Frozen Synapse is the ultimate tactical game: you have full control over your strike team, directing their every movement. At the same time, your opponent is plotting to defeat you. Plan your moves, then hit the "Execute" button: both you and your enemy's turns are executed simultaneously.
Bite-size, hardcore strategy: a touch of X-Com and Laser Squad, with a striking sci-fi aesthetic.

Steam servers overloaded
GYYYHHAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHH!!!!
Been overloaded since release. Still can't dl. At least the steam achievements still seem to clock up when playing stand alone.
Congrats to the developers :-D Youtube.com
Will you be releasing a demo?
Any chance you'll be releasing on Steam? You guys deserve all the outlets you can find.
Also, I asked this months ago but never got an answer... Any chance of a tablet / smartphone release? Considering the 'pick up & put down' gameplay with email updates, I think portable formats would be great for FS. Get bored, start a game on the train, update your moves throughout the day.
Serious possibilities.
We are releasing on Steam today.
Smartphone / iPad is difficult but we're looking into it - the interface is actually the opposite of what works well on those platforms.
My question also...will there be a "demo" on desura?
Some of it, yes, but if you were to just pile everything into context menus, or take a leaf out of Dolphin browser's book and have side tabs that only show when you slide quickly to the side...
Meh, you're the professionals so I won't act like I know stuff.
Existing soundtrack pack will be updated soon, and the standalone soundtrack product will be available after launch.
Great, thanks.
