I'm in no way trying to argue your decision, I'm genuinely curious how much work it was to create a game like this. Also, how much of the conceptual work for this game had you done prior to leaving your job?
Not to detract from the fun of the game, but I get a strong feeling that this is probably a very studied problem in topology - and that thought keeps on nagging me to write a solver script :)
But that's what makes it fun. It's the perfect combination of familiarity & challenge!
What is your monetization strategy if you have one? Ads? Free now but paid in the future?
For now the strategy is to avoid ads on iOS and sell in-game level packs, however I'm not sure how well that model works on android, I'd love to know if anyone has thoughts on that, it seems most people just do ad driven games on android
I went with two apps and a Lite version. It's a bit of a hassle.
Out of interest, do you make the levels by hand, or do you have a script to generate them? Would be interesting to know the rules for a valid level against an impossible level.
The game is beautiful, too. Wonderful job!
I've played this game before (well, not this one, but the same game by a different company). Very enjoyable and your UI looks better than the other. The question I have is: how does one go about creating a puzzle game? I've always wondered. It seems like a lot of work to make something that's difficult-but-solvable.
Just one thing, the web version seems kinda blurry. Even on a non-retina 5+ year old LCD.
Just checked and it's even blurrier on a retina ... the website itself is super crisp, but the textures in the game area itself kind of aren't.
