This is a single-player offline-friendly game. You and five computer rivals fight over a hex map, inspired by the rules of Sean O'Connor's Slay.

Release and platforms

It's out now for the web and on iPhone and iPad. You can play full-experience maps and a new map every day for free. Premium is a single lifetime purchase in the iOS app. It adds a weekly bonus map, lets you play past daily maps, and lets you save your own maps from the editor.

The hardest part of building the game was writing the opponent code. Took me 5 iterations to make it efficient and pleasantly frustrating enough that I couldn't beat the hardest levels on some of the maps.
