Any idea what you would have to do to get it running on iOS? Did you release it? If so, how is it doing compared to your expectations? (I looked for it on the Play store but couldn't find it)

Maybe compile it for Webassembly?

Why did it get deleted from Play Store?

The HTTPS certificate expired on my privacy policy page and Google delists the app when that happens. After you renew they require that you resubmit the app and I didn't bother since there were barely any downloads then.

You should probably give credit to Casey / Handmade Hero with regards to your windows platform code. Well its kinda scattered around, so probably just credit in general.

True, Casey/HH was a huge inspiration and the project started from following the first few days of Handmade Hero. I should mention it.

You would have to write the platform code for iOS similarly to how the Android and Windows is written. The initial idea was to release it on iOS as well but at the end I didn't want to invest in buying a Mac, the license and the time to port it.

Edit: As for the release, I think it barely broke a couple of hundred downloads. I didn't do any real marketing and had no real goal of really getting the game out there as it was a learning experience for me first and foremost.

I work in tools for game devs and it's great to see more open-source work like this it's very hard to find good modern open-source game examples.

Thanks, it's not the cleanest code and for example my immediate mode GUI is nowhere near IMGUI but theres still plenty to look at.

if youre wondering why its not on the play store > The game has been since delisted on the Play Store, however you can download the APK here.

Yeah the privacy policy page had an expired certificate and Google delists the app automatically when that happens.
