I wasn’t able to successfully join a lobby and play the game! I like the idea of this online multiplayer experience, but it wasn’t working for me :/

Sadly either there’s something really wrong with game and it is not working as intended or there’s not enough players to test this game. That is sadly the reason why I cannot give this good ratings right now. I will try again later, but for now due to lack of players or just game not working properly I am giving quite low rating.

Creating a room seems to just create an empty room below button, which player has to join. After room is filled and ready to play game should start, but for me all I saw was white screen. Same goes for spectating others game.

Suggestions:

  • Add random entrance to random room (thus giving people chance to just enter game and play it)
  • Add some kind of AI/bot to play with players, so even if there’s nobody online to play people still could try the game
  • Clarify creating a room and joing a room
  • Fix other potential issues that are making it impossible to play.

THere’s not much games that are multiplayer, so I was really hoping to see this one work.
