There is a game breaking bug where if you capture the screen in a particular way the level becomes impossible to beat. If the area you need to capture to win is the only area left on the screen to capture, then you will be unable to capture it as the way the capturing works is you split the area and then the smaller of the areas you split becomes captured by you.

So if the area you need to capture to win is the only area on screen all you can ever do is capture a portion of that area, until you get suck in a tiny square that you cannot capture and the level becomes unbeatable. The game does not recognize this state as being an end game state as either a win or loss, it simply lets you hang out there until the time runs out and then (at least in the flash game) STILL nothing happens, the time just starts counting down into the negatives.

I guess no one thought to bug test that scenario? Anyways its a little broken just saying.

I just completed the game, and I didn't run in to that problem. Often I tried to capture every thing around the fort, and when just the fort was back, I would just split it.

Did you only play the flash version?

A little off-topic, how long did it take you to complete it?

Didn't happen to me, and I had quite small finishing areas so far...

Answer: Easy difficulty is 4 hours, so all in all with all 4 you may need... say 10 hours or so if you're good?

1.4 hours (but I still need around 5/22 perfect levels to be completely finished with easy).

Do the achievements, the different difficulties and finish all levels on perfect and you may take longer. ;)

This is not true. You do not actually have to get ALL the castle. If you capture ANY amount of it once there is only a little left, you will automatically finish.

I decided to buy it since it was cheap and gave it a test and ended finishing it in 11.9h on impossible getting perfects, although I am missing the 15 eggs achievement. The game was worth my money and the credits made me laugh :P but due to the marathon my wrist is complaining so I will have to let that achievement wait a couple days.

Hey devs, maybe let the user configure their keyboard controls so they use the setup they feel better with (physically).
