Hey! I recently released another game I've been working on! Compiled is a strategy board game I designed, inspired by assembly language and CPU architecture, and it's now available on Android. If you enjoy strategy games, check it out! #IndieGame #GameDev #StrategyGame #ProgrammingGame #IndieDev

Compiled - Apps on Google Play

A tactical board game where assembly commands shape every move.
