Is this generally how you prefer mobile games? Free to try...or just a playable limited free version? How do you feel about ads or IAPs?

How come you didn't continue making games?

I just hope that we are not the Smashing Pumpkins of indie game dev. Thanks for your comment. Made me smile.

We were going for an old school look. I'm trying to think back on a 2009 aesthetic lol. Thanks for trying our game. Really appreciate it.

Thank you, and you're right...I'm perpetually surprised at the actual number of my age.

I'm glad my lil research has been validated. Last week I bought one of those adapter cases that accommodate 6 1.5Vs but have 9V terminals. Now how to tape that case to my little robot. And I don't know much, so thank you.

Great and detailed feedback, thanks! - UI has always been my weakest point in the sense that what seems logical to me might be puzzling to others. I've been taking notes on what's confusing to players and will implement improvemen

I love the Unity asset store and I use it a lot for graphic assets. I intend to get back to Unity when I feel a little more competent and not feel like I need a whole bunch of third-party programming assets to do what I want to do.

I don't think it's ever too late to start. And really, even just a few years back, barriers to entry for anyone who wanted to be an indie dev were a bit high. I was born and raised in a 3rd world country. And while we had consoles

I'm super glad that you're doing the thing you love. My son helped out in game dev. He's credited as "best ideas ever" and he is also demanding a cut of profits.

I just looked at your blog post. Artwork is amazing for your original game. I wouldn't say great for a 15-year old...it's super well-done, period. And it's adorable that you had stuffies on your monitor.

I was reading about how the mobile game space has taken a totally different path from PC/Console games. Players are largely onboard with the "value" of even the most casual games on the latter platforms. But there is now a lo

I've never been brave enough to do game jams. I dunno, I've always been afraid I'd break under the pressure. Was it fun for you?

We use PaperMC too. We've tried to implement GeyserMC so that his non-bedrock friends can join but so far, no love. I haven't had time to dig into why. Very cool that you can write plugins for your kid's server!

Yes, someone else pointed it out and that amateur-hour moment is gonna drive me crazy until we can push another update. Thank you for paying attention and caring enough to let me know.

I've never played that but huh, it's freaky how the mechanic and game loop are similar. There's even food flying around! Thanks for showing this to me, I will probably crib some stuff for an update. It's really cool. But

Thanks! I've always been fascinated by electronics and I so envy people in that domain. I bought an Arduino board (sorry if that's totally kiddie to you) and some parts and so far, my son and I have made a little robot that runs v

Thank you! It's on Google Play too...but if you meant that you don't use a mobile device in general, we still appreciate that you read the post.

We have a github that I plan to populate with the useful bits and pieces that I've written along the way. Will come back here when I stop procrastinating.

How has your experience with Unity been? It overwhelms me for 2D work. Thanks for the links, I'm gonna check out your games!
