Narcissus released on iOS!


Hey Folks!

Just thought I’d let you all know that Narcissus now available on iOS!

Grab it here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/narcissus/id1153362089

Can’t describe how happy I am for me to have reached this point. Honestly didn’t know if I’d ever reach this far with the game, in particular around this time last year when I was every heavily engaged in my previous job (That I loved but knew it was taking time away from doing games development and getting Narcissus released).

10 days after launch, the game has been downloaded over a quarter of a million times worldwide and was featured in the US, China, Japan, Russia, Europe and a hundred other countries! It’s been a fantastic introduction to developing my games commercially on the mobile platform and more than anything else, I’m just grateful to have reached the end of the project (After nearly 5 years on and off!).

If you could, if you’ve enjoyed playing the game previously and enjoy the phone build, I’d greatly appreciate a review and rating if you have the time.

I’m taking a little bit of a breather from the project (Since the last month has been mad) and then I’ll be releasing the version for Android. I’ll do another post when that comes out!
