Last night the game went into soft release on POKI, so now real players can try it out, and I can finally get real feedback 💬  
Error tracking is in place, analytics are connected, the funnel is set up.  
Now the main thing is to figure out whether players like the game — and how to make them like it even more 🤔

🔍 **About game**  
• 26 weeks of development (wish it were faster, but it is what it is)  
• ~1 hour of content (I’m so tired of doing level design and balancing)  
• Build size: 3.1 MB + 2.1 MB (sounds and music load after launch)  
• I built an in-game scene editor. I’ll keep developing it and use it in future games

3D + Defold + Poki = ❤

Now I have 3–4 weeks of soft launch ahead — time for bugfixes, improvements, and adding new content. I want to be as prepared as possible for the global release 💪

A lot of time and effort went into this game. I really hope it pays off 😄

I’d be super grateful for your feedback and reviews. Let me know what you like, what you don’t, and what you’d love to see added to the game 😊

**Congratulations!!**  
I can’t even imagine myself working on a single project for 26 weeks , this is tough.  
I wish you the best and hope you get what you deserve.

Edit: I want a fullscreen button. Why isn’t Poki’s fullscreen button showing up?

Congrats ! Awesome work , really nice job on the build size. I first played with pc browser and total content time a little over an hour so I think you meet that goal.

I then tried to play your game on Galaxy Tab A7(tablet) and My character spawned stuck between the dock and boat. After restarting a few times I finally got him free. Maybe an unstuck button in settings could be useful.

It’s a serverless tech using Google Actions and Firestore.  
Google action is cool. Firestore is not cool. It have strange count for usage and prices.
