Thank you all for giving this game a try! ...I was never expecting this level of involvement. In just over 1 day there are more than 5x the downloads that our most popular game Hive had gotten. Here's the first batch of bugfixes (lots more to come!):

• Last night, the Online Game menu was lagging for a while because we were trying to repeatedly re-generate the list of 1,912 in-progress games!! Needless to say, I've never stress-tested it to that level ;) Now you'll see open lobbies, games you're a member of, and then the most-recent 150 in-progress games that you're not a member of.
• Durp... actually made the leaderboard show up on Steam. You need 15 ranked games to get onto the list.

We support all 3 platforms & will try to keep them in sync. There is a compiler issue with Mono that's blocking the Linux/OSX builds for now, and everything is crazy, so I'm frantically patching Windows for now (vast majority of users are there) and then will try to get Linux/Mac up to the same codebase early this week. Sorry for the divergence! It's just a little crazy right now. Windows only (so far):

• The upgrade wasn't explained before, if you chose it from the main menu. Now it tells you what the upgrade does.
• The BlueLine Cloud Signup Dialog had huge text.
• Rematch functionality has a ton of edge-cases so we took the button out (took this out on Windows right before launch). It's only a problem when both users have the button & hit it at the same time, so it's not too dangerous unless Linux & Mac users are playing each other right now & both hit Rematch really quickly.

I spent 5.5 hours yesterday going through the forum, so I have a HUGE list of bug-reports and tweaks coming up (yes, we'll let you have Black be on the bottom when you're black ;) )... will push updates as fast as I can. In the meantime, I'm sorry if I don't answer forum posts quickly... I'm usually on top of that, but this game might have so many users that I'll never be able to catch up? Please help each other on the forums as much as possible and I'll definitely be in there tonight after I have a few of the most important bugfixes solved. PS: I still didn't fix the currency-conversion, so you can get the upgrade for 499 of whatever your currency is... might want to grab the Premium while it's still $0.07 in Rubles, lol ;) Thanks again everyone for playing! :D :D we're really feeling the love!
