This was old news but I'd thought I'd put it up. We won the $250 weekly contest at Kongregate. Judge is still out on the $1500 monthly big prize, it was close. Check out our new awards page.

Just a little bug where the menu doesn't show write on Mac Safari was fixed. Note to developers: NEVER use the horizontal letter spacing in Flash, the whole text doesn't show up in Safari.

UPDATE: It's all moved over but there was some serious DNS issues that should also clear up in a few days!
Because of crappy server issues I moved providers and trying a new one, it looks like it's going to work out. Should be fully moved in a few days. Thanks!

A few more smaller bugs fixed:
1) Triple click fast on last unit ends 1P game
2) 1P/CPU tags on board were messed up
3) You can now retry 1P levels without penalty
4) CPU turn sped up by double

I finally solved the biggest bug that I could not find in months. Its a bug that causes units to disappear suddenly (caused by choosing a bad depth). Hopefully this fixes it. Special thanks to Lars!

It finally went down, it seems like it's the host provider, no ETA when it will be back up. Thanks!
9PM Pacific Time - Ok I chatted the server guys and it's back up. If it happens again I will change to another service provider.

Loads of evil bugs were killed tonite. Here are just a few:
1) Trying to make a private game then calling you a cheater fixed!
2) Double counting wins and losses fixed.
3) Choosing bottom of the board, caused all kinds of bugs
4) Single player retry button at last level wasn't grayed
5) Private button wasn't disabled when other windows popped up
6) Some sync errors were probably fixed from something above!?

It's been a long while since I updated this game, I was creating an entire Java server from scratch. I like doing things on my own so I didn't use the popular Smartfox Server or Electroserver. A couple of most requested changes are here. Please use this blog to give me more suggestions to make the game better.
Live scoring system: X/X/X = Win/Loss/Disconnect
1) Disconnect penalty for disconnectors! After 1st round only.
2) Pick top or bottom of board, the other player won't notice (big change!)
3) Easier private game, just type their name in the box
4) First turn improved, person with lower score goes first, or if same score, first to login
5) More cheater protection, cheaters will be banned
6) Fixed disappearing units (caused by too many units on X center, still unsure if fixed)
7) Added another page of HELP describing live record rules.
8) Disconnects are counted, you have till round 2 to DC without penalty
9) Timeouts fixed, lagger will DC first
10) Rematches limit to 3 to prevent cheating, fixed some rematch bugs
11) Fixed pass healing of dead units, weird!
12) Fixed hi/low modifier on chained damage.
13) Fixed small start match bug, where you have to reload
