Oh wow, thank you for your kind words! It's still a game I open every now and then when I have some time to kill listening to podcasts.
Totally agree with your points, if I remember correctly I even made an attempt to clean generated maps from really unfair placements, but I guess it could use more work.
As for the slowdown ability suggestion – I was also thinking in a similar direction, but didn't quite have time to experiment with it. If I ever get back to working on the project I'll keep your suggestion in mind!
Thank you for playing and leaving a message, it really made my day!
