What people are saying about MIRTS:
"This doesn't mean he can't do smarter and bigger things, just that a port of A Dark Room is not that, and neither were his other descriptions of projects he did in the meantime (for example, look at the screenshots for Mildly Interesting RTS)." - Jonathan Blow, creator of Braid and The Witness
"This RTS is indeed, mildly interesting." - A random person
"I was able to play my friend over wifi, during lunch, one-handed. My other hand was holding a delicious sammich." - RTS enthusiast
"My significant other beat me. How is this possible?" - Former diamond league Starcraft player
"This old guy played against me and he won, but my APM was so high. How did he do that?" - Angsty teen who is inexperienced at RTS's
"I don't get this game. What is an APM?" - Someone who doesn't play RTS's and probably shouldn't have downloaded MIRTS
"The description of this game is probably better than the game itself. But I'll download it anyways." - Pessimistic viewer
"Meh." - Hobby game developer
"Wait, are you just quoting anyone that reaches out to you?" - Photographer
"I love bamboo." - A panda bear

Best $0.99 I Ever Spent
TV commercials? I pull out this game. In line at the DMV? I pull out this game. On the toilet? I pull out this game. Bored with nothing to do? I play this game. The first video game I ever played was Warcraft 2. I played it, and I was good at it, before I could even read. Some of my fondest memories of my dad are sitting next to him as he played through Starcraft, Warcraft 3, and Starcraft 2 when they came out. Even now, Reign of Chaos is one of my favorite games of all time. I love RTS games, even if I suck at Tides of Darkness, Brood War, and Frozen Throne. And this scratches a very similar itch. Now, this is not on the same level of depth and complexity as Starcraft. or Age of Empires. or Warhammer. or Command & Conquer. or even Halo Wars. It plays more like a pocket sized Risk with a Final Fantasy 7 style active time system. But simple doesn’t mean bad. Far from it. If anything, the developer (who I was already a huge fan of thanks to the likes of The Ensign and A Dark Room, which are also very simple yet masterworks) absolutely knocked the concept out of the park. There are a few detrimental aspects. Visual glitches, odd control choices, the occasional hard crash when the random map spawns in a piece of impossible geometry, some unearned victory conditions, AI exploits up the wazoo, and sometimes the random maps are literally mathematically unwinnable. But for a dollar, dude, these are but petty grievances. The longevity alone of this game makes it worth the purchase, and if I could give it another dollar I would. Amir, you knocked this one out of the park.

Doesn’t work on iPhone 17
I love MIRTs. I’ve played it an hour every day for the past 4 years. However, since I upgraded my phone, it doesn’t work anymore.
