0.4a linux fails to launch for me.
$ java -jar ./petals.jar ... Caused by: org.lwjgl.LWJGLException: No modes available ...
0.4a win ran fine under wine on linux.
I did notice a reproducible crash.
- play a campaign level other than level 1 (starting the level and exiting seemed sufficient)
- attempt to play campaign level 1
- game crashes immediately without launching the map for level 1
The game was very fun to play.
By the end of the campaign levels I was almost exclusively building archers. 4+ archers were cost effective, quick to get to in the tech tree, and didn't need much healing. Larger swarms of archers were apocalyptic for the bot. I'm not entirely sure how much of a difference having sowers running around with the archers building platforms for the archers affected anything, but it was fun and the ability to build the platforms in one turn made it easy to keep the momentum going.
Didn't really get much chance to play around with the higher parts of the tech tree, but looking forward to revisiting it in a future release.
