Very interesting game somewhat reminds me of chess. It has great potential and I wouldn't mind seeing more of this. Keep up the good work. I think some type of effect should be added for the heart to give some leverage because I found a way to basically gridlock an opponent to the point where they can't summon anything.

Great game! First I didn't know there was a tutorial so I started playing and get pwnd immediately lol

Tutorial should be more obvious to new players. It's currently under "extra", a chapter people only check after a while, not immediately.

Hilarious that some people are complaining that its too complex...lol don't play it?

I loved that it was complex and took me more than 5 minutes to figure out how to win. It's a shame you're getting all those negative reviews following that one person saying it doesn't work. I started reading the comments when the timer hit zero, and guess what? You responded to that exact issue:
"Part of this is because flash actionscript is slow and there's just a lot of "thinking" it needs to do (there are more options in Deus Shift than in Chess every turn!)"

mine wound up taking about 90 secs maybe a little more. Anyway I hope the game doesn't stop evolving, I can definitely see a larger map in my minds eye...more units, etc. Can't wait for the next version thats even more complex :D

Its decent when it works and when it does the game is deep and very addictive. Its definately different from most games and it does stand out. It does not lag me a whole lot but it would randomly freeze for me. Its got great potential. Put more work into it and this would be a possible fav.
