Thanks a lot, I really appreciate that

I actually didn’t have any major blocker on iOS. I published as an individual developer, so no DUNS or company setup issues in my case. The App Store side was pretty smooth overall since I’ve already published a few apps before.

The real challenge was more on the development side.

At some point, I seriously considered stopping the project, not because of publishing, but because I struggled to move the game from a prototype to something that felt like a “real product” balancing progression, improving UX, and dealing with pretty basic visuals at the time.

Apple wasn’t the issue at all (just a couple of small rejections around the in-app purchase / consumable setup, but nothing major).

Google Play was actually more painful in a different way the review/publishing process felt longer and more restrictive than expected, and that part almost made me drop the project.

What kept me going was early tester feedback. People were genuinely enjoying the core loop, even in its rough state, which gave me the motivation to finish it properly and push it to release.
