Announcing SolveSum: A Testament to the Power of Starting Small

Hello fellow App Developers!

I'm thrilled to announce that my debut mobile game, SolveSum, is now live on both Apple App Store and Google Play!

A journey that began with a simple idea has now culminated into a fully functional game – thanks in large part to React Native and Expo. These tools not only simplified the development process but also eased the publication of this enticing puzzle game.

For those of you embarking on the journey of app development, especially for the Apple App Store and Google Play, I have a piece of advice: Start simple. SolveSum was my sandbox, allowing me to navigate the intricacies of the approval and submission process. By commencing with a smaller project, I was able to avoid the daunting fear of rejection that might have loomed over a project involving hundreds of hours of native coding.

The lessons I've acquired along the way have been invaluable. Not only have I learned the ropes of app stores, but I've also garnered the confidence to dive into more complex projects. To me, that's where the real fun begins!

About SolveSum:

SolveSum is more than just a puzzle game. It blends the intellectual challenge of Sudoku with the engaging mechanics of tile swapping games. As players, you're tasked with manipulating tiles to achieve the stipulated total for each row and column. And for every sum you get right? You score points!

Do take a moment to explore SolveSum and experience the result of my learnings firsthand.

Happy Coding and Gaming! 🎮📱
