    Hi,

    my girlfriend and I developed this game, because we wanted to provide a superior substitute for Survivor.io, an already popular game that we enjoyed playing. While we did enjoy the game, we discovered that the abundance of items that could be bought made the overall experience less enjoyable. At that point, we made the decision to design our own game, one that would put enjoyment and interaction ahead of in-app sales.

    The incorporation of GPU-accelerated rendering for the experience drops was one of the most intriguing parts of creating the game. The rendering of up to 20,000 of these drops in real-time on mobile was a difficult task that demanded a lot of work and technological proficiency.

    The simplicity of our game and its emphasis on player participation are ultimately what distinguish it. We have produced a game that is simple to pick up and play but still has a ton of obstacles and benefits. If you're a hard-core gamer seeking a new challenge or a casual player looking for a fun way to pass the time.

    Hi, thank for the kind words.

    It took me about 3-4 full time months, longer than I thought, because there are so many details to it.

    I have no plan yet because I do not have any knowledge in promotion. I only advertised it in my close circle, friends, family, university etc nothing more.

    Do you have any tips for promotion or where I could get help with it?

    very nice game, it seems well developed I should test it because the problem with these games is that they lag when there are a lot of enemies on the screen. I play vampire survivors and I have also already played Survivors IO and it seems identical to me. there are not many players who play this style of games, but those who play easily spend in IAP. have you found a solution for marketing?

    Impressive for just 4 months, looks fun.

    Some Feedback:
    The term "hypercasual" might turn people off from this game, since a vampire survivor clone and "hypercasual" are kinda mutually exlusive. People that want to play a hyper casual game generally want to play candy crush clones. Maybe call it a "Vampire Survivor-like?"

    I don't really see a theme here, when I hear "lone survivor" I think of a big haired 80's rock band. Maybe call it something more "fun" and colorful like "Survival Crash"
