option to play a long tutorial mode, and a couple of side games, the campaign and all other main features advertised on the store page are behind an 8$ pay wall. This just feels like it's set up to trick people or guilt parents into buying this game and that's not right. for that money I don't see why someone wouldn't just play a console game or generally expect a lot more than this game.

Sorry you feel that way. The free version is intended to let players try the tutorial and additional modes before deciding whether the full game is for them, but we understand that structure won’t appeal to everyone. We hope you find something that’s a better fit for you soon!
