why is this $3
Dear oneVone.
I know $3 is quite a sum. Comparing with other game here at itch.io, it's quite a drag to pay $3 for such a simple game.
When I launched the game on itch.io, the original idea was to be part of the Racial Bundle - which happened and made me very happy. Then the Summer sales came, and I offered the game for free during that period.
When the summer sale ended, I kept the original price. I don't intend to get rich out of this, but the amount of hours I put on developing this game during my jobless quarentine, I though, maybe this could help with some bills.
It's not helping at all as I made no sale, but at the same time, I think it's not the right time to lower the price, as I invested more than a hundred hours on this, and on my mind I want to value my work. Maybe it's the wrong mindset, but it's the current mindset.
Meanwhile, the game is free on Android, with ads. I made 0.02cents out of the ads, which means the game is financially a total flop. But all the comments here and there make me quite glad with the result.
Maybe, sometime soon, I'll put the game free on itch.io, but for now, if you have an Android, you can get it there!
Hope to have answered your question,
Love,
Miguel Antunes
