Needs bug fixes!

This is a phenomenal game. Recently the developers even updated it to version 2.00.23 after five years of not getting any updates which was a surprise for me! Despite this there are still old bugs from the previous version of the game that went unfixed. One of which being “ghost teams/units” which when selecting a tile to send a selected team towards, offer the swap mechanic to switch places of two teams/units despite there not being another team/unit in the level (it can also be a color of team/unit that is not present if there are multiple in a single level). Another new bug which has much more impact on levels is a bug where sometimes enemies will be knocked out of bounds and clip through the bottom tif the map back into a corner of the map. This can lead to enemy units which would have been killed or knocked into the water to clip into the opposite end of the map! I have dealt with this bug and have lost a level due to this bug. If any of the developers or team behind the game read this, please fix this! If anyone is on the fence about buying this game I would still highly recommend it as for the most part it is really fun!
