snowball effect...? I wish it had one because that would mean the game would be playable and had a lot of players but it literally doesn't...

Your statement had an error in it, I corrected it for you.
You're welcome. Anyway, enjoy your dead game.

Our counts are currently super low, but if you hop in #matchmaking around ~7pm EST, there's usually a few games/day: https://discord.gg/tol

(If you play outside EST evenings, you're currently out of luck - but keep checking back every now and then)

Aw, that time sadly sucks for Europeans (like me).

Is anything being done about hackers at all? I had a group of 8+ people trying to play (the fact we can make a custom lobby to balance the player count aside) and over the 5 times we played in public lobbies every one had a hacker in it.

Yep, WIP - News happens at #news in Discord:

https://discord.gg/tol

This discussions area only has like 5 active people, so we don't maintain this :) We only have 1 active developer (indie budget), so it's still being coded/tested.

I downloaded it today and...It's dead. Can't even find 1 player :/

We recently had hackers for an extended duration when we already had low playercounts: This was very recently fixed, but player counts will be low for a bit.

However, there are numerous players wanting to play: Just across a 24-hour timezone with 0 players, so it's hard to coordinate for 8~16p games; it's going to take some time to get momentum building again.

To help momentum, try letting people know what time you're around (opposed to things like "dead game" that creates negative momentum, as this won't be the 1st time we brought the game back to life). But definitely use DISCORD rather than here: That's where people coordinate games so you don't even need to login to coordinate.

So before the hackers, although low player counts, we'd always see a couple games at 7pm EST. Sorry Euro players, but for now -- I'd try to meet in Discord #matchmaking at 7pm EST. That, combined with our marketing later, momentum will pick back up:

i tried to get something other because TOS didnt let me Re enter the game ..... i will loose everything if i create a new account ..

Maybe if the devs didn't go on banning and angry rampage on me when I reported to them it has huge security holes and exploits it would have survived. Sure I might have ruined 1-2 matches on my tests but their reaction was narcissistic, arrogant and impulsive. I have reported countless exploits to various online games (yes even Valve games) and it was the first time I encountered such reaction. And of course one year later a hacker exploits the same holes I pointed out that they refused to take seriously and devastated their game for months. I'm glad in a sense devs like these ruined their own game due to arrogance, especially for something so serious as exploits and failed to ban me (I evaded ALL their ban attempts, that's how broken their game was) for a service I do for FREE.

Sadly it was a fun game, but ban happy devs and tryhards ruined the experience. When you start isolating players, this is what happens. ToS for example can be really toxic, but at least there are players around. If you are going to have a paywall in a game and ban people for small offenses, you are going to end up in this situation every time. Best of luck to the dev team, I debated them about this in the reviews back when the game was active, but they refused to listen to me, so its on them.
