Mini-OP because of time constraints! I highly recommend checking out this video where someone explains how to play the game:

This game is oooozing charme and is surprisingly polished. I love that you can "draw" the pixels on your robot faces and make them say something in between the rounds.

| Description |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can compare this to chess, or Frozen Synapse if you know that game. You are giving orders to your robots and then the actions of both players are being run in turns. Action 1 of player A, then Action 1 of player B, then action 2 of Player A, etcetc. The fun of this kind of game comes from the mind games you are having with your opponents. You can shoot, move, turn and throw bombs and your task is to correctly judge what your opponent might do to conduct the perfect counter attack. The game is not as deep as Frozen Synapse because there are less options and less "fine tuning" needed, but its still highly enjoyable, especially since its also more quicker to play. Biggest drawback: The game does not have that many players so far (since its still somewhat early in development) and really needs some more exposure to build up a decent community. But thats what this thread is for! Lets have some GAF matches!

| FAQ |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Will there be an iOS/Android/Linux version?
We want to port the game to as many platforms as possible, iOS is our first priority. We will have to wait and see if the game gets popular enough on Windows and Mac first though!
Is the game secure?
We use SSL for the connection between the client and the server. All passwords are encrypted before storage. We take security very seriously but can't guarantee anything in case of a malicious attack. Please be responsible and don't re-use your password.
Is there a fullscreen mode?
Yes, there is a little icon up in the left corner that toggles between windowed and fullscreen mode. The game requires a minimum resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels. On small monitors we recommend using the fullscreen mode to save vertical space.
When do I receive e-mail notifications?
If you have selected "receive notifications" in the settings menu you will get an e-mail in the following cases:
When someone challenges you
When someone is waiting for you to make your move (they have submitted one turn more than you)
When you haven't made a move in a game for a long time (2 days)
When you have lost a game because of not making a move in time (3 days after the reminder has been sent out)
You will never get e-mail notifications when you are logged into the game.
Why do my moves happen last?

Are you going to do Steam Green Light?
Thanks for asking! We will investigate possible platforms and sale channels more when we reach version 1.0
Dev comment:
Since I want to play this game a bit, give it a whirl! Its only $5 and the devs are still measuring the interest in this game to decide how they progress with it.

(let me know if you want to be added here or if I should take you out of the list)
I'd say that if we get a few guys together (8?) we'll start a tournament at some point next week since all of us will be somewhat new to this game.
