Looks cool, bud! I was in a similar situation a while back and published a game too. It never made any money, mostly because I didn't market it too hard, but it was one of those milestones that I accomplished just to say that I did. :) Heads up! You misspelled 'distractions' in your screenshot.
Congrats! Just bought it, and absolutely love the “Data Not Collected” badge — the best ad, imo. ;)
My son wants to learn how to make games but I have no game development experience. What path did you take to start learning game development?
Some really great resources for kids to learn to program games: CodeCombat Construct 3

I am developer with over 20 years of experience. I have learned programming from books where computers were generally not available where I grew up. But my son is learning programming (started when he was 6, he just turned 8 recently). He started by goofing off with some robots programmed in visual languages. Then moved to goofing off even more in Scratch. When pandemic started we found a school that teaches programm…
I've been doing it on and off for 14 years and I'm still learning how to do it. Started a new prototype last night after the kids went to bed.
Ah, it requires iOS 15. Will try again after I get a chance to upgrade.
This is very inspiring - I started out life as an artist and then became a programmer in my late 20's. I'm now 37 and feel that I could have been a game developer but that I'm a bit too old to start.
Congratulations! Game development is what got me interested in programming in the first place. Once I put my first pixel on the screen and I figured out how to interact with it blew my mind, limitless possibilities. Since the pandemic started my wife and I have published one game [0] and currently have a second one [1] in a pre-release phase (probably going to make a separate SHOW HN post once it is live). Keep up th…
Thanks for the links, I'm gonna check out your games!

GMS2 is a good engine. I also built a Minecraft server for my son. Started with an RP4 but he complained about lag so I finally just let him a Linux laptop.
Additionally, I can write plugins for PaperMC which is the whole point of having the server in the first place (at least in our case).
