Patching the "last" (famous last words) major game design flaw in Save the Forest, the cheesy "heal fully before moving on"-strategy.
Now healers can only heal damage accrued in the last 2 turns, so healers should hopefully feel more dynamic and less cheesy!

A public demo of the banned 1995 CD-ROM ‘Forbidden Solitaire’ is being leaked TOMORROW on #Steam.
Authorities advise gamers to exercise extreme caution. Campaign groups, such as ‘Justice for Timmy,’ go further: urging players to delete all traces of the software if they are tempted to install it.

The Save the Forest playtest is running for another week (ending at Christmas!)
One interesting thing has been that the difficulty was way too high at the start. Gradually lowered it and now I think it's at a good level for first timers!

This is the engineer and her cannons. They can fire on their own but she likes to think they fire just a bit better when she's around.
