The build above is the shelf version. If you want it re-skinned for your brand, retuned for a different audience, or extended with new mechanics, we quote each job by hand and deliver a new standalone build.
- Re-skin — palette, sprites, audio, logo and end screen.
- Retune — difficulty curve, level length, controls, mobile layout.
- Extend — extra enemy types, modes, scoring, save data.
Paid exports and rebuilds are in development. Nothing is charged yet — browse and play the shelf while we finish the request desk.
