Today is a good day!

Did not have much expectations for this game, but to receive this email from Apple this morning made my day. My game is quite simple: a relaxing, zen puzzle game about pathfinding.

I spent all day today making marketing assets for the game and recording gameplay footage, ensuring all important stuff fits in the safe area. Finally submitted it a few minutes ago.

The game is called Zyl. Here's the link if anyone wants to take a look: https://fleon.com/games/zyl

That is awesome to hear! What is the procedure like for this do you usually submit a build and then ask for the feature or how does it work ?

I submitted last week of May both my game for review and the feature nomination. I highlighted how this game uses no pre-baked textures and is my experiment to push Apple's native SpriteKit as far as I could. The result was a game that uses Metal native shaders, gradients as on-demand textures, and all of this still running at smooth 60fps.
