If you play the minion to the left of another mech they get combined.
If you play the minion to the right of another mech, you play that minion normally

    Having them aim at minions is a bit of a UI mess also as minions traditionally move out of the way when you play a minion, except this can target minions, except if you pull it over a non mech it would have to just complain at you

    Yup. The very first prototype we did was hover over to attach or between to play to the board, but it was always super fidgety and caused a lot of misplays even on PC. On smaller phones it was just a world of Oops.:P

    This seems very elegant and clever to me. Well done! Plus the animation is killer.

    =) Thank you! Josh and Lorenzo did a lot of the upfront work for the engineering and concept, they get most of the credit.^
