The wave viewer can be turned off via the button on the left side of the menu if you want to play without it.
I'd rather offer to people the ability to know basic elemental details without having to write them all down and play the map twice. Elements and specials are the only thing revealed this way rather than everything.
A very small portion of players are seeing excessive lag, and it seems very system specific, the main problem tracking down what's doing it is that I can't reproduce it no matter how many machines I try it on, nor can any of my beta testers, this is good and bad in the same breath. Please leave me a whisper (or a shout if it makes you angry!) with as much info as you can if you experience it, it'll help.
Absoloutely, as Solistus says - I'm very commited to taking care of any issues you come across, it's just some of them will take a bit of time, it's only been up 2 days at this point, and the first few days of a release are the busiest.
There is nothing more valuable to me than good feedback from players, even if it's just to poke fun of my grammar!
dragonus, the update was quite subtle, I just worked out some issues to allow me to update fluidly now, so I wanted to take care of some small things as soon as I could. I'm not finished yet, there's a couple of remaining bits and pieces I'd like to fix up soon based on feedback, so stay tuned.
Just a quick update, as Solistus suggests, I am planning to update soon. Selecting a unit or opening and closing the music box is a simple workaround for now for the can't select issue.
I'd like to point out that Marathon levels are optional nasty challenges that often require a specific approach in order to demonstrate a specific strategy players will find useful to try in other levels, you don't have to do them. (though there is a slight issue with regeneration that will update, it is still quite "easy" with the correct approach)
On the subject of selling units, you can't do it, because there is a different plan that will be far more strategic, I'm happy to discuss these plans and solicit ideas for future versions via my profile, just not in the comments which would be impossible to maintain a dialouge through.
If you’re having lag issues, try playing in an alternate browser (IE/Firefox) this seems to solve it. I’m working on tracking down exactly why it happens.

I think they might have found out already.
The sequel should be out very shortly, which amongst many other things removes all copyright material, regardless of the fact the owners of the copyright are fine with my using them.
I understand your reaction as in many situations it's warranted, but not this one.
