I think every gamer dreams of making their own own game so that's what my best friend (a digital hermit hence why i'm the only maker listed) and I finally did. The mobile market is dominated by hyper casual games with a strong emphasis on pay to play. Many possess procedurally generated levels so the game can be churned out quickly. Fair play to them, it's proven, it works, hell even I've considered doing it. (I still am...) But our stupid passion got in the way and my friend and I wanted to do something different first time around. We wanted to make a proper game, with hand crafted levels, with a set pattern of enemies to encourage mastery - essentially a 2D shooter from the SNES / Megadrive (or Genesis!?) days. We wanted the gamer to know that this was really made by fellow gamers, not some corporate chasing targets. And so after 9 months of side-hustling we launched Harpoon Harry on the 7/7. Thanks for hearing my story, I'd LOVE if you could give it a go and even better share your thoughts on the game here, play store, www, wherever! And to anyone else making indie games more than happy to pay it forward and give your games a go because that's what it's all about. For anyone that asks - yes, iOS ain't too far away. Thanks for hearing us out. Johno (@johnathondeniz -PH @johnodeniz -Twitter @JEJSoft -Twitter)
