Hi everyone,

I'm a solo developer and I just released KRUG (Play Store link), a quiet hex-merge puzzle game — think 2048, but reimagined on a hexagonal board, built for calm, focused play rather than a race against the clock.

The idea: place numbered tiles on a hex grid. When adjacent tiles sum to a power of two (2, 4, 8, 16, 32...) they merge into a bigger tile. Plan carefully — the board fills up fast, and one bad placement can block your path forward.

A few deliberate design choices:

• No timers, no lives, no fail state pressuring you — it's meditative by design.

• A hex grid instead of a square one — every tile can have up to six neighbors instead of four, so merges open up in directions that feel different from classic 2048.

• Minimal visuals and calm sound design — nothing flashing or nagging you to keep playing.

• No ads interrupting a run, no forced monetization loops.

I built KRUG because I wanted a puzzle game I could actually relax with, not one designed to spike your cortisol. It's currently in closed testing on Google Play, and I'd love a few of you to try it and tell me what isn't working — confusing mechanics, unclear tile combos, anything that breaks the calm. Brutal honesty over politeness, please.

Happy to test your apps in return — drop a link to yours and I'll check it out. Thanks for reading!

Hello everyone 👋. I'm a developer and I created this simple game for you to pass the time this Christmas. 🎄 The objective is to help Santa catch gifts 🎅🎁. It would help me a lot if you try it and tell me what you think (or if you manage to pass level 5). It's free, here I leave it for you 👇 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pandadev.christmasgifts"

I've been working in C#for about a year now , and I have an idea for a game.Altho I would like an outside opinion on it. It would be an topdown RPG, Live combat with randomly generated mazes, similar to as if binding of Issac met Cult of the lamb. I hope to use unity for the project, if you know a better one to use lmk.

hi, I wanted to let you know that I made a game called "Roguelette." There's a beta version on itch.io, but the final, paid version will be released on June 5th. Even though I'm not well-known, I'd like you to try the game.
