So game #18 pokes at commanding an army with cards, waves and stages instead of twitchy real time. link in bio11 Oct 2026 17:00 +0000at://did:plc:u6sua67mwa4367wwm5e2o7rp/app.bsky.feed.post/3mxmi5ajk4kgfhttps://bsky.app/profile/natdelnova.itch.io/post/3mxjxo5yxfsnxI spent most of game #17 getting the tutorial right. My wife isn't a gamer, and watching her try to rotate a piece showed me I had to just say it in text.

You can choose from mismatched pixel sizes, zero variation, or rotated pixels. Here are the three approaches, each with something new to tolerate.
