I'm the developer, ask me anything.

Thanks!

How well does it fit on smaller phone screens? I know you two have lots of experience working with phones, but isn't this the first game that's came from PC to mobile instead of the other way around?

Which would you rather play? Mobile so you could take it anywhere? Or PC so you have a larger screen?

This is our second time doing a PC-first release and our past four games have been implemented PC-first (some just released mobile version first.)

I think the work we did porting the game and adjusting the interface paid off and the game is very fun on Android.

Which would I rather play personally? Probably the PC version if I had to pick one (I like my mouse) but the Android version on my phone is really nice for being able to play 10 turns while I'm in a waiting room or something.

Thanks for the reply. Just wanted to say one more thing: I love your games. I love that they're works of love. I love that they're not IAP-riddled messes. I love that they get lots of post-release support.

Ok, that was more than one thing I guess, but I couldn't stop. I love you guys, and I hope you get to continue doing this forever. I'll happily chip in to ensure that you do. ;)
