Other reviews are right--hard & bad UI – Battle Slugs Review

I'm like the others who think this very hard from the very first board. It is anything but "Easy" as the screen claims, which seems a bit of unnecessary taunting by the authors. It also seems as though you are guaranteed to lose if you lose the coin toss, which seems a bit unfair. Meanwhile, the graphics get in the way....this is a lot like Othello and I'd really prefer just simple black and white circles to illustrate my pieces vs. the enemy. I do not need ugly slugs and flashy transitions distracting me from the strategy. It looks like the authors spend a lot of time designing new graphics that I would like an option to turn off. If anyone knows a similar game without all the UI gunk in the way, please post about it, thanks!
