Mutaspire

YARIK: Idle Boss Hunt
YARIK devlog #3: Into the Rift
The main game plays itself. The Rift doesn't. Thirty seconds, one character, no auto-attacks — how we turned a too-easy side mode into the most active part of YARIK.

Armory War
Armory War devlog #4: From mouse to thumb: Armory War on Android
Armory War was built for a mouse. Here is how it became a touch game, and the bug you only get on a phone.
