Game Dev Story vs Bunny to the Moon

Nearly everything is self-explanatory, and the bits that aren't get explained by your secretary. This makes for a game that is easy to understand, even if it does not seem evident at first.

Contracts are measured in weeks and development cycles in months, but time passes at the rate of one day per second. Though the core gameplay involves watching little icons pop up over your employees' heads, rarely do five seconds go by without some player action being prudent, if not required.

You get to choose what type of game you want to make, what tools you use to make it, who you hire to make it, what systems you publish the final product on and you get to watch how it is received by the world. Then you do it all over again bigger.

Game Dev Story Lite is available for free on the Google Play store. The Lite version ends after 2 in-game years.

Controls are simple taps to direct bunny's jumps, but they require a fine deal of precision to make good progress in the game. While this may prove to be frustrating it is also highly rewarding once mastered.

Permanent life upgrades can be found at the end of first 3 areas. These persist through further play-throughs and give a sense of achievement.

Progress can be reset, sounds can be turned off and the game doesn't automatically attempt to connect to google play services.

Bunny to the Moon looks and plays smoothly. Randomized obstacles keep the experience fresh each time.

The game is free, has no in app purchases and has only occasional ads in attempts to monetize. Bunny to the Moon also has a clear goal and ending.
