Last december, I participated in the GitHub Game Off. I had only two weeks to make something, so I dug up an old idea that fit the theme and worked some long hours to get a puzzle game with thirteen levels.

To my complete and utter surprise, I won 11th place.

Surely, I must have done SOMETHING right. Right?

So I decided to keep working on the game. I had already worked on it through the jam period, but knowing that the game was loved, I kicked it into a high gear.

That's why today I present to you: Into My Arms, the deluxe edition! (Or just: the final version.)

What's changed?

• The game now has 40 levels!
• There are 10 unique mechanics taught during the game.
• There's an actual storyline/theme running through the whole game (and influencing mechanics)
• The gameplay is much more finetuned: it's faster to play and restart, no more bugs (with double input for example), an undo-system if you want, I removed some of the "accidentally easy solutions" from levels, there's a better difficulty curve, and more.
• I applied loads of (visual) polish

I sincerely hope you enjoy this final version of the game. It's still available for free, on all desktop systems.

(I'm working on getting the game to the Play Store/App Store, where it will also be free, but you need to watch a rewarded ad if you want to undo. I don't like it either, but I need to monetize somehow, and this was the best thing I could come up with.)

Soon I will also write a postmortem on this game. Because even though I say this is the "final version", and I'm very proud of what I made, there is a lot more interesting stuff to be said about this game and my journey creating it. That journey might not be finished yet ...

As always, until the next devlog,
