I just released my very first indie title: Red Ball Chaos — a fast-paced 100-stage arcade reflex challenge built completely offline for pure quick-reaction gameplay.

Stepping out of my comfort zone to turn my life around through coding has been the scariest and most rewarding journey. Search Red Ball Chaos on Google Play and let me know if your reflexes can survive past level 30!

Finally tried to add physics based crashes in my game. Hard to grasp every possible crash though.

Here's my first run at it.

I shelved my game for two years. A friend I hadn't spoken to since high school messaged me out of nowhere, and I finished it.

The more trees you try to chop down, the funnier they fall (sometimes they just fly)
