changedThis decision comes after modest sales during the first month and a half after release. While the game was still profitable, financial gain was never my primary motivation (I have an independent job outside of game development). My true passion lies in creating Zach-like games with open-ended puzzles and intricate technical solutions. Now, my goal is to reach a wider audience. If significant revenue isn’t feasible, I’d much rather let more people experience and enjoy the game for free.
changedIf you’d like to make a donation, even a small one, I’d greatly appreciate it! There’s a donation button available on the Discord server, where you can also ask for help or discuss game levels: https://discord.gg/Kb6wJUyVRY .

  • The game is fully complete and features no microtransactions.

  • If you’d like to show your appreciation for playing the game for free, here’s a simple request: play through the first 12–20 levels, or as many as you like. If you enjoy the experience, leaving a positive review would mean the world to me (I will read you review for sure)—that’s all the “payment” I need!
