Hi HN!

I’ve been building a 2D game using a custom engine I wrote from scratch – no Unity, no frameworks. It’s fully self-funded and will be released commercially on Steam.

Engine source code (MIT): http://github.com/willtobyte/carimbo

I’d love feedback on the gameplay, visuals, performance, or anything else. Thanks!

I don’t know I am not supposed to play on a phone but it seems like nothing I click does much of anything in the game. I just keep seeing a few different phrases come up and I can’t seem to do anything.

It also seems like you’ve focused more on telling us about the technology behind the game rather than introduce the game. What’s the name of the game? What’s the premise? What type of game is it?

This might sound harsh but if this is your marketing strategy I wouldn’t even bother releasing it commercially.

You should probably add a message or something. Over half of all internet traffic is from mobile devices.
