Monster March, my first attempt at making a game Android and Google Play store is now in its closed testing phase; a requirement of Google to be able to publish games under an individual developer account.
With it being my first ever Android app, I decided to go for a game that would be simpler to build to allow me to focus on the process of getting an app published on Google Play.
Monster March is a retro style arcade shooter based on a classic, with gameplay that gives all of the nostalgia of the original. The overall aim is to keep increasing your High Score.
If you want to mix it up though, you can use the options to make the game as easy or as difficult as you want, from changing the number of enemies, lives and bunker resets.
The game itself, while based on a classic, has been built from the ground up with custom sprites, sound effects and music, and the ability to change up the game with a variety of options to adjust the layout of enemies, and even a "Revenge" mode that breaks the original strategy for beating the classic this game is based on.
The testing period is expected to run for 2 weeks until 27th October 2025, with a hopeful release date a week or so after that.
If I manage to successfully publish this game, I hope to be able to publish a few more over the next year based on some of the games I have made for game jams, and maybe look at finishing off a few of the experimental projects I have previously started to help me learn how to make games.
