This is interesting. Think of it like a game of pool. If you fail to knock out your opponent's checker, or knock your own out, your opponent gets a turn. Mentioning that in the instructions would make it a bit clearer at the start.
Very nice game. I play a level per day to keep it from getting too repetitive for me. hmaishfox: you can organize your skills by going to options during a game, and selecting skill setup.
Valkyrie, you select a weapon by clicking on it on the buy screen. I personally thought 40 days was a bit long, I'd probably have stopped at 30 myself. Beefy is cute. :)
