The game isn’t bad, it’s well programmed, no ads, nothing is “wrong” or “bad”. The AI is just, a bit too good, haha. I feel like the AI is very, very good at taking advantage of any opportunities it can. Eg. As soon as it has enough units to take my point, it attacks, and because the default order is to send All units to the selected destination this happens a lot. It’s surprisingly difficult to maintain even seemingly simple defenses. I’m not quite sure what changes would make this game better, but it was worth trying, and I’ve tried other games from this developer and they seem quite competent.

Thanks for the feedback.

Second Update: I finally yanked it around level 350 because I got sick of losing due to a twitchy interface made for tiny fingers. A good basic concept. I hope someone remakes it with an eye towards good UI design.

Update: I've played up to level 316 because I basically like the game. But it's UI is badly coded in one very aggravating way that keeps making me quit. The gray background slips around if you accidentally touch it while trying to touch-adjust one of the circles. It's simple enough to change how the grey background picks up touch gestures. Yes, a two finger pinch should adjust its size, as it does. But there is no game play reason for the background to respond to a single touch gesture by slipping around on screen, wrecking a round of this fast paced game. So this is either a coding error, or an attempt to make the game feel highly fragile, and hostile to larger fingers. Original: I have played through 160 levels, and have found the bad interface the hardest part of the game. The background slides under your finger unless you hit the tiny targets precisely. Over half the time, this is what loses the game. So, while it begins as an interesting puzzle-game, from level to level, ultimately I just want to toss it because of its aggravating UI design. I like the basic concept, but I've never played a game so openly hostile to the wrong sized fingers.

Thanks for the feedback. Please check out game options, you can enable 'lock button' there. This button allows you to prevent the camera from moving around when you drag your finger across the screen. 

Why it's done this way: This is just a standard solution, and it works the same way in most applications. For example, moving the camera in apple maps works the same way. The game allows you to zoom in and out of the camera, so the planets are too small, then you can zoom in the camera and then hit the planets with your finger will be much easier ;)

This game is one of my go-to choices. The strategy is a bit hard to grasp at first, but once you realize the patterns the AI follows, most levels are easy to win first try. There’s still occasional difficult ones, so the campaign remains interesting. I’ve completed it on my phone and separately on my tablet, although there are many levels. I do wish it kept a tally of how many skirmishes I’ve won and lost since then, but the game still deserves 5 stars. I think most of the negative reviews are from people who gave up early on. Just keep trying and I bet you’ll figure it out and love the game as well

Thanks for the good review. Please also check out my newest game 'Drevepsina', maybe you'll like it too ;)
