Show HN: Shadow Cities - Location Based MMO for iPhone

Hi enra, I just played this for about 30 minutes. I was intrigued because it was billed as location-based MMO. The site didn't really give me any expectations of what the gameplay was going to be like.

The intro made me smile when the fingerprint showed up. Didn't know which team to pick because I couldn't tell if there was any particular strength in each side. I went with Architects. I was imagining possibly have some powers from the surrounding buildings?

Game started and it put me on my home address, not current location. Awesome! how'd it do that? I liked the tutorial to the gameplay. It was clear. It looked like you were using openstreetmap. I spent some time noticing the fog-of-war effect and the lighting.

The game started and I repeated the tutorial steps to advance. At first, I didn't see that I had to click "collect my reward" on the missions screen. Why not give the reward on completion? The Missions screen is difficult to read. Even though there isn't much text here, I didn't read most of it. Everything is kind of center-aligned and difficult to understand at a glance. The cloud-view was a cool effect, but the map was blurry here. Somethings I am looking forward to see: Other players in the game, and figuring out what to do to capture a gateway. I will definitely keep playing the game.

good luck

We're are you based at? We are in process of improving the maps for Northern America but there should be Gateways here and there and at least in cities.
