SkyShard: City Battler

Great Game! Lot's of strategies to explore and I still feel like I find new things to try almost every run. Would love to have a way to replay runs or at least battles :)

Enjoying this game, though I have a few critques, 1. I feel there needs to be more information on combat example is when your entire defence line gets deleted in a second, wish there was more information on what killed everything as it is hard to reogranize when you are not sure what went wrong or how the opponent created their setup. Possibly a battle log of all the interactions? 2. The rating system needs a change, scoring rating only on how may battles you won sounds good in practice but very punishing if you lose alot of rounds at the start, you could finish with a superb comp that lead into the late rounds but still lose rating. Once you know you are getting to that point you aren't incentive to keep playing it's just damage control which is no fun. I feel with changes to those things can make this from a good game into a great game!

Surprisingly addictive.

First off just wanna say I'm a big Regis fan and if I can support the cause, i will do my best. Its definitely a fun little game for sure and i have a few notes on how to possibly improve it in some way. 1. The Zapzap character. I don't really like the name, it sounds like it should be the name of a tinkerer faction hero instead if you were to make one in the future. The description is kind of cheeky ill admit but i feel like its kind of a let down, i mean surely their is some cool backstory that you could come up with connects him to the nature faction instead of ...well Frog. 2. The Heroes in General don't really feel that good. They don't have much that makes them unique or special in any real way. I know its somewhat difficult because you want to the player to try and use different faction items and not be stuck with one even though that can be valid strat. It could be possible to give them slight buffs towards their associated faction as well as the starting quests, nothing crazy but something meaningful that would make them feel like using their items feels better than a random faction items...but no too much as to have them only seek out their faction items. Perhaps have multiple quests through out the game that become increasingly difficult but have better rewards or both, maybe even each hero gets a unique building .its going to take careful balancing regardless. 3. Conceding at the hero select screen and losing the full 30 rating is pretty cold blooded. perhaps only have the penalties kick in when you actually start a game. 4. The screen that you can summon that tells you stats of your buildings after a fight needs some work. When you have the menu up, have it to where you can click on an item and the camera will zoom in on it automatically for easy locating. Sometimes its really hard to find a single tile building in a full map when it is barley highlighted green, especially when its already green. 5. Magnifying glass seems kind of useless when you can very easily zoom in with the mouse and move the camera around plus that other option basically does the same thing as well as show the grid. 6. The zoom on items in the shops. Depending on if you have 1, 3, or 6 items, make it to where the fewer items their are the more zoomed in the camera is. Some of those items are tiny and i don't want to have to manually zoom in when there is SO much unused space. I know you want to show the size difference of items but it seems a little too zoomed out sometimes. perhaps zoom in a bit and possibly put a translucent grid behind the item that doesn't take away from the picture but more easily shows the exact grid size it takes up without having to click on the item and read the little description telling you how big it is 7. After the fight concludes there needs to be an extra option that replays the fight that just happened, while still having the option to manipulate the game speed. 8. I dont really see the point of having their be a window to evaluate the opponents board before the fight. I cant move my board around so it is purely just to see what they have. I would just rather automatically start after the buildings summon withing a few seconds and then wait until After to see the How, When, Where, and WHY's instead of guessing and assuming beforehand Those are some of the bigger things that jumped out to me outside of obvious small bugs like pop up menus sticking to my mouse cursor. I am very proud of everything that you guys have accomplished so far and i will be eagerly awaiting more updates in the future.

Great cozy art style that has a lot of charm combined with a very satisfying gameplay loop that is fairly easy to get a basic understanding of but provides enough challenge to fully master. While this game often starts as a "Just one quick match between tasks" it often turns into a long session of trying just one more time for that perfect setup.

Love it, some QOL on building placement is necessary as there are many to manage (like why not include "square selection" to move multiple buildings at once ? ) this is a serious competitor to games like The Bazaar (which i play a lot a lot), but sadly low budget :D. gratz for this early access, and i'm not even a Regis fan.

Very fun game that is getting regular updates. A lot of depth which leads to a steep learning curve. Great art makes even weak runs fun.
