YOU’LL NEED TO PULL SOME STRINGS!
You select and perform an opera in a series of 22 American theatres, each with its own custom backdrop of famous landmarks. Each competition then pits you as the puppeteer to strategically build units, upgrade your castle and outposts, and even cast spells using written gestures to destroy the opposing forces and win the affection of the crowd. With 6 professions to unlock, you can learn to repair your troops, mind control the enemy, boo the opposition, and more!
Each of the 5 operas vary significantly in terms of their relative strengths and weaknesses, unit types, building speeds, and most interestingly, how they are affected by changing weather conditions. Choose the best route across the country based on the weather in each city!
Battle of Puppets is easy to learn but the strategy is hard to master!

Almost there
This is a great game, and is really fun to play. The only gripe i had is that the professions are really hard to use. Lots of time when you draw a symbol, it does something other than what you wanted it to do, or it might not do anything at all. This can be really frustrating, and makes the game alot harder. If you could fix this problem, then this would easily be a 5 star game.
PS. Some more armies would be nice to. :)
I had to pull some strings for this app...
No not really… but any way I love this app so much! However I can't beat the "?" level. Survive 7 mins. This app is very different from any other app out there! I hope this app gets in the top 25! Small wonders… YOU RULE!!!
NEEDS MULTI-PLAYER!
I love this game, but it is sorely lacking multi-player. Please make it possible to play another iPod/iPhone locally via bluetooth or wi-fi.
Once beaten the only real thrill/reason to replay would be to fight a human opponent. Thanks!
