[DEV] I assumed ending my neon arcade video games (Neon Tower & Neon Bricks) was the onerous half. Seems, getting anybody to play them is the true last boss.

Hey everybody.

I not too long ago launched two neon arcade video games on Google Play: Neon Tower and Neon Bricks. I had this naive concept that when I hit 'Publish', gamers would simply magically seem.

Yeah… no. Advertising as a solo dev is genuinely 10x more durable than writing the code or designing the degrees.

Anyway, as a substitute of simply observing my Google Play Console stats, I figured I'd share what I've been pouring my soul into.

The humorous factor about these two video games is that I designed them to be full opposites:

Neon Tower is so punishingly onerous that you just'll in all probability die in a minute and rage-quit. Neon Bricks is tremendous chill and simple, designed so you possibly can simply zone out and play it ceaselessly.

My essential focus was making the neon glow and the impacts really feel as juicy as attainable for each. Let me know what you consider the visuals!

(And critically, if anybody has tips about how you can truly promote Android video games with out an enormous funds, I'm all ears 😭😭)

Listed here are the direct Google Play hyperlinks if you wish to test them out:

Thanks for letting me vent. Get pleasure from your weekend!
