Thanks everyone
I have switched workplace so should have more time again to code some more.
I will upload a early alpha during the week to try for the ones that want it.

Everything is more or less placeholders because i wanted the core mechanics to be done and then add things after that.

Xaby i do not have a ouya
But it should be able to play any apk?

https://play8bitars.itch.io/its-dark-bob

The code is : 1010154

I have only windows and Linux planned so far...
Pretty much because i earn the same amount on 4-6 that purchase my games on itch then wath i earn on mobile adds in 1-2 years.
And thats more or less that adds pay so badly …
Pixelstein have over 10 000 downloads on android but earn me about 2-3 £ max in a month.

And as you can notice do i use large buttons in case i will port it to mobiles at a later stage.

I focus on pc at the start and if it goes well so should it be simple to convert to android.
Sadly so do android not generate that much money at all
Many android users do use addblockers also.
But it would be fun to make a android version later on to promote the pc version.

I know some people, who are hungry for new games for the OUYA. They also would buy it on Steam or itch.io or so, and maybe it would be possible to also have there the APKs für the OUYA. To prevent copyprotection it is possible to use devicename "OUYA", so the APK could decide, if it should start or not

Hey Cliff... I've been away for quite a while (I did a bit of game dev still... a little game project in Construct 3, then a little project in Unity, then got an Arduboy console and made a game on it, then bought PICO-8 and made a game for it).

Anyway... I am very glad to see you're creating a new game! This is looking fantastic both visually and game design wise. Seems to have a good bit of depth to it. Excellent!
