itch.io

Haven't bought the game or played, but watched the video and it looks awesome. love the concept and implementing typing from user to control the game. Super awesome!

I've had a play of NETWAR through your itch.io link and had a lot of fun playing your game.

The first thing that struck me was how the UI was so nicely designed. You have a really nice colour scheme that compliments the aesthetics of the game and everything is clear and easy to read, great work there!

I noticed when I increased the game speed through the bottom left icon, that the top right gear/settings icon took layer priority over the game speed icon, so I couldn't see what setting I was on. If the game speed icon was shifted to the left that would be visible and nice to see.

A tutorial would be really nice and helpful, especially to teach complete novices the ropes as there is a lot happening within the game. Maybe a helpful guide that could show you how to get started, where to click, which settlements to attack and how the basics work. Once I experimented with the gameplay and figured certain mechanics out, it was really engaging and a fun experience.

One other thing I noticed was the upgrade/building panel. If I had the currency to purchase things, I would place those on the different cities, but afterwards when my currency was depleted the icon didn't change, and to change it I had to click on one of the speed icons to switch it. Maybe switching the cursor to the standard icon after currency is depleted it may be more intuitive?

Overall, this was a great game and felt like a different approach and breathe of fresh air to the RTS genre. Quite a unique gem of a game. Great work, look forward to seeing more as development continues to expand the game.

Lovely graphics and beautiful music. Great game!
