Outwitters 2!

Some additions to your suggestions:
1. I like the idea of two specials. In fact, I wouldn't mind having a "mini special" unit for each race, just so there is already a difference in the spawns for each team in the early game. For example, Scallies could have their runner explode with 1 damage to all surrounding hexes when it dies; or adorables could have a soldier with 2 range; or veggies could have a 4 HP soldier, etc.

Balancing would be an issue, but my point is that at least this differentiates the teams even with regards to the cheap units.

2. If you could port it to PC, why not to Android as well? I agree that more exposure is needed, and I already pity all the Android and PC users who are missing out on a gem of a game.

I'm glad I'm not alone!

I do agree that it would be nice to see a little difference between the teams even during early game, but I also think we should be careful not to overdo it. There are many games where all the units for different teams are completely different. It can be fun like that, but I don't think Outwitters needs to go that way. At any rate, a map editor could allow players to do this anyway =)

The reason I suggest making the heavy into the "mini special" as you call it is to kill two birds with one stone.

1. Make the Heavy worth spawning more often, especially for non-Adorable teams
2. Add that early game team variation you suggest (especially on maps with pre-deployed heavies). Also team choice will actually matter more on maps like Foundry!
