The history starts in early 2023 when I didn't have any games coded, now at least I am in the middle of doing one mobile game for Android.

The history starts in early 2023 when I didn't have any developed games, now at least I am in the middle of doing one mobile game for Android.

Rico The Archer is the name of the very first game, it's an aiming puzzle-shooting game for mobile devices. 

You play as Rico - archer - who shoots down objects like balloons, feathers, potions, knights. 

The mechanics, apart from aiming, would require puzzle solving as well as hitting as many obstacles with fewer arrows as possible, as the game includes bonus points combo system which awards more points for skilled players.

The release date is planned to be in mid 2024 when all major game mechanisms would be polished off and ready for beta players. The current state of it is:

• the game loads, lolz
• UI is done
• core game mechanisms are done
• 5 first stages with over 25 levels are ready
• 4 game bosses are waiting to be challenged
• shop is broken, wait what?
• bugs, bugs, LOADS of BUGS
• 4 more game mechanics need to be implemented, together with 5 more bosses

It's been a while, but I am gladly to announce a demo of Rico The Archer coming out in January 2025! :)

A first demo would be available to play to everybody most likely via itch.io platform for free!

The build would contain a total of 6 stages and more than 30+ levels to complete.

The delay is mostly caused by webGL implementation which wasn't as easy as I expected in the beginning. However after some long battles the build is playable on web browser and Android phones. Although Android APK file would be available via Google Play store to avoid confusions by not-experienced players.

The Androd version would be a default primary release though.

Planned Demo release date: 19th January 2025

Anywho, enjoy your New Year Eve :)

As planned I am greatly happy to announce a first playable demo of Rico The Archer available on itch.io :]

After so many hours or fixing and making the core mechanic works I can proudly say that Rico The Archer is now ready for all to be played!

What you get is: 5 different stage, 30+ levels and 5 bosses to beat!

Although you can play on smaller embedded window, though I recommend to use a full-screen option as there are still some bugs which caused items to be displayed only in full-screen mode.

Known demo bugs:

• level 1-1 does not load, due to Storyline libary not starting in WebGL (not an issue in Android version)
• level - can't be easily passed as anvil can't interact with balloons
