I kind of figured out how to play it properly and it's an alright game. It's not really clear how the hexes change until you've messed around with it for a bit, and even after it's still a little frustrating to get the pieces in order without running out of turns. My main issue with the game, however, is the sprites. There's something off about them -- like, [i]really off[/i]. I don't see how these [img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/flightrising/images/0/05/Light_Sprite.png[/img] [img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/flightrising/images/6/6b/Shadow_Sprite.png[/img] become these [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/layout/glimmer_and_gloom/sprite-light-3.png[/img] [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/layout/glimmer_and_gloom/sprite-shadow-3.png[/img] but hey, maybe it was a new artist/promoted artist? It's not a big issue, and if it's a new artist drawing the sprites then that's awesome! But it'll take some time for me to get past it.

How do you lock and KEEP territory so it doesn't change like ughh

even though it is adorably cute

it's great to get a new game, but the payout is so bad that I can't see myself playing it more in the future... :/

[/quote] There actually is strategy involved - once you pick up on solvable patterns, it's easy to see where to go. There's some good posts about tips for easy mode on tumblr, located [url=http://az-aviator.tumblr.com/post/175580061390/glimmer-and-gloom-tips-masterpost]here[/url]. ETA: Also you can't 'lock' territory to keep it; every time you click, you will change that tile and all the tiles around it.
