Awesome improvements from last time!! the tutorial is great, things are much much clearer. I hope the video feedback is useful and I hope you continue making this, cheers mate
Thank you very, very much for the kind words as well as the video review!
I am beginning to think that my game may be harder for people than I initially thought, especially for people that do not play games similar to this one often (as you mentioned in the video review for DD39, you don't play these types of games as I understood it). Even prettysober, who is somewhat of an expert in playing a wide variety of games, found the game challenging (which I found was good, though it may be too challenging - there ought to be a (much) greater variety of levels regarding difficulty, such that people can learn, play around and improve and take on greater challenges at their own pace). What makes it harder is that it is in some ways like an action-puzzle - the tactical/puzzle part can be challenging, and then handling and figuring out the tactics/puzzle part while action is going on only makes things harder. Being able to pause and inspect the battlefield at any point in time should help with this, though that does take more real-life time for the player and is not something that players (including myself) is used to be able to do in games with action elements (it also consumes time during a review, which discourages doing it as well). For puzzle-games, there are typically video or text walk-throughs made by the authors of the game for each level; given that this game both has somewhat complex action and also tactics/puzzle elements in it, it is in some ways more difficult than regular puzzle-games, and thus it might be a good idea for me to publish walk-through videos for each level.
Also, thank you for the very kind words on the tutorial and the improvements I made (your video was really, really helpful for improving it, thank you very much again 😃 ), though there is definitely still a lot of room for improvement.
Edit: Also, some features and functionality that would make the game easier to learn and play are still being developed, which makes the game even harder than it should be, triply so for people that don't usually play games similar to this one.
