Description
About This Game
As a solo indie developer, everything lies in your hands: Adding features, editing the levels and trying to make the best game you can. Each attempt is different and gives you the chance to build the next big indie hit. Choose the perfect music, add better art and manage the expectations of your parents. The reviews will judge you in any case. It's all about The Games You Make.
Make good choices
Jetpacks or jump scares? Why not both! Choose between spending time on combining new exciting features, much needed fixes or tending to your social life. Every choice you make will be reflected in the resulting game. Turn that weird bug into a feature or work on the perfect beginning of the level. Follow up with that artist from last week’s meetup to get more visual oomph.
Success and failure will determine the next set of features to unlock which in turn might give you the edge you’ve been looking for in the next title. Survive long enough on your budget to see yourself succeed as brilliant indie developer.
Make a game, for real
The level editor provides you with all the tools to create a game, and it's up to you to design the best version possible. Ensure it remains playable; the reviews will let you know what they think about your efforts.
Make friends
While you are working on your game, life happens around you. Whoever you choose to spend time with might open the door to funding, new features or just mental support. Take care of yourself and your friends. Your curiosity might be rewarded.
It's yours to make or break
You choose to make your level a cozy wholesome trip through the fields or a bomb-spiked tower of destruction. You are limited by time, imagination and your budget.
