Gameplay (1/2) – for intuitive 1 hand controls, we added a hidden virtual joystick to move the character, activated by touching anywhere. the touch drags its joystick base with it, something that's super intuitive on touch.

(explainer video: white is the joystick base, blue the touch position)

I regret relying on assets to maek life easier (2dtoolkit, vector graphics importer etc etc) years ago, because now having to update Unity versions again and again, but those assets are no longer supported.

same, Google play is the 16kb memory thing plus Unity leak, but also you have to update the android sdk every so often. Even if you pay the Apple dev fee, they can still remove apps that haven't been updated in a long time www.theverge.com/2022/4/23/23...
Apple App Store appears to be widely removing outdated apps
Apple is giving developers just 30 days to update their apps.

To be fair, Peak was made between Landfall and Aggro who already had a massive following from their games and on social. Megabonk is by an unknown dev but most likely a very popular dev youtuber called Dani and the other one went viral plus support from Future Friends

but yes I barely buy any games on mobile and I used to buy loads, but also there used to be lots and they got good features. Now the premium games are on Arcade or Netflix.
