I've been playing this game since beta, and its only gotten better since. The idea of the game is original, easy to learn, but the strategy is actually very dense. The developers are always extremely responsive to the awesome community, and that helps the game grow very well. Couldn't reccomend the game any more, and I hope it only continues to get better.

App on discord won't let me add friends to play, as our activity doesn't show up. I've installed the app, and when I click on an invite, it takes me to the app store and asks me to play, which the app then opens with no invite info. what a waste of an hour. this game had promise, whatever you changed in the last few days, your code has serious regression.

Apologies for the frustration! The game being cross-platform is tricky with many authentication / social systems interconnecting. I am limited by word counts here so please email me at brandon@gangbusters.io or find me on our discord bug/support channel and I'll look into it. Thanks!

Thanks for the note! You can already find both in the game actually. You can turn on the option to play draft battles after you click on the main Battle button (toggle below the Normal mode). To create your own fleet, click on Change Fleet, then Custom Fleet to set up your own fleets. Thanks for playing!
