Story of Zim's Word Game
Mrs. Zim: "Will you make me a game?"
Mr. Zim: "Um, is that a trick question?"
SHIP IT!
---------------
In all seriousness, this was just a fun project for friends and family that slowly morphed into a shippable title. We both are fans of Tetris (GameBoy Tetris 4eva) and word games, so the idea for this mashup came almost naturally. I did all of the development in GameMaker (huge fan of their product BTW) and sourced the art assets on gamedevmarket.net (because nobody likes coder art). There are still plenty of features to write and add but for now, I'm tickled to think that people are actually playing something that I put out in the wild.
Happy Tile Tapping!
