I was going to do a series of blog posts (you can read the first one here) about developing my "reimagined" Balablox, the most obscure game of all time. I also wanted to make it really polished and refined, with a full options screen with customizable controls and everything.
But years passed. And I was at a game developer conference and someone asked if I had published any games, and I had to explain this whole story to him.
He said: "Why don't you just put it on itch.io as it is?"
I was stunned. Of course! I could just do that. So I did.
It's really easy to publish on itch.io. It's less easy to get GameMaker Studio to actually generate an executable on macOS, but that's a rant for another day.
The game is free. It is provided as-is. I had fun with it. I hope someone else does too.
