Thank you to Andry Bethpalko for helping with some new features. 🙏
The game was always built with web tech but I only released it on Android and Windows at first. Now I’m trying out a web release with a new experiment in taking payment for the game. Basically I am making the first two levels totally free to play on the web and once you reach level three you can make a one-time payment to unlock the rest of the game. I’m excited to see whether this works out as a viable option for my web games.
@onyxraven you're right it is reminiscent of the shareware model. Thanks for checking it out! 🙏
@chris reminds me of the shareware model. Love it. I’ll pick it up soon (didn’t have time when I tried it out yesterday)
