The clearest message I got from this comments section is that there should be a way to remove ads. This will be my first priority.

I'll check it out. Difficulty setting is a great idea. I was also thinking about adding a practice section where you can select the operations you want as well as the types of numbers.

I understand. Most developers don't care once they've got their ad impression. Although I don't assume people would outright buy the game without trying first. Especially from a first time developer. So the free version is a

That is a brilliant suggestion. I was thinking of localization. Maybe I can replace more words, like play and settings buttons with play and cog icons. And yes, I tried to select the education category from google play developer console, bu

Thanks for the feedback! I'll think of some way to improve it. Maybe another font.

The short visual tutorial might help with this as well I imagine. I wrote it as an answer to another comment, I can't copy paste as I had to go on mobile.

Thanks for sharing your experience. It's very valuable to me. I'm very much a stranger to this world, and I don't have anyone to ask for advice. I don't like putting ads in the game. If nothing, it breaks the retro atmos

Wow, your membership is older than my idea for the game. Don't sue me please :)

By the way I don't normally use social platforms much but I created a twitter account for this. It's @DawnspriteGames I haven't tweeted anything yet :), but I'll let you know when there is an update. You can also send me

I just played it. Awesome! Such a simple idea, yet fast and fun. I bookmarked it in my "Interesting" folder :)

Thank you! I bought a Mac Mini the same time I made my first commit on this project so I could build for iOS. I will definitely release an iOS version. It's just that, I have to get an iPhone and pay $100 for the developer program. It&

Of course! I'd be willing to open source my own code if anyone is interested. It's not the best quality code I've written though, that's why I have reservations about open sourcing it :)

They are called Interstitial Ads. I know it's annoying but I think banner ads are worse. They are usually placed at clever positions so you'll click on them by accident. I'll release a paid version.

It is decided then. I'll release an Education version without the ads.

This is what I'm imagining: After the first balloon is in view, the game is paused. It says "Assemble the equation by pressing on the operation and the numbers." And an animation of a pixel-art thumb coming down on the button

Unity provides all the low level engine stuff. Both the missile and the falling bomb are GameObjects in Unity jargon. They have positions as Vector3 types. I get them both and get the difference vector. Then according to the magnitude of th

I can maybe add a "Remove Ads" IAP. This is such a niche game I didn't think anyone would be willing to pay for it. Also if you sell the game or offer IAPs you have to get into some sort of merchant agreement with Google, I d

Thank you! It really does. The hardest part is getting at least passable skills in all the areas required for game development. I'm a full time programmer and I draw but I had no idea how to handle sound, things like that.

It is, kind of... :) I envisioned this game to be very casual. Played in sessions, while you commuted or otherwise had to pass time. But a lot of my friends who played the game also requested a pause button. I might give in. PS: You can jus

The core game mechanic was done in a couple of weeks. The rest took two and a half years :D Some more details: There are multiple kinds of clouds, which can spawn at specific heights. They are spawned at semi-random intervals. The stars onl
