Hey all, 

I wanted to share my new roguelike meets city-builder casual game for mobile.

It’s a quick and fun pick-up-and-play with tons of challenges to overcome, loads of traps like riptides, and enemies like vicious sharks.

Simply tap, drag and release and collect burger collectables, used as c…

Sorry for the late reply, but there are no clearcut ways to do this. I usually finding mobile controls annoying. I did this for my RPG game engine: touching left side of the screen: left.

It has been said that the most difficult part of making a game is to actually complete it. That could not be further from the truth. It may hold up when a developer is just starting out, and have little to no experience of what lies beyond completing a game (let alone making it*), but when there's …

@scott8 thank you so much for your feedback!

Most of that leaves me feeling dirty as you seem to be looking at marketing and profiteering rather than creating games, but answering your questions directly

Hehe, no worries. I just want to create something fun after work, but I want to make it professionally. 

Great answer. Thank yo…

There was this discussion on another forum, which prompted this short entry:

Neat. Looks all pretty great : )

For the trailer, i'd like to have initial back ground story section shorter and compressed, and the gameplay longer and  in more detail. Had to watch several times to get it.
For the game, i'd probably enjoy to have the option to run the simulation faster, so i s…

Hi all,

Some may argue that hyper-casual is probably one of the easiest genres to analyse when it comes to game design. Some may argue that hyper-casuals aren’t worth analyzing because it’s a trend that will die soon. I beg to differ, and I wonder who are these people and why do they argue so much?

I don’t …
