Edit : Screenshot could not attach - I reference a screenshot below. Opposing piece was directly in a corner, and I had it fully surrounded.
Hey,
I just had a play of the game, so happy to offer some feedback.
The "Copy" button on the "Statistics" page is not copying the statistics.
Please see the attached image below. I was fully expecting the corners to be valid captures so was surprised when they were not.
You can see from the image below that as I was losing, I decided to try and get multiple captures on the outermost rows to ramp back up my score. I was surprised to see that I ended up getting only something like 3 points total from this remaining setup. I kind of wonder if a multiplier should be applied based on free spaces remaining in a capture area as opposed to it only being one point regardless.
We used to play this game in primary school on lunch break with pen and paper. I would describe the fun I had here as moderate. I enjoyed the challenge but I am not immedaitely wanting to player another round. I will however play a few more games and feed back.
The visual style of making it look like pen and paper is quite nice, and suits the game, given a lot of people would have played this on pen and paper (as mentioned above).
I couldn't full screen the game, which I would have liked.
Capturing pieces feels slightly underwhelming, but thats easily changeable. I think having a bit more of a "pop" when an opposing piece is surrounded would be a quick and easy way to improve that.
Highlighting the last placement of the other player is a good indicator, so kudos on that.
I only played on normal difficulty, and thought the AI was just about right but I will feed back on this after more games.
The menu presentation could do with a bit of polish in future versions, particularly the page before starting a game where you set the settings, and also the "Back" button, the way its background appears on hover.
Its a cool game, albeit one Ive certainly played before elsewhere. I enjoyed it, and will play more to give you feedback, but not necessarily because I feel that strong desire to play more at this time. I can see the potential, so lets see if I get hooked later after a few more games.
