Hello, Itch!

I'm an indie Android developer. It's my second try to create a game for Android. I want to share with you the final result and interesting developing stages.
I decided not to use game engines like Unity and implement everything using just standard Android SDK. Also, I tried not to use any libs and create all logic and algorithms for the hexagonal field by myself.

Previously I didn't have experience creating the design, all I did before - to implement what others have drawn. Thank God I found Figma. It has a low entry threshold. ;)

Main gameplay features:
+ Classic connecting the same color dots or objects mechanic;
+ Game field is hexagonal grids;
+ 4 game modes. Each brings unique game objects and the way you can interact with them. Each mode requires a unique tactic to succeed.
+ Survival game mode. The difficulty of the game is gradually increasing. It will not be boring.
+ Power-ups for critical situations.

In total, it took me 4 months to develop. I worked on this game in the evenings and weekends. 3 months for main logic, game features, and basic UI/UX + 1 month with a designer for the final improvements.

By the way, I have screenshots of how the design has changed after I start work with a designer.

If someone is interested in testing this game - you are welcome.

I decided to share with you the results of my work. If someone is interested in how I did this or that thing - write, and I will answer. Also, any feedback is appreciated.

Welcome to the 2048 Cozy! 

This is one of the varieties of board games. The playing field is divided into tiles. Each may contain numbers. To win, you need to get a certain number(For mode 3x3 it's 512). Without the right strategy, this will not be easy. How to play: Simply swipe(Left, Right, Up, Down) to move the tiles. When two tiles with the same number touch, they merge into one. For example, two tiles with 4 will merge into 8. Two tiles with 1024 - into 2048 and so on. Playtime matters, try to reach the game goal as quickly as possible. But don’t worry, time will stop as soon as you leave the application and continue on your return. It supports two visual themes - Light and Dark. The Dark one is good for a night or in places with bad light, it will reduce the strain on your eyes and also keep your phone charged for longer.

Features:

• 5 different modes. The classic one with a 4x4 board and goal to combine 2048. Others are 3x3, 5x5, 6x6, 7x7;
•  Keep playing for a high score after reaching the game goal; Unlimited Undo moves;
•  Game is automatically saved and continue to play later;
•  Compare your best score and time on the leaderboard with other players;
•  View game statistics;
•  Share your records with friends;
•  Completely native implementation.
