#12Congrats, it looks fantastic, it is obvious you have worked hard on the details, (deceptively) simple graphics notwithstanding.
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 only shine after midnight, they are dull at dusk. Every object's colour values are separately changed according to the time of day. There is a delay between UI and scene dawn/dusk tim…
Awesome, that's what I meant by 'deceptive' :) Simple on first glance, but somehow everything just looks good.

Thank you! I'd be happy if kids played my game and remembered it somehow in their adulthood :)

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 just press the home button on your device, and when you come back, it will continue where you left it :)

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.

#20Hey everyone! I've been working on this game for about 3 years in my spare time. It's a simple puzzle game utilizing arithmetic operators. I made it using Unity3D. All the visual assets are made from scratch and the sound effects come from various free sound effect sites. Although the idea is simple I've put a lot of effort into it to make it look polished. For example there is a day/night cycle which serves no other…
Your game looks very nice, but I'm not a big fan of ads. Is there a way to pay a premium for an ad free version?
