This sounds pretty good to be honest!

I know! The version that got these results had errors, which have been fixed. After I add more content I will run another web fit test.

Still waiting on Playgama. Trying Yandex but they are very, very picky and each resubmission takes 3-4 days.

Let this experience be a reminder for solo devs who want to self publish to make simple games. Even the simplest game will have 1,000s of steps to complete to get your app live and _potentially_ earning revenue.

I’m working on a variation that’s more friendly for beginners and uses tiles instead of cards. I think this type of game is saturated already and a new twist is needed.

Also: I didn’t provide any assets and it looks like their team used AI to make some.

Initial results are in and they’re expectedly not good. I’m glad to have gone through the process from prototype to full launch. A lot was learned. I even have [an Android app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cardsolve.puzzles)now too with AdMob integration!

I put this project aside for a few days, but I’m now back at it with an iteration that uses tiles instead of cards. The card approach is saturated with dozens of clones.

The newer version I’m working on will have a timer and lives. I’m reusing ~90% of the code for this new version which is very convenient. It’s still taking a few to several days to set up.

Here’s how the latest version looks during testing.

Congratulations to been through all theses steps! I didnt know releasing a web game was all that complicated.  
I played your card game and it was really enjoyable!  
I am nowhere near this achievment so keep it up!

The first time will always be more complicated. In theory it’s easy, but there are a lot of steps and… waiting. The waiting is tough because there’s nothing you can do about it other than work on other projects.

Thanks for playing!
