Thanks for the kind words. I'm not really expecting to make much money from the game (since its the first I've made, and I've been making it up as I go along) though I'm learning lots from putting it up at different sites, and trying to overcome the various problems I encounter.

When I spotted 'Harrioz Hoez' on the Leaderboard this morning, I had a feeling you might be stopping by! Well done, and best of luck working your way to the top. I have some catching up to do myself, as I deleted all my test scores but accidentally left one of them. Typically it was the match in which I scored a truly astounding zero points!

Thank you for the very generous rating. Very kind of you to spread the word - it really helps (especially since Indiedb keep archiving all my news announcements for some reason, which means no one can see them). All the positive feedback I've been getting has helped push Board Horde to a more prominent place on Clays 'popular' list, earning me another cent! Since I have officially earned Fiddy Cent on clay, I believe this now entitles me to wear a backward cap and say 'yo!' at passers by.
In other news, I'm giving up on Kongregate for now (the sun is shining and I want a lolly, dammit!). I've tried uploading my game there, and although it worked perfectly on Chrome and Firefox on my laptop, I had the good sense to test it on another identical laptop and discovered the sound was garbled on Firefox and it would occasionally crash. After updating to the latest Firefox, the game worked better though there was a bit of audio delay. Also the Leaderboard statistics and Achievement notification failed to show up anywhere (though this might be because I was in preview mode). There doesn't seem to be a way to properly upload the game for mobile, either (the options there, but it doesn't accept the file format).
More experimentation will follow next weekend.
Thanks once more for all your help and support folks!
