Mobile game project

Here you can see my personal game project called "Fish 'n Swing" which is a mobile game where you operate the fisherman and his boat while collecting many fish as possible in a limited time. There are also mobile advertisements and high score board included in the game.

The idea for the game came from the limitations of the actual tools for building the game and my skill using them. What could be achieved in this timeframe and what would be a topic familiar to people around the world. Also something which wouldn't be so serious at the same time.

I started building the game for Android and iOS platforms using Corona SDK and Kwik plugin for Photoshop. These tools were chosen because building the game could be done without serious coding skills. The project included designing, drawing, making the sounds, tweaking the code and bringing all together to a playable game, which was finished after about 6 months of work.

This project gave much experience on the developing process and publishing an application for Android and iOS. The game was released to App Store and Play Store in early 2017. In the first few weeks the game was downloaded about 3000 times (mainly on iOS) which was great, but was dropped to near zero after few months :) 
At that moment I understood the importance of maintaining, improving and marketing of a game.

So, unfortunately the game in not available in App Store or Google Play anymore. 

At the bottom you'll find a video showing actual gameplay for reference.

Thank you for reading.
