Hi! I really like this game and I would very much like to port it to the PS Vita. I don't need source code or anything, just your approval to release it.

You can check my twitter to see some of my work regarding this: https://twitter.com/m1s3ry_


Thank you very much!

awesome game with that 'just one more game' quality to it.. Awesome stuff! Any chance you'll release the source at some point? What's it written in btw? Game Maker?

(1 edit)

Oh- sorry I didn't get back to this for a while!

I'm glad you liked it! I might consider releasing the source at some point in the future. The game is indeed made with GameMaker: Studio 1.4! You can see all the tools I used in the "More information" dropdown on the store page. (or in the credits, if you can find them ;))

It's nice that there is a demo. I'm not a fan of the keyboard controls, so great that you added controller support. Though, I think that every paid game should have rebindable keys. I also found it unclear what the bar in the bottom right was.

Great game!  Check out my thoughts in my latest video:

Thank you so much for the video!! I'm actually working on controller support right now- hopefully I'll be able to get that update out pretty soon.

That's great news : )
