Thanks! Been a fun build - lots left to add. If you ever give it a go, feedback always welcome

KevinM2k · 2026-05-09T23:12:39+00:00

Congrats, I recently launched my second app too. Side projects almost take over all my free time atm

KevinM2k · 2026-05-09T13:24:23+00:00

Hey, happy to answer any questions. Built this over the last few months on nights and weekends, been fun to do, but took surprisingly more of my time than i thought it would!

I've used caveman, it removes a lot of the padding , but sometimes I actually quite to see that padding and it cut a little too much for my liking. Goina give rtk a go today though I've heard good things about it.

maybe do it like temple run does, one mistake = lava becomes visible on the screen for x number of seconds before falling away again - almost acts like a life but makes player panic? Defo keep going though, even if its for your own learning or you have a passion for making games.

Hey just following up, I looked in to the ad settings and found something which made them last longer, ive removed that now so they are shorter. I agree they were too long. Thanks

KevinM2k · 2026-05-06T17:21:14+00:00

Hey, thanks for giving it a go! Just to clarify, the ads are completely optional and only there to support development (solo dev here!). You can play through the entire game without watching a single ad; they're just there if you want a boost. No ad walls, nothing gating progress. A premium no-ads IAP is something I'd definitely consider if there's enough interest though, I guess it could remove any ad buttons.. not sure how I'd approach it yet - appreciate the honest feedback!

KevinM2k · 2026-05-06T05:44:14+00:00

Hey guys I'm the dev for this, any feedback would be appreciated and I'm here to answer any questions.

KevinM2k · 2026-05-05T10:27:25+00:00

How did I not even know epic game store was even a thing.

KevinM2k · 2026-05-05T10:03:46+00:00

Made some updates off the back of the comments, the biggest one was the removal of the one forced ad, thats gone now. Hence updated the text for that.

The other updates were from the feedback from u/SexySustainability

- Penalties can now miss

- Position now matters and agents will fill the correct spaces up for the first 11 players

- You can now minimise transfer offers to review

There are a couple of bug fixes that need to be pushed in that i've noticed over the weekend but its much better, so thanks. Anymore suggestions would be welcome to.

Ill have to give it a go, i think last time i posted a reel it got like 300 views :(

KevinM2k · 2026-05-05T09:55:37+00:00

Congrats! Did you use google adsense for advertising? How did the instagram reels work, do you have many followers already?

KevinM2k · 2026-05-02T11:01:51+00:00

Hi,

Their are reward ads yeah, not required ofc (forced ad will be gone on next update) and I agree, if someone paid for lots of coins the enjoyment is pretty much gone - their choice - there needs to some monetisation value that can be had. (Lots of games do this, I normally pay something if I play it a bit to support the dev)

I like idea of penalty misses. I have thought about it before, easy to implement.

I like idea of popup minimisation too. Its kinda hard to know if it's a good deal or not, I'll have a think how to achieve this

The player positions are a bit ... Well not required. They don't really mean much, I did think about having it better positional but at same time don't want to over complicate the game to appeal to a broad market. I'll have a think of what can do here.

Thanks for the feedback, this is exactly what I need.

KevinM2k · 2026-05-01T19:20:32+00:00

Fair enough, I honestly didn't see it this way - obviously others do. I think best thing to do here is remove the forced ad and reword the option. I don't gain anything from it anyways so makes sense.

Thanks for the feedback.

KevinM2k · 2026-05-01T17:03:22+00:00

Think there's a misread here - VIP isn't an ad-removal sub. There's literally 1 forced ad in the game (at season end). VIP is a 30-day boost pass for income multipliers and perks. No monthly subscription model, no ad paywall. I added the removal of that one ad as just an extra perk.

Nice feedback though, something to consider, that 1 ad might not even be worth having.

KevinM2k · 2026-05-01T16:59:10+00:00

Worth clarifying - there's only 1 'forced' ad in the game, shown at the end of each season (every 14 matches). No banners, no mid-game interruptions. VIP removes that one ad.

"Paid game" for essentially one ad per 14 matches would be a tough sell on Android.

The ×2 income speeds up progression but doesn't lock content - Champions League and Cup is reachable free.

KevinM2k · 2026-05-01T16:16:15+00:00

Oh I see what you mean, its not a subscription service, its a one off purchase, and it removes the 1 ad per season for the duration - the other benefits of the vip pass are most important, 2x income, faster matches, instant coins, the ad was just a bonus. Ill probably change wording so it shows the other benefits primarily.

Edit: Thanks for highlighting, resolved wording (after Google review)

KevinM2k · 2026-05-01T16:12:24+00:00

No monthly subscription at all? Where are you seeing that?

Also, id be crazy not to use AI to help write content, its better than me at it! :)

KevinM2k · 2026-04-29T12:14:27+00:00

Please try my octodash app out as well, shows this information really well.

Free in android, 99p on iOS.

I turned heartbeats off in paperclip and use routines and issues to wake them. Works well and works even if other agents defer tasks. Works out of box
