I had an almost complete team, but it kept automatically dragging into the dev team conference to give me pointers. All I seemed to be able to do was move south, where people would arrive and talk and I would automatically go back into the dev team thing. It was interesting for a bit watching the advice change as the dev team I had got mad at each other and then made up and then got mad, but I didn't seem to be able to do anything and the day didn't seem to be ending, so I quit.

Anyway, 2D physics, bot movement, pixel art, chiptune music and micropayments coupled with viral marketing - what's not to like!

I would play anything with a good chiptune soundtrack, though. Even Reset Generation, which was interesting and brave, but ultimately not for me. Strategy + insane amounts of randomisation =/= strategy. I would play that game.

It's a fun game, though.

There’s two parts – the infection of ideas to one another, the creation of a social web and desperately trying to get a development team together.

Isn’t that three parts?
