I've been building a little browser soccer game for the last few months, and something unexpected keeps happening.

I'll spend days building a feature because I think it's going to make the game more fun.

Then people play it. Sometimes they love it. Sometimes the feedback is basically, "This was more fun before."

The weird part is that the more feedback I get, the more I'm simplifying things instead of adding new mechanics.

I've toned down special shots, changed the AI, simplified parts of the tutorial, and even cut a few ideas I was convinced would make the game better.

I'm curious if anyone else has hit this point.

How do you decide when a feature is actually making the game deeper versus just making it more complicated?

Game Title:
Ball Sort Master

Platform:
Android

Description:
Ball Sort Master is a relaxing yet challenging color-sorting puzzle game where your goal is to sort the colored balls into tubes so that each tube contains balls of the same color. The game starts with simple puzzles to help you learn the mechanics, but the levels gradually become more challenging and require careful planning and thinking ahead. There are currently 2,000+ handcrafted levels to play through, giving you plenty of puzzles to solve. The game is designed for quick sessions when you want to relax, but some of the later puzzles can definitely make you stop and think! It also works offline, so you can play without an internet connection. I’m looking for players who enjoy puzzle games to try it out and give me honest feedback about the difficulty, gameplay, UI, and anything that could be improved.

Free to Play Status:

• Free to play

Involvement:
I’m the indie developer behind Ball Sort Master and built the game myself. I’m responsible for the development and publishing of the game, and I’m currently working on improving it based on player feedback. I’d really appreciate any honest feedback from the PlayMyGame community, especially regarding the difficulty progression, level design, and features you would like to see added.

I recently released my first Android game, a 2D hide-and-seek game called Chameleon 2D,
where players camouflage themselves by matching the colors and patterns around them.

I’m currently trying to figure out how to get my first few hundred/thousand players without spending a ton on ads.

For those of you who have launched an indie/mobile game:

What actually worked for you when getting your first players?

Reddit, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, influencers, paid ads, Google Play optimization, something else?

Would really appreciate hearing what worked (and what was a complete waste of time 😅).

Hey everyone, I just published my first version of a small mobile game called Kick the Footballer on iOS.

It’s a casual physics-style game where you create your own opponent, kick them around, earn coins, and unlock ridiculous weapons/upgrades. I made it as a fun side project and wanted to share it with the community to get honest feedback.

What I’d love feedback on:

• Does the concept sound fun enough to try?
• Does the App Store page communicate the game clearly?
• What would make you click install from the screenshots/icon?

Any feedback is super appreciated — especially brutal honesty. I’m mainly trying to figure out what to improve before I push the next update.

Hey, as some of you may already know, I am building a game to quench the gaming thirst of used to be gamers who are now busy with life.

Stridera awards and at the same time gatekeeps you from nerding out too much by converting your calories burnt into ingame currency which you use to explore a spiritually hollow world.

The game aims to reward you for living well and give you a little gaming cheat meal for it. Worry not, there is also passive generation of said currency for not so active days.

And instead of games like Pokemon GO, where you need your phone open whilst walking, Stridera lets you live your life and sync calories once you are ready and willing to play.

On your journey, you gather, craft, evolve your base, tame companions and occasionally even fight an enemy.

Currently only the first biome is playable as part of external testing (7 more to come).

I am attaching a video showing some of the “ritual”.

AI is used for image generation and coding assistance.

It's my first ever game. Had a lot of fun learning pixel art as a non artist. Hope I've improved enough by now for the visuals to be enjoyable!
