Testers needed for free version of Splatics

[Splatics]

Please download Splatics Unbound and let me know what is good and bad about the game. Is it too hard to understand? Graphics great or suck? Does the music want to make you want to play it or throw up? Any feedback on how fun this game is and suggestions on how to make it easier to understand would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

What can I do to get people to give me feedback? The game is already free. I will give promotion codes to the full version when it comes out! I just need to know if people like it, if you don't like it, why you are turned off from the game if you don't like it. Or maybe you only saw the icon and screen shots and didn't like those? The music was bad? Did you understand it?
Any feedback would be great! I will be forever in your debt!

No need to be in debt, here is some feedback free of charge.

Basically I don't get it. The game idea, I mean. Two players have to splat color onto a hex field and who colors the most field wins, right?

The description in the store was something I would usually look at and then move on. The first line (the visible one, before the ...More) did not create interest and only because it is Sunday evening and I was bored I downloaded the game.

In the game the music can't be turned off. The music is not bad as such, but after awhile I wanted to concentrate and the game did not let me turn it down or off. I am missing a nice and friendly "Options" button somewhere.

The menu button feels like non responsive and it gets overridden by the tutorial. The tutorial texts are a bit complicated and I had to read then a few times to grasp the idea. (But then again I am not a native English speaker). When restarting the game the tutorial restarts, too.

The graphics is nice, I like the render of the game name. You web site does show your email address, but you might want to consider a feedback form. So that a visitor can leave feedback right from the page and don't have to open their email program.

Just my $2c.

Thank you so much for your input! I will add an easy way to turn the music on and off in the menu. I agree there are a couple of tutorial texts that are complicated and I've been trying to figure out a way to make them simpler and still get the correct information across. I will also rework the first paragraph of the description and explain more of the game. The form on my website is a great idea once I figure out how to do that.

The point of the game is slightly different depending on what mode you are in. In Challenge mode your goal is to color all the blank (gray) hexagons and make them all completely your color with the given number of paint tools.
Battle mode is two player and your goal is to color all the hexagons on the board your color before the other player does.

Thanks again for your feedback!
