I changed my game’s mechanics so that players can drag the pin to collide with the coin, eliminating the wait time and providing more instant interaction. Surprisingly, this change made the game instantly much more fun.

I think the tutorials and hints in my game are pretty bad.

Improved the tutorial and hints

Improved the tutorial and hints
Redesigned level 1-4

Maybe my game is still too comlicated and tedious for Poki players.

added a progress_bar

Defold made me realize that simple elements can create beautiful, complex things too.

it’s my first time to make animation tutorial in my game. I found it’s not as difficult as I think.

I found the levels in Poki extremely simple, while the levels in my game are too hard.
So I have to change all my levels again.
