READ THIS FOR THE RULES!
This is not an orignial idea. Idea from:
Three Hundred : Mechanic #041
http://www.squidi.net/three/entry.php?id=41
This is a multiplayer tactics game. There is no AI. There is no network multiplayer. That's out of scope :(
Pieces:
1. King - sphere. Protect this.
2. Mage - tall & thin. Can flip tiles.
3. Soldier - big. Plain pieces.
Rules:
1. You lose when your King dies.
2. A piece dies if it is outnumbered - the number of neighbor (8-cell neighbors) enemies is one greater than the number of neighbor allies. [enemies > allies + 1]
Movement:
1. The King can move one tile in four directions per turn.
2. Others can move one tile in 8 directions per turn.
To flip tiles, select the Mage, then click the tile it is on.
To deselect, click some other tile.
Sorry for the lack of polish. This was the 2nd attempt at making a game. I wasted about 2/3 of the time trying to implement the other idea I had. haha. this was more of a prototype

Yeah. Sorry for the lack of polish. This was the 2nd attempt at making a game. I wasted about 2/3 of the time trying to implement the other idea I had. haha.
Really cool idea, and fairly well executed in the given timeframe. Even though the idea in theory isn't yours, I could see you taking it somewhere new and making something really unique!
A rather nice game! It felt a bit confusing at first and the camera was a bit awkard but aside from that, a fun game.
You found a nice concept! Nice interpretation of the theme!
I like this idea, although I wish there was some form of AI, even if it's rudimentary and makes random moves. Still, nice execution.
The game idea is good. I like the board flip effect after blue/red takes their turn.
New idea. But you can feel that you didn't spend that much time with this attempt.
Idea is nice, however it doesn't really feel balanced yet. But that might be a lack of tactics.
Really neat idea, although the way to move tiles isn't very clear. If I click on a tile it doesn't select the piece I want to move.
Are you on Firefox? There's something about Firefox about clicking
@Gamepopper That was a bug in Firefox. Click event attributes were incorrect. It is now fixed.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.
MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Overall rather nice.
Only thing I'd say is to have a method for deselecting the mage and for instantly flipping the table over. The click-drag feature is bothersome and gives you really weird angles.
